Friends son is hanging to life by a thread

[countrygirl]

I don't want to go into detail in case anyone on here knows them but we have been friends for 28 yrs and our sons are same age. Her son was wrongly diagnosed with swine flu ( he had pluerisy and pneumonia) and has been in hosptial in coma on ventilater for past week and things are as bad as they get without doing into details.

I just needed to talk to someone - I can't help my friend as only thing she wants is her son to get better. don't really know what I am asking for here but so upset and helpless for her.

[Emira7]

Hey

how upsetting for you, are there any signs that things could improve? Your poor friends as well.

Just by being there for her to talk to is enough, and I am sure she is so greatful to have your friendship.


big hugs, and thoughts and prayers to all

xx

[countrygirl]

What an awful situation. I do hope that he recovers.

All you can do is to be there for your friend. Gently encourage her to eat, drink and sleep as she can. Hold her and cry with her.

Is there anything you can do at her home to keep things ticking over for her there until she gets back?

Please remember to take care of yourself too :hugs:

Hi Countrygirl,

My thoughts and prayers are with your friend and her son. My sister has been very ill and nearly didn't make it and prayers can work. I pray for a quick recovery and also for you to have the strength for your friend when she needs you the most right now.

Best wishes,

Laura

Just to let everyone who was kind enough to reply to my post that my friends son is now off the danger list:) He had a very high risk operation to clear out all the nasty stuff around his heart and lungs and they thought he would die after the op - His family spent 12 hrs at his bedside waiting for him to die as he went into multiple organ failure but by some miracle he then started to improve and two days ago he was brought out of his induced coma and although he is still on a ventilator with a tracheotomy he can communicate with his family by writing and is upright in bed. he obvously is not out of the woods as he has to avoid all the hospital acquired infections and will be in intensive care for the next 2 weeks at least and they still need to get him off a ventilator but the good news is that he is not now literally knocking on deaths door so carry on praying and wishing he continues to make a recovery even if it takes him months.

[gypsywomen]

great news

[ScaredCaz]

Hi

Thats a great step in the right direction we will all continue to pray

God bless x

[MOJO]

So pleased to hear this good news. I will keep praying for his continued recovery.
