Her mind has not been right since she woke up in ICU, Friday she was given 2 units of blood on Sunday she was having difficulty breathing. In the wee hours on Monday she fell out of bed and is now on the vent again. On Tuesday she coded and was revived and given 2 more units of blood. Today they are saying she has a low platelets and they are giving her platelets and saying they think the membranes in her lungs are leaking. All of this to ask has anyone delt with a situation like this before? The doctors and nurses act like they dont want to be honest with us. Please anyone in the medical profession just tell me what we could be looking at long term
