my bad. I think yuku puts them in under what you respond to. Since she responded to Doc that's why hers were above yours. I guess she figured she'd respond to everybody in the one where she answered Doc. From Doc. Thanks for the info, Rachelle, and please give more details as you feel comfortable doing so... Give our love and best wishes to Ron. | |

Thanks Ed
I read your response earlier today and I was trying to post back to you, to no avail with the internet.
Every day there is hope and everyday there are steps back.
His surgeon's assistant and I had a long talk two days ago. He is optimistic. This is all so involved. In order to know how Ron is neurologically, he has to be able to speak.
They removed the ventilator last night...so this made me feel so good and hopeful for him. However, he might still need it they said. They said he can not be on it much longer. A trach would be next. The Dr (surgeon) removed his 4 or 5 drains from his heart today...soo that was good. Then I had to consent to a suctioing procedure where his chest cavity was reopened and hurt from the CPR. It is not healing. So, as I am trying to explain, there is so much going on. I had to consent to a main line going into his other arm because temporary lines can cause infection. They will use this for iv and feeding. They had to remove the feeding tube from his stomach due to complications. He is unable to speak, even though off the ventilator. They did a swallow test to see if they could give him a little bit of water. He failed this test. They said if they tried to give it to him that he would axsperate.
He has been responding on command, but the nurse told me today that it is inappropriate response. An example is that I put a cloth on his forehead as always and she pointed out to me that he was grimacing like I did something agonizing. He has a blank stare and his eyes are glazed. The nurse told me he is there but not there and they believe he has brain damage. I hope she is wrong. As soon as I hear from is neurologist we ill know further. Today he would squeeze my hand on command but he was acting like he just was not there, as the nurse pointed out. WIthout being able to talk, we do not know.

| WOW.
That's the most she's said in a while.
Ya know, when he was mad at her he would go days, I mean sometimes 4 or 5 days without saying one word to her.
Oh yeah, he's pissed at her no doubt. And if he's pissed, he remembers, if he remembers, he ain't that brain damaged.
Coming off the tubes and all sounds good. The rest I don't know. | |

"I have been advised he might just come out of this - fantastic." Somehow I don't think she thinks it is fantastic. Yeah I got that feeling too...She should have left when she had the chance...but she doesn't really want to leave she just wants to bitch to someone and get their sympathy...well she's not getting any from me...sympathy that is... My attorney has advised me that I don't get a dime if I leave him, so here I sit and just DAMB! Bwahahahahahaha! | |

| This makes no sense
Ron had full caridac arrest. The Dr wanted to pronounce him dead. The heart surgeon raced to operate.
Now if a Dr. wants to pronounce you dead, you're dead.
If he was dead, why did the other Dr. race to operate ???
Was he dead or wasn't he ??? Or did they keep him alive to operate ???
Was the Dr. there to operate that minute ??? How long was he dead ??? Did he come back ???
Circles. Circles that make no damn sense.
Why would you write something like that ??? | |

the Babinski reflex is one of the first things that come to mind. I couldnt think of the name of it when I wrote the above.
I think Rachelle is making up things as she sees/wants them as she goes along.
What about a living will? DNR status? I am certain the hospital got this stuff from them before the surgery. Even if they didnt have plans in place kwim? Drs wont fight over something like this. You are dead or you are not. You cant just stand around and chat about it. They didnt call it and they didnt operate so wth????? | |

I've decided she's not lying or being dishonest. I think she is just flat out stupid and doesn't listen to what is being said to her. | |

Yuppers. I think you hit it right on the head. I have to agree to a point, there is a language barrier too. Regardless, this doesn't sound good for Ron and she is soaking this for all it's worth. The "I had to give consent" crap is what bugs me. I'm ready to .....no I'm not. I'll let it be. | |
