My cousin has been in a medically induced coma for 3 days now. They were supposed to stop the meds that are keeping her asleep this morning to see what happens but as of now we're still waiting. I'm wondering if anyone has been through this and what was it like?
I need information please : My cousin has been in a... - ICUsteps
I need information please
I was in a coma for 57 days, it took 11 days to wake up ( still groggy). It was hell for my family & hell for me. I had no idea what had gone on, where I was or how long I had been wherever I was - even though they kept telling me, I didn’t believe them. Keep speaking to your cousin and reassure them that they are ok
My dad was in inducted coma for nearly 5 weeks.... be patient and give her some time...
My mom was put in an induced coma this past April. They stopped the meds after 2 days, but it took her 5 days to wake up somewhat, 8 fully.
Those are powerful medicines and it takes a long time for some people, especially someone who might not have taken much medicine, or drank much previously.
Be patient, talk to her, play her music she likes and massage her arms and legs, and she will slowly come out of it.
All the best!
My husband was also Intubated for 10 days in ICU, they tried to wake him after 8 days but he could not handle it, he became very stressed. They tried again two days later with success. I am sure they will re assess the situation again and let you know. I wish the best for you.
I've just been through this awful situation there is another condition that can come afther wards called intensive care delirium I hope it's not the case for your family please read up on to prepare if it's the case so your prepared hope ur all ok
