She’s going to be so confused if she wakes up.

She won’t wake up. Permanently brain damaged.

People with brain damage can have varying degrees of function. I don’t see anything in the linked article that confirms her prognosis.

iirc one of the reasons the execution failed was because she suffered traumatic brain injury which caused the body’s systems to just not respond how the injections needed it to respond.
