What is normal when someone wakes from a coma he was attacked and

My sister is still in hospital. She had a caecostomy as opposed to a colostomy or illeostomy. I can find very little information in caecostomies other than they are considered palliative. She is still experiencing leaking from the transverse colon and had a drain fitted but every time they move her the

Doctor App. Tomorrow! Maybe some results this time!!
OK so I go to the doctor in the morning. I've been to the hospital for ct scan it came back ok. Had "fluid behind ear drums". Seen a ENT said it was ears sweating..... And have to have nasal surgery. Well, still I'm having fluid come out my ears everyday, not leaking but I can feel like water coming

Movicol problems
So my daughter41/2 has been doing really well since disimpaction in April on 1 movicol a day. She's done loads of days with no accidents, then recently a bit of a regression, had 3 accidents this week, quite loose. Wondering whether to reduce the movicol to 1/2 a day but so worried she'll get blocked

palliative care suggesting new meds
Dad's neurologist had him see palliative care for evaluation, basically they said there is nothing medically they can do. The doctor in palliative care was very nice, listened and appeared genuinely concerned but offered nothing really in the way of help. She does want to try a different med called
