Further Comments
She can still move her shoulders with full power and legs as a whole just slightly (very little ignoreable movement) no banding no finger movement no had banding no lifting or elevating.
My friend I am really greatful about your comments and apologize about the delayed relpy but I was too busy in the Hospital. Great news is that she is recovering slowly and I discussed it with my physician and he allowed the injection of Citicoline IV 1000 mg 10 days today is 10th day.
But there are 2 areas still gray her full body movement and she has a chest tube inserted in her right lung and it is now more than 15 days and still shows signs of nemo and very little surgical infisima and also is on slow sucker.
History of body movement is that even in her early worst days she was able to move her leg to full potential but then hospital start giving her sedation and then she lost the touch sense and body movement specialy hands and legs do you thing that the sedation has supressed the sense and if it is then can we do some thing.
Please Advice

Hi.
I'm sorry to learn what happenned. From what you have described, I believe that this is what we call an hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, which is a state that the brain undergoes after it had suffered loss of blood flow and oxygen (from the 3-7minutes cardiac arrest). Indeed, this length of time that the brain is deprived of blood is already enough to cause some form of brain damage.
I believe that the MRI, though can give us information on what parts of the brain is involved, will not tell us much on when her symptoms would improve or when will she recover. At this point, only time can tell if she would improve or not. I would suggest that you discuss with the doctors regarding neuroprotectant drugs such as citicholine or piracetam to protect other areas of the brain from further damage.
I hope she can still eventually recover... Regards and God bless.
