Posted here for the traffic:
My father had a stroke on Sunday. He was alone at home and found unconscious in the evening. He was rushed to hospital for cranial decompression surgery. Since then he's been unconscious and his pupils are not responding to light. He can breathe on his own, though he's attached to a ventilator as a precaution.
Does anyone have experience of a situation like this? What can we hope for? I love him so much.
I've just been told that there's brainstem damage and he has a less than 10% chance of waking up.
