Friend dying.. don't know what to do

First of all Welcome Pat and I'm glad you've found us at HealingWell.

This is a very serious condition that your friend seems to be in and I'm not really in a position to answer all your questions.  First of all is this coma, medically produced?~to keep her asleep?  Or is this a natural coma that occurred due to the massive heart attack.  That may seem like a silly question, but sometimes Dr.'s do medicate their patients in these circumstances for other reasons to keep them quiet and asleep for healing purposes.

If they needed to, there would be other tests that they could run.  Do you have family members of hers that are there that are willing to speak to you about this?  Have you, yourself spoken to any of the hospital staff re her condition?

I know this must be one of the hardest situations that you've ever found yourself in and I am so very sorry for that.  My best wishes to you, your friend and her family!  Please keep in touch with us and I'll do the best I can to offer some assistance.

Teri

Hello Pat. Your friend is seriously ill and her body is doing what it can to help her to repair. That is why she is in a coma, her body has shut down what it does not need and is concentrating on repairing the damage to her heart. God willing as she becomes stronger she will eventually come out of her coma and rebuild her life. She has had a very serious heart attack and we can only pray that she is able with the help of God and her doctors to pull through. I join with everybody here in prayer for your dear friend and I pray that she pulls through her ordeal. I can tell you that this is not an isolated kind of incident, it does happen and it would be unkind to tell you that every case survives. However with the treatments now availabe to doctors she has a great chance of getting through this. Be there for her and when you are with her talk to her and encourage her to fight. You will be surprised how this can and does help people who are in a coma. As I have said the body is a strange instrument and it does what it feels it must to preserve itself, the attack was a large one and her body has gone in shut down and is busy at this moment fighting to make repairs . While she is in a coma and shut down the body can concentrate on the healing process, just be there as I said and tell her you are with her.

God bless you and I will pray for your friend,

Gordon and Michelle

Just tune into the Archers on the BBC radio 4 and just listen :- Sorry no news until I have had the chance to catch up with the serial.

Pat, I hope your friend is doing better!! You take care, too.
