has been in coma for 3 days now

Greetings,
Thank you in advance for your help, is truly appreciated.
My father in law had a car accident from about 3 days , and he has been in a complete coma since then, first he didn't move
at all or respond to any pain.
from a couple of days started to move his right side and yesterday i saw him moving his arms and legs as like he is feeling
pain, but still in coma. The CT Scan didn't show anything. Doctors keep telling us his CT scans are of a healthy man and
they don't know what's wrong with him and why he doesn't wake up , although i read that when a patient in a Coma for more
than 24 hours and his CT Scans seems good that leads to suspect of DAI.
I had a doctor report yesterday stating that
Polytraumatized GCS 6/15.
Hemiplegia on left side
weak flextion to pain on Right Side
Both eye pupil are miotic
I will be having his CT Scans today , he had a pelvis fracture too. with no other apparent fractures at all or even bleeding.
he has undergone an open heart surgery from a couple of years and he takes medication for high blood pressure , although
when they first measured his blood pressure after the accident it was 90/50 , he is now at the ICU with a ventilator , they
keep telling us they are using the ventilator for him not to make effort breathing and when they remove it his blood pressure
starts to go up.
what do you suggest , in the light of what i stated above what is true condition and on the long term how he will be. what
does tha mean and how serious is his injury , will he recover or not and if yes will be having any kind of impairment.
Thank you so much for you consideration
looking forward for your reply , please ASAP.

I am not a doctor but based on the results IMO he should recover. I have heard of people being in coma more than 3 days and completely recovered.
