@stan, please convey him my personal experience of miracle. One of my very close relative had a brain stroke in 1st week of October, and was put in the ICU for near a month. Here is a photo I took in the ICU ( for the first time posting it here) in first few days where there was some hope.

But after couple of weeks, he was lying there with full body paralysis after which the doctor advised to take him home. They said, there is very little hope of he recovering (as if he were brain dead) and we took him home.

After 4 months of nursing and care at home, today he has recovered to raise his hands, recognize people, murmuring , express some feelings. There are certain things beyond medical science, and I think, Paul can definitely make a come back.

And there are even alternative medicines, which are effective and worthwhile to explore. I will be happy to personally show videos of my relative, if Paul wants to see how life can see miracles.
