Folks, if you could say a prayer for my uncle who is at http://www.stanthonynorth.org/ trying to come out of his coma (heart attack a few days ago) that would be much much appreciated and severely needed... docs are seriously concerned about the state of his brain function... atm they are taking him off the breathing machine to see if he can start breathing on his own with sedation. The first time they took him off, he only lasted for 30 mins... Sad

So sorry to hear.
Odd they would keep him on sedation.
You figure they would have a "bag of tricks" using common sense like trying it OFF sedation.
Then trying some kind of stimulation combination of physical and sensory.
And last jolt or two in different areas with the defibrillator.

he's a fighter!! when he wasn't sedated he started moving too much... I know him... if he's not restrained, and he wakes up, he's gonna rip everything out and try to walk out of there...

they cooled his body down when they got him to hospital to try to protect brain tissue. then they warmed him up after clearing out his clogs...

Great to hear.
That's more than half the battle!
