Grateful-
I'm glad to hear he's improving.
And to your question if people in a sedated state can hear you ? Yes, they can. People in a coma can hear what's going on around them. So keep talking calmly to him.
I can say that from personal experience.. I was in a coma for two days, and I can recall several conversations that were had around me, and my wife holding my hand telling me I was going to be OK and to come back to her.
And I can remember a nurse talking to another nurse speculating when "this one would check out", and I really, really, really wanted to yell "I'm Not Dead !" (I'm a huge Monty Python fan), but I wasn't able to.
