Oh I am sorry about your wife. I think that the doctors will come to you and tell you if they feel there is no more they can do. They wont just put her to sleep and let her die. If there is hope for her and things they can do to help her, then they will do that I am sure. Seems at the moment from what you said, they are still able to treat her medically. Sometimes as they fix one thing, something else goes wrong and it seems hopeless at times. Whilst she is weak her body will take longer to fight off infections and sometimes the kidneys can be the last organ to start working one their own again. I hope that she continues to improve, but just try to take it one day at a time because trying to look to the future will drive you crazy. Thinking of you and sending positive thoughts.

I had many of your wife’s conditions. My family went through the horrible emotional rollercoaster that you have embarked upon.

Much of the information they received, day by day, was contradictory and did nothing for their peace of mind. I reflect that I was in the best possible place to survive & I was treated brilliantly in ICU.

I wish your family all the best fortune over the next few weeks.
