trying to be me What happened to cause this? If your friend is following people with her eyes then she is not brain dead If the brain is dead then the eyes will not react to light let alone follow someone She may not be able to get her message across but if her eyes work then part of her brain works too

Has she tried to follow any one person with her eyes in particular at any particular time or is it anyone in her field of vision? Her doctors should be working out what is going on happening in there to cause the paralysis and try Deep Brain Stimulation

But if the brain is dead then eyes would not work or react to light in any way Brain death must be tested for neurological responses for blink reposnse pain response movement gag etc and other stimuli

I am sorry your friend is in such a situation it is always very difficult to take and very difficult to deal with when a friend or loved one is hurt in any way
