Also ask her to blink for a "yes" and to wrinkle her nose for a "no" answer. Or some movement or squeeze of hand that signals a yes or no. She may not have a lot of brain activity but she is blessed to have your friendship and her spirit most likely recognizes your presense. I spent 6 years providing music therapy to a young woman in a coma and it was very humbling. Try to get stories from all her children and retell them to her. Good luck.

Like others have said, just be there for her, reading, stroking her hair and face, talking to her etc. She will know you are there and it will be alot of comfort to her. Miracles can happen....I know, I was one of them. <br /><br />May God bless you all!
