<s>[INST] My dad had a heart attack and was intubated on 9/27, when they went to wake him up from sedation on monday october 1st - he didn t wake up. He can t move his rt arm and the ct scan of his brain showed a large left MCA. He seems to blink and move his left side alot but not following commands or waking up. I know he may have severe deficits. Do you think he has a chance to wake up? Yesterday has been a week. [/INST] Hi, Thank you for posting your query. It is unfortunate that your father has suffered a massive brain stroke of the left side of brain. This has resulted in right sided weakness and inability to speak/understand. The recovery is going to be delayed and incomplete. Regular physiotherapy and speech therapy would be very useful in ensuring good recovery. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly/ </s>
