A family member had a massive aneurysm rupture. The surgeon said it was 30x the size of the average aneurysm.

He has been unconscious since it ruptured a week and a half ago. There are some movements, but none that we can call consistent or purposeful yet. They do seem to be improving though.

I'm wondering if the size of the aneurysm matters for prognosis or recovery? The doctor said he's behind where they'd like him to be, but is that perhaps due to the size? And if so, what does recovery look like? Is he more likely to have significant impairments down the road? Has anyone recovered from a very large ruptured aneurysm and can give a personal account?
