Suggest Treatment For Brain Damage Caused By Accident
My grandson was in a terrible accident 12 weeks ago and is still not responding to questions, talking, eating, moving, raising his head or basically not verbal. He will curse the therapists when they are working with him. He is being fed through his stomach tube and is not verbal with his speech therapist. What are we looking at as far as recovery. He has brain damage and is paralized on his left side.

I am very sorry to hear your problem. brain damage is a kind of damage which is irreversible . once the brain cells are damaged they can not be reversed to their original state. All what you need to do is treat as your neurosurgeon has asked you to do. give him nutrition through the naso gastric tube. hourly change posture to avoid bed sores. keep the patient clean and dry.
