This poor child is dead, and she has been dead for 3 weeks. No one has ever recovered from brain death. This is not suspected brain death, and it is not a coma or vegetative state - it is proven brain death. She has been tested and tested and tested. She is dead and despite the ventilators her body has slowly been decomposing for 3 weeks.

Here is a very informative post about this case.
