Hi Cody,
September 23, 2013 - 6:28pmMy mom's residency doctor never do the"Steroids and other medications may be used to reduce the swelling that accompanies injured brain tissue. This may help limit the amount of damage to the brain. The doctor will also increase the amount of oxygen reaching the brain." but let her lay there on her bed. They only have EEG on her and says anoxic brain injury as initial prognosis. They only give her Keptra for seisure and do nothing more. It has been a month and a half. Her eyes are rolling without responding to me.
