My friend has a concussion. His brother snapped and pushed him down a flight of stairs (long story). I don't really know much about concussions, but I know that you're not supposed to sleep or you could go into a coma or die or something BAD. I need to keep my friend awake. He's having trouble keeping his eyes open, and he won't call a doctor. He was SUPPOSED to go to the hospital earlier but didn't. I just don't know what to do. I don't know how to keep him awake. I can't help him much over msn, but I have to try. I have to do SOMETHING.
Some help would be really appreciated, thanks.

Uh, definately try and get him to go to a hospital.
Just keep talking to him.
Ask him things that you have to think about. Complex things.

He had to get off the computer. Maybe his parents will take him to a hopsital.
But... what if they don't? I'm completely useless now. I can't help him... I can't...
What if he falls asleep? Oh no...

Unfortunately, there really isn't much you can do.
Call him, maybe?

I wish I had his number...
I don't know what to do now. What happens if he falls asleep? Will he...
He promised he wouldn't, but...

Like I said before, there isn't much more you can do except pray for his well-being.

You're right. I can't do anything. I wish I could do more...
I'm sorry I'm so panicked, really. I wish I could be calmer.
Thank you. I think I'd be a lot MORE panicked without a rational voice.

It's no problem. I can't sleep anyways :P
But yeah, it's good in a way that you are this concerned. It shows you are a good, concerned friend.
But yeah, you just need to calm down a little right now.
Everything should be fine.
