My close friend is now nearly off sedation and breathing on his own at last. Dr's have told us that this is good progress and when the sedation is completely lifted, to wean him off life support.

He hasn't woken up yet

that’s good news. Don’t forget that it may still be awhile while they wake up.

Not what you're looking for?
