Cliff notes:

Lady has been in the hospital for 15 yrs.
Her brain will never heal so that she can chew food again.
She has no movement besides her chest moving up and down between breaths
The involuntary muscles, lungs, heart, and other organs work as long as food is shoved down her throat.

She can't open her eyes, nothing, never will. Husband realizes this, family can't let her go (even though she just lays there).
