Vegitative state?


Question:
MY FRIEND WAS IN A CAR WRECK AND IS NOW IN A VEGETATIVE STATE. WHAT DOES NOT MAKE SENCE TO ME IS THE FACT THAT HE CAN FOLLOW THE NURSE AROUND THE ROOM WITH HIS EYES AND HE CAN ANSWER QUESTIONS WITH HIS EYES. ALSO HIS EXTREMITIES WERE MOVING. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH HIM?

Neurological damage is slow in terms of recovery time ... do not give up on him; miracles do happen sometimes.

Other Answers:
he might have a spinal injury
looks to me that your friend is in some state of paralysis and may still have some cognitive function. it is imperative that they work towards increasing these abilities so that they may if not in fact heal to higher levels of functioning. perhaps they got the diagnosis wrong and need to work things out with communication.

Sounds like his brain was injured and he is unable to speak and maybe he is unable to form thought on his own at this time. He may be able to answer questions but the part of his brain that makes him speak and generate thoughts is damaged. I hope you are able to speak with his nurse doctor or family member soon. It may be helpful to know if there is any way you can help your friend improve.
ok
Different parts of your brain works the parts of your body. I would talk to the doctor and find out what is going on. There is always that chance that he will get better. Pray alot and I will pray also
