Had my father deal with this same thing and they usually do an induced coma as soon as possible. They were interviewing some lady from the slopes who said she was talking and alert right after the accident. I am gonna wait til I hear more before giving up on her.

I lived brain injury in my family for over 8 months and I was really pretty sure she was going to be okay because they would never put someone with brain swelling into a plane from Montreal to New York. Now I have to wonder if doing this was the cause of death. I know you have to give relief to that swelling and one of the ways they do that is the induced coma. I just feel so sad for this family and especially those two teenage boys.
