Need help/advice: Dad sedated in the hospital on ventilator extremely agitated

[Thinker]

I am so sorry for your loss. This can indeed be a very unpredictable and serious disease, as unfortunately we are reminded of quite often on this message board. We will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

So sorry to hear about your Dad.

I am shocked to hear of the sudden loss of your father. I am very sorry, and my heart goes out to you and your entire family, and everyone else who knew and loved him. If only he could have been helped before this happened. You really put out a mighty effort to understand and make sense of what was going on with him. My thoughts will be with you now as you adjust to this loss.

Absolutely. We have candles on the map for people we knew well and for those we had just started to become familiar with. Your dad counts as much as anyone and we'd be proud to have his candle on our map. There was just recently a post from vdub reminding people about the map. You might want to touch base with him on this, and I'm sure he'd be glad to hear from you. And check out the map link in blue at top of page.

Okay that would be very nice. I will get in contact with him

What a horrible tragedy and shock to the family! My condolences to your family. It seems many of the deaths reported here from GPA happened rather suddenly and unexpectedly and they are usually a shock to everyone even when there has been a long decline in health. I think we all share a sense of loss whenever we lose another member from here.

Rosebud,
I am very sorry for your loss and will be praying for you and your family.

Thank you. It just does not make sense that his body was recovering so well for four weeks with what they were giving him and in a matter of hours he could have a flare up so bad that even with the ventilator at 100% and with the continuous dialysis they were doing, it was not enough. I guess I will never understand. I hope they find a cure soon.
