Hi I'm new here my father-in-law was taken to ER couple of weeks ago with some lungs issues. They cleaned his lungs, and he had to be on an oxygen mask 24/7. They were going to release him on Friday, but yesterday he went into the coma. His organs are failing, he can't urinate, they were trying to induce urination with meds , but so far no luck. My husband is devastated, and so am I. I was wondering if anyone can offer some words of encouragement, and maybe share their story, so we can understand what's happening a little bit better. Thank you in advance .

Coma and multiple organ failure due to lungs issues. Please help!
I hope your father-in-law improves soon, I went into multiple organ failure and septic shock after contracting flu and double pneumonia- they were unsure of the initial infection and were looking for legionnaires, I was put into a medically induced coma and eventually overcame this through numerous doses of different antibiotic, I was on dialysis for 7wks and had every conceivable life support system. I was then struck down with severe ARDS. 3 months later, I left ICU. Spent another month in hospital- 18 months later - I am pretty much back to normal
This is so much like my case I was taken in with suspected mumps ards and it turned out I had sepsis swine flu double phumonia collapsed lung aswell very ill in quarantine in ccu in coma I was close to giving up but I pulled thru purée foods n pipes every where I hope you made full recovery with no side effects
Hello, sorry to her about your father in law, if he can't urinate, what about Foley catheter or suggest dialysis. Keep the faith and continue to pray for him.
Thank you for your replies . My Father-in-Law passed away later that night. Please pray for him as he was a wonderful person. Me and my husband are heartbroken, it's so hard for us to accept it.
