MY 36 year old son had a asthma attack and his heart stopped from lack of oxgen. They resutated him.. it took 40 minutes. He was left in a comma. He was showing gag reflexes and pain reaction and was overbreathing the ventilator. . I was told they were goingto do a apnea test and then they did a blood flo test. NO apnea test was done. They told me he was brain dead on June the 14, 2013.
He was a organ donor and they were called. They told me it would be 20 to 30 hours for testing and finding matches.( it was horriffic compounded bt the fact the hospital never explained this to me before hand yet they were hounding me to take him off the ventilator the whole time)
This is what happened next 16 or so hours after they were testing him ( they even told me a few hours earlier that they found a heart receipaint) they did the apnea test and he tried to breath... they called me in and said they could not go forward under theses circumstances.. I was horrified... was he really brain dead?? ON June the 16 we took him off the ventilator and they were able to get his liver and kidneys. Now this... his death certificate says June the 14 2013 couse of death respitory failure this is wrong!! What can I do
