it can take time - in my case it was 11 days from when they started to try and wake me to when I was really aware.

Hi Purple rain.

Great news but like Sepsur has said it takes time. It was a long time for me also so don't be disheartened he will get there. Just be there as much as you can. Talk, read , play some music he likes anything it’s your voce to reassure.

My daughter used to hold my hand and just talk, my son would play music we both liked.

Good luck
