Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here.. My Father in law had an aneurysm 3 weeks ago. They clipped it and did an external drain. He remained unconsious so they decided not to do a shunt and instead proceeded to palliative care. His vitals are strong. He is not on a ventilator. He is 85 and prior to this exercised everyday and had no medications. He had no medical problems except arthritis. He is on ativan for seizure but nothign else. could he recover? what questions should we ask?
