What is this condition called?

samedi 18 juillet 2015

It has been extremely difficult to wake up my wife's grandmother the past two days, to the point that we almost thought she was in a coma. In the end, she only woke up after her son literally bit her shoulder ( they live in China, and the medical system in their city is not trusted, nor do they want to take her to the hospital unless there is a reasonable chance that she can be helped)

Her grandmother has been in poor health for years ( may have had multiple mini strokes)and hasn't been able to get out of bed or move without help for over a year. She is also often not very lucid, though this may partially be related to the fact that she is almost blind.

She has still ate and drank a little the past two days after waking up.Only other thing I can think of symptom wise is that she has a bed sore, though there are no signs of infection or fever.

The main thing is I haven't been able to find a medical term for this sort of near comatose state ( though once she wakes up she responds to questions).Thank you for any and all help in providing thoughts on what this could be called?
