Dear anonymous,
First I would like to thank God that you were there for your husband and that you have him with you. Reading your story has given me hope and confirmed my concern regarding the hospital and it's staff were my wife was admitted after she suffered from an asthma attack and stopped breathing. The doctors at this hospital are what I would call self proclaimed gods who could care less about my wife. I know you're post was from last year but if on the outside chance you read this I could sure use your support and would love it if you would contact me via email if you feel comfortable doing so. My email address is [email protected]. While I realize you may not even read this I'm hoping that you do and I am also hoping that you feel comfortable enough to write me. My wife has only been in the hospital since Tuesday, January 13 and every time I am there, in my opinion I see improvement in her condition. However every time I leave when I return her condition has regressed and the doctors continue to give her sedatives and other medications (Ativan) to prevent seizures. The doctors won't communicate with me one neurologist went so far as to tell me that I should not examine my wife or touch her in anyway. He made this statement after I told him that I lifted my wife's eyelid. While I am with her in the hospital I have been talking to her rubbing lotion on her feet and legs and lifting her legs bending them at the knees and while doing so I recognize improvement in her condition. While I was there the other day the ventilator indicated that she was initiating 95% of all breaths taken. When I left and returned her condition had changed to the ventilator initiating every breath. While I am certainly not a neurologist I know my wife and the other night she yawned two times in a half an hour. When I told the doctor she had yawn he had the audacity to tell me that was a sign of brain damage. Whether or not that is in fact true to me I know my wife and that is not a sign of brain damage. Please forgive me for rambling on but I am at my wits and with the doctors at this hospital. Again I would like to let you know just how happy I am for you that you have your husband back and wish you all the best I believe your persistence and your prayers are the reason you still have your husband with you. God bless you and thank you so much for posting your story on the Internet.
Sincerely,
David Hellan
