Hi I’m not even sure how to begin. My brother Jimmy age 51 had SCA on 6/14/18. He was without oxygen for not sure how long. Neighbors did CPR until ambulance arrived. Was taken to hospital a half hour away. They did they cooling/rewarming treatment on him. He has been in CICU for 20 days now. Dr’s are so negative just want to pull the plug. His heart is strong, his CT shows some spots. Can’t do MRI yet due to neoro storming and needs to be completely still. They have had him on morphine and other drugs to control storms. How do we know if he’s going to wake up if they have him drugged up!!!!!! He also has a trach in and a feeding tube. Palliative Care Dr told my family yesterday to let them end treatment and let him pass. They’re saying is heart is severely damaged but the cardiologist says his heart is fine. Just don’t trust these dr’s. My family said absolutely not it’s too soon. Just need hope and support from others who have been through this. We have been praying so much for him to wake up.
Would love any feedback and prayers. Thank you Karen
