Coma

My husband has been in a coma for 8 weeks now. The doctors wanted me to pull the plug after 10 days which I think is to soon. He is now opening his eyes, grimace when in pain, starting to grip my hand, slight movement with legs. Can anyone tell me what this means and is there a possibility he will wake up. A nurse told me that we need to wait at least 100 days prior to making a decision. Is this true? I love my husband dearly and I want to make sure that I am giving him a fair chance.
