GreenDragon,
How is everyone? 38 is scary low. Been thinking about you all.

Hoping for good news.

Pretty scary. I hope it works out OK...

Quick update: She's been improving daily. She still hasn't woken up but has been moving around more. When her husband speaks to her, her brain waves go crazy. All good signs.

You and your family have your kilted breathren from around the world sending good thoughts your way. How she not improve?

Thanks again, everybody.

MRI results came back yesterday and indicate she has permanet irreversible brain damage. She'll need intense rehab to relearn how to walk, talk and everything else. Her doctor thinks 3-6 months and she can come home. Could be longer.

Oh. All I can think of is get folks outside for a walk where it's sunny and warm to remind them that they are still well. End of life often has bumps, but that one was more like a cliff. Most sorry to hear it.

They can perform wonders with rehab these days. Best thoughts to her and to you and your family.

Green Dragon....I simpathize with you. My wife is a diabetic and keeps her sugar levels as close to 100 as she can. You may have seen the posting where I said she had broken her arm. She has diabetic neuropathy which causes the signals from the brain to get to the heart slowly. When she stands up, she faints and falls. Luckily, she did it in the hospital when the docs were there. Being 60 years old doesn't help matters either. I really feel for people that have diabetes. It affects the body in so many different ways. Learn all you can and keep on the doctors. My wifes doc likes having a patient that keeps him on his toes. Every time she goes to see him, she has a list of questions. he always leaves extra time for the appointment.

She spends a lot of time doing research about what is going on. Good luck.

I apologize I didn't get to reply to your post before.

How is your wife doing now?

My mother inlaw also has neuropathy. Unfortuntely, her diabetes has been out of control for a very long time, high and low then high again then dangerously low at times.
