You are very blessed to have your beloved alive. My little girl had a brain stem hemorrhage and they told me she was dead and they took her off the ventilater and sent her to the morge. That was the end of her. Be very thankful!!!

I had a stroke (hemhorragic) in my brainstem three years ago.  It does take time and his fight as well as his famiy's fight will help.  I'm sure he is gettig therapy.  Could you and/or his family help him with some of his exercises for physical therapy? His brain (and nerves) have to be "retrained" how to do most things.

I wish you and your family the best!
