Now how is she ?????
I also had a cardiac arrest. It took them 16 minutes to revive me. I was diagnosed with lance Adam’s syndrome. I was in two different inpatient rehab facilities. It was over a year before I came home and then started outpatient rehab and been 3 years I’m still in rehab but I’m still very disabled. It happened when Covid-19 first came out. And after my second infection. 5 days later. I dropped dead of cardiac arrest. I was 58 in great health. I walked an hour every day. And lifting weights 6 days a. Week. I owned my own construction company for 30 years and was very active every day. Now I sit in my chair from 6 AM till 9 PM watching TV every day. This is my life for the last three years.
on 3 june 2023 my brother went unconscious
His eyes rolled back
...and doctors told us that he has a heart attack and as a result have hypoxic brain injuury...
there is no complete treatment
He was a healthy person before...
Its been 4 months now almost
initially he can only open his eyes with limited look around movement..
now
He can move his lips tongue and eyebrows a little.
And he also started to yawn..
and few times ..very few times..move his elbow,feet finger,shoulder and head a little.
When something is put in his mouth he try to chew it
Almost after a month he started breathing on his own... initially was put on a ventilator
He was initially having food through NG tube now doctors have inserted through stomach what they say as "peg tube".
He also have tracheostomy tube in the neck
Also mri scans have shown global or severe hypoxic brain injuury
He is only 33
.
