1. When my 80 year old SIL was in a coma we played Mozart for her for weeks

in the ICU and the next level of care.

They were talking about pulling the plug on her at one point but we wanted to try music therapy first. The docs were shocked but she went from gaining consciousness to going on dialysis every day to having it every 3 days to once a week and now she is living independently and doing just fine.

I must add she is living in a retirement hotel but has her own room and goes to the dining room for her meals. She can come and go as she wishes. Will have her 87th birthday in May.
