PLEASE tell your relatives that oftentimes people in a coma can hear everything going on in the room around them. AAM, and all others who have remarked on this, I have passed on this wisdom. I was unconscious for four days when I was 17 and I know from that awful experience that you can still hear while "out." And that negative things should never be spoken in the presence of the patient, and that positive things, especially things such as, "This is what happened, this is what the doctors are doing; we are here for you. we will stay here with you, and etc. etc. etc.," have a massive impact for good on the patient.

Yes - music is good, reading favorite books is good (nothing too exciting!) And just being there and being positive.
More prayers for Carrie & your whole family.

May I suggest that someone say this prayer aloud to Carrie each day?
I said it by my husband's bed in ICU for two weeks in November. We still pray it every day aloud for ourselves and others in need of healing.
Praise be to God, he came home on Dec. 1 and is now resuming his bicycle riding.
The Lord says, "I will rescue those who love Me. I will protect those who trust in My name. When they call on Me, I will answer. I will be with them in trouble, I will rescue and honor them. I will reward them with a long life and give them My salvation."
Healing Confession
Heavenly father, I thank you for your Living Word. You said that your Word is Life to those who find it and medicine to all their flesh. Today, by my confession, I apply your Word to (name) by giving voice to it.
You said in Psalm 139:14 that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and that your works are marvelous. I declare that you made (name) and (he/she) is a marvelous creation.
I speak to sickness and disease today and proclaim that according to Philippians 2:10 that they must bow down to the mighty name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Every name in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth bows its knee to Jesus' name.
I speak to (name) body today and declare that I have authority over it. I command it to receive the Word of God. Matthew 8:17 proclaims that Jesus bore (name) sickness and took (his/her) infirmities.
Heavenly Father, I thank you that the same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead dwell in (name) and makes alive (his/her) mortal body.
I speak to (name) immune system and command it to line up with the Word of God. (name) immune system will destroy sickness and disease in (his/mher) body and perform its job; for this is what God created it to do.
I thank you Father that every cell in (name) body responds to your Word. Your Word permeates (his/my) body from the top of my head to the bottom of (his/her) feet. I confess that the Word of God is being made flesh in (his/her).
Psalm 103:3 declares that you Father forgave all (name) iniquities and healed all (name) diseases. Father, that is your confession and I make it my confession also. I don't judge by the sight of my eyes; I judge by your Living Word. It is your Word that lives in me and brings health and healing to every part of (name) body.
Heavenly Father, I rejoice at your promise of divine health. You said it and I believe it! Today, I declare that I will see your promise of healing manifest in (name) body.
Healing is mine because Jesus paid the price two thousand years ago. God so loved me that He sent His Son to die on the cross so that we could experience life on God's terms. His abundant life is manifesting in us. Make (name) whole- body, soul, and spirit. Amen.

Prayers for Carrie. Setbacks are not uncommon. We'll have to redouble our prayers for 'our' girl.
