Vanity: Please Pray for My Cousin - Medically Induced Coma from Brain Bleed
Life ^ | 08/01/15 | Self

Posted on 08/01/2015 7:18:14 PM PDT by Yaelle

I thank you in advance for sending up a prayer for my cousin. On his vacation with his wife, he fell in the night in his hotel room (not from his bed, not in the bathroom) and was unconscious when his wife, awakening from sleep, heard the thud of his fall. He was rushed to the hospital where they found way too much blood in the brain to operate. They have him now in a medical coma and it has been several days.

He now has an infection in his lungs and blood that they are treating with antibiotics. He is in his 50s and was in great shape. The whole family is just beside ourselves.

Also if anyone has experience with these things please feel free to share on the thread as well. I have asked if the docs think it was an aneurysm because I don't understand how a fall in a carpeted hotel room could cause that much of a bleed. In a middle aged fit man who had not been drinking or anything - who falls that hard?

Thank you for your prayers for him.

Prayers for your cousin, and for you and your family. Could the brain bleed possibly be from a hemorrhagic stroke, not the fall? This happened to Mr. Inspectorette two years ago. I nearly lost him, but thank God he did recover,  albeit with some permanent damage . I’m just grateful to have him.

Prayers going up for your cousin.

My husband had a bleed in his brain back in 2001. He was paralyzed on his left side and in rehab for a month. He eventually got quite a bit better, but never full capacity. Now he is getting where he is having a hard time walking again.

It sounds like your cousin has had a much worse bleed if he is coma induced.
