A member asked:
What are some disorders that can be caused by the baby not getting enough oxygen to the brain?and which of them are most similar to a vegetative state
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Different issues...: Time to talk with the baby's pediatrician, as a parent can get confused about what's happening to the baby. Being in a vegetative state is what we humans all try to avoid, because vegetative means we have only a portion of the life we are supposed to have as animals. Not getting enough oxygen is a different issue. One has to ask about oxygen... how little, for how long, in what kind of patient.
