mom has been intubated for 2 weeks almost

[Ashleylk91]

hi guys. My mom is 58 years old and has been intubated for 13 days after a colon resection. She had diverticulitis and was severely malnourished and weak which is what they think started all this. Since being intubated almost two weeks ago she quit moving or doing anything. She had emergency surgery a week ago and after that her pupils were unequal. They did a CT and it came back negative of any issues. They have turned off sedation for a day at a time but then have to start fentanyl back up for some reason of sorts. Whenever she’s off sedation she follows you with her eyes and looks at you when you call her name and will look at whatever you are showing her, also stares at the phone when I have someone on FaceTime. Her pupils also respond to light. I’m pretty sure she sees me and knows I’m there but I’m so scared. She won’t follow commands or move her body AT ALL! does anyone have any advice or hope in this situation? The doctors say they don’t where she’s at neurologically and/or if she’ll be bed bound. We’re supposed to get a trach put in in 2 days.
