Coma Support Group
A coma is a profound state of unconsciousness. A comatose patient cannot be awakened, fails to respond normally to pain or light, does not have sleep-wake cycles, and does not take voluntary actions. Coma may result from a variety of conditions, including intoxication, metabolic abnormalities, central nervous system diseases, and hypoxia.
My mom had a stroke(aneurysm) 3 years ago, now she's in the hospital. She still relies totally on the ventilator, however she sometimes move her fingers and feets. Most of the time when i tell her the old stories or sing her the songs she know, she shows reflects, by turning her face or sometime move her feets. Her health remains steady throughou the year. However, as the time goes, I feels so USELESS! Everyday when i visit my mom, i would spend hours and hours doing my homework or reading, and spend so little time to actually talk or sings to my mom. Not that i don't wanna talk to her, but it's because sometimes, my head goes blank about what to speak to mom. Sometimes, i just don't know what to sing or what to even do for her, and i just sit there thinking of what my mom would do if I'm in coma. She would know what to do! I miss her so much! Every time I remember the fact that my mom is in coma, in the quiet room in the hospital, everyday just the same, I would feels so sorry for her. I want to fill her day with joy and fun, i want to use her ability to move her fingers to allow her to do some activities that would make her day became better, or at least more memorable. So, I would like to ask you guy if there's any activities that I can do with mom involing in it. Are there any thing that I could do for her to make she feels better?
