So very sorry to hear what has happened to your dad. Has he also contracted Meningitis? He has sustained a traumatic brain injury from the fall so you may find the HealthUnlocked Headway forum helpful as well as Headway is the organisation for people with a brain injury. Drs will always give the worse outcome possibility because not even the specialists will be able to predict the outcome as everyone's recovery can vary so much and although there is the possibility your dad may not survive some people do defeat the odds and have som recovery.

Best wishes

Dear don't worry he will definitely come out talk to you soon. I pray for his good health. I have had gone through the same situation in 2013 while my kids admitted me in AIIMS, India in brain dead condition. Now I have come over all the problems. Don't worry, just pray and take care of your father with full devotion and confidence. God checks our level of confidence in difficult time. And you have to pass this test. You may chat with me on my face book page messenger at facebook.com/ssanalysis/?hc... just leave a message about the next available time.
