URGENT HELP !

3 weeks ago, after a prolonged seizure, my 16-month old daughter came into a deep sedation status.  After the anti-seizure medications were reduced or even stopped, she did not wake up.  As of today, she is still in a deep sedation (or light coma) mode.  She is responding to pain by withdrawing her legs or arms, and her eyes do move from side to side when they are open.  However, she has no reaction to stimulus such as light, sound, moving objects, etc.  Doctors at the hospital (mainly neurologists) could not figure out what caused the seizure or what caused her not waking up.
