Hi I Am Tracey. My Brother In Law Just Had

Hi I am Tracey. My brother in law just had a brain stem stroke today and we don't know much else yet. they are going to keep him asleep for a few days for the brain to recover. He did have positive babinski reflexes but the dr. said that it doesn't look good. I have been reading about it for the last few hours and there are people who have survived. What are your thoughts on survival, quality of life or length of life in these cases. My e mail is YYYY@YYYY
