My sister had a spasm in her heart which caused her to have a heart attack, the minute she arrived at the emergency room she went on a cardiac arrest, she was resusitated twice, according to the dr.'s it took approximatly 20 min. before she came back. Due to that lengh of time she has severe brain damage. She is able to open her eyes but will not response to nothing else. Dr. said if she makes it thru she will be in a complete vegetation state. After a brain damage, is there anything else that can be done? How can I get more information about brain damage, and what to do?
