DAI grade 2+
Hi everyone, my girlfriend was kept in a medically induced coma for 3 weeks, during which she also underwent several surgeries. We are now at the beginning of the sixth week after the injury.
At the moment she opens her eyes, moves her pupils both to the right and left (more to the left), and moves her eyelids normally, but unfortunately she still does not track with her eyes.
She has noticeable spasticity, especially in her right arm, which she moves often, while the left arm is a bit less rigid. She also continues to move her head from side to side during the day.
In addition, she has autonomic storms/crises with sweating and a heart rate around 110/120 bpm, and she keeps grinding/rubbing her teeth.
I wanted to ask anyone who has gone through similar experiences: did you notice these kinds of behaviors before waking up or before neurological improvements? Thank you so much to anyone who replies.
