That is so sad. i have never gone through this myself, but im sure if you pray hard she will get better. I didnt used to believe in God until i prayed to him and asked him to help my step-father get through horrible leg injuries. the doctors said that there was a big chance the legs would have to come off. But i prayed to God every hour. and pretty soon he got better. i now go to church every Sunday.
but, what im trying to say is she’ll be okay. just pray hard.

First of all, they would not have done surgery on her if they did not think she would make it. You sister is young and otherwise healthy, which helps her chances. Is she still unconsoius because she is on a ventalator? That could be medication induced to force her to rest. Doctors are not usually optomistic about some like her unless they are confident that things are going well. So believe in them and you sister. It may take a while, but she will be alright. Keep the faith and say a prayer. And I will too!
If your sister needs further care, there are excellent facilities for people who have traumatic brain injuries. They help the patient recuperate through physical therapy and mental stimulation.
If the doctors say she has a good chance to recover, believe in what they say. Stay positive. Lots of studies relate that friends and family who talk to patients in a coma, help in the recovery of the patient.
If you are religious, prayer is very powerful. I wish your family the best outcome for your sister.
