thank you
EEG shows there is no brain death while your father seems to me he had prolonged resuscitation that's why his brain was affected by Interruption of oxygen resulting in a coma,,
we are sorry did not help you as you expect,,,
my advice to you to get help from an expert in neurology In the near future
