asked

My aunt was initially hospitalized for pneumonia at the age of 78, was placed on a ventilator multiple times, and now shows no response to commands. She has been in ICU for 6 weeks and is worse than ever. What could have happened, and does she have a chance of returning to a normal life? If not, what aftercare can the family expect, and how long can she survive with a trach and feeding tube?
