Doesn't look good, especially if it hasn't moved from that position in a week. If the legs and other parts are still moving then there's hope. Get her into an ICU ASAP! Get a plastic container like a cool whip or butter tub. Get it as clean and sterile as possible, and place a damp, but not soaking wet papertowel in the bottom. Ensure there are some ventilation holes in it, put the T in it, and place it in a quiet warm place. Swap out the paper towel twice a day to keep it clean, if necesseary move it to a new ICU (have a second one ready). Do this for a week and see if anything changes. It is about your only hope at this point. Good Luck.
