My sister in Coma

my only sister who suddenly collapsed at her work place on 4th Aug was in deep coma at ICU, this is her 5th day, the surgeon also suggest that we pull out the plug, we felt this is too early but she only stand a chance of 5% recovery. We hope for a miracle as she is only 43 year, been working more than 10 years as a kindergarten teacher with a kind heart towards the lovely kids. Her GCS now is only 4, the surgeon said the higer the GCS, the higher chance for her to recover. He said the best time for miracle to happen is within the first 2 weeks. We do not want to give up so early, can anyone share their experience on this? Her collapsed was caused by Aneurysms in her brain.
