Awakenings

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/11/21/60minutes/main3530299_page3.shtml

This is a 12 minute 60 Minutes special about Brain injured people. It talks about how they have been misdiagnosised and have been waking up. They mention the sleeping pill treatment. I know you mentioned that has been ineffective for Tori. But there is always hope. Stem Cell Therapy seems to be the best hope today.

The also mention the fMRI as being able to access consciousness in patients.

I have learned that the most advanced fMRI machines in the world can be found in New York and Belgium.

The segment also mentions George Melendez's family. Perhaps you can contact them as well to see what help and support they may be able to provide.
