A member asked:
My mum s in coma from 12 days, 2 days ago she opened her eyes and started to look around. is she healing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Good sign: Recovery from a coma can be frustratingly slow. If she is opening her eyes and looking around, that is a very good sign. Slowly but surely she will do more. Spend time with her, read to her, play her favorite music, rub lotion on her arms and legs to keep her skin healthy, and some of the time just sit by her. Over time she will be back.
