Guest guest Posted September 7, 2004 Report Share Posted September 7, 2004 Hi everyone, Thanks for your prayers and information about comas. Denielle's doctor's were smiling yesterday and pleased with her progress. She has never been conscious since the accident almost 2 weeks ago, but apparently the coma was medically induced. They feel she is healing while in the coma. I had thought they were trying to get her out of the coma when I wrote before. Apparently they had planned to try to get her to come out of the coma by that time, but didn't because there was too much pressure around the brain and she was too unstable. They say she is stable now but in critical condition and on life support. They plan to do a tracheotomy today and an MRI tomorrow and then try to get he to come out of the coma if she is still stable. A few days ago they said that she had pneumonia. Last night they said this is improving. I printed the posts from everyone and gave them to her parents so they have many options to consider if she does not come out of the coma when they stop the drugs. Thanks again for your help.
