Suggest Treatment For Damaged Brain Tissue Due To Head Injury

My dads in stable condition in ICU at Portland ME MaineMed. His name is Milton G Turner age 63. But is suffering from severe brain trauma. He s unresponsive and has siezures on his face. He fell off our roof at 12feet and his heart stopped. They paddled him and adrenaline shot him. My mom did CPR first. They are going to talk to all family tommrrow. I m his oldest son. I want a second option. I don t want him to die. I m willing to sacrifice my future and everything I own to save him. As long as I can work I will pay the docs. I feel helpless. Is there anything out there that can regenerate damaged brain tissue quickly? Please help

Hi, I'm sorry for very serious health condition of your father. You reported a neurological condition compatible with an extensive brain damage caused by head trauma and cardiac arrest.

Unfortunately, there are no ways to brain tissue regeneration significantly. Seizures and loss of consciousness denote the extensive brain injury. This degree of injury can even lead to brain death. If a patient with extensive brain injuries survive neurological sequelae often severe, with the patient becoming bedridden, without talking, with a high degree of dependence on others for bathing, eating, dressing.

I believe that your family will need your strength to get through this period of difficulty.

I wish wisdom and peace for you and your family. I am available for other questions.
