Is there any reasonable hope that she may be able to rehab?

Riding downtown Chicago on some expressway, no helmet. Car in front of them got cut off, slam on the brakes which cause a chain reaction. She fell off the back of the bike and got hit by a car and a fellow sportbiker

Here is the original post with all of the details -

Slanzilla -
Kzz1 is correct in saying that it doesn't look good. We were really hopefull when Leena woke up and was able to move her eyes and twitch her fingers. It has now been 5 months since she opened her eyes and nothing has changed / improved since then. She was able to be moved and is now in Kalamazoo (closer).
Still praying for the best. She had muiltiple injuries so maybe her body has shut down and is just in a healing state. One can hope!!
The scary part is that she had massive head trauma and it is hard to tell just how much brain damage that she has incurred.
Thanks for your thought's DS!!!

I was in my picture files today and looking at some photos. I found the pictures we took just before this trip. The guy's were all lined up in our driveway getting ready to leave for the Chicago Trip. I took a picture of Leena on her hubby's Hayabusa.

This is the picture taken of Leena on the day before the accident.
We did not go on this trip because of my broken leg. All the guy's met at our house to leave
