A family member has Hep C, Cirrhosis, and late stage liver cancer. Today he was found at his home, incoherent. He's now in a coma (Hepatic encephalopathy?). I just want straight answers on his chance of waking up again, and the likelihood of brain damage (and severity) if he does? As of now he's still resting, occasionally opening his eyes by reflex. At some point tonight the doctor is going to try to wake him from the coma in order to speak with a couple family members (also, what is the realistic hope of this wake-up attempt being successful?). I'm aware I might sound a bit pessimistic, but he's already outlived his prognosis by 2-3 times. I just want to know what to expect.
