My heart goes out to you and your family.
On Feb 10th my father lost his pulse and it took the paramedics 30 minutes to get his heart working again. Dad fell into a coma and does not respond to anything. He breathes on his own and the doctors say that he is healthy... well, except for the most important part... his brain.
Medically speaking, the doctors tell us that there is slim to zero chance that he will ever get out of this. However, we still pray and hope that dad will wake up one day soon. There are many wonders in the medical world and miracles do happen (whether we believe in them or not) and we just keep hoping and praying that a miracle will come our way.
I wish you all the best and your brother is in my prayers. May we both see our close ones stand up and walk again soon.
