Hi @Elaine13121

It took me eleven days to come round from a two month coma - but I am 52. Age is a factor / everyone uniquely reacts to an induced coma and delirium is a result with some - there are articles on this too. Hope everything improves for your father
I was 55 and in ICU for over 3 weeks. I experienced delirium for 3/4 days after I came out of induced coma. I hope your dad is better soon.
