mom in ICU- Bacterial Meningitis

[BBBB2024]

she had an several days and then woke up at 3 am saying that her felt like going to explode so her husband took her into the hospital. From there she waited eight hours until she was seen at which point she had collapsed and was thrashing around. They administered the antibiotics right now they are a little bit more focused as identified this specific species she has been order to allow for the agitation to subside and the antibiotics to be able to do what they need to do. It’s four days that she’s been sedated and using a breathing tube to breathe and being fed through a tube the doctor said that we are slowly moving in the right direction but I can’t help but think that she shouldn’t be sedated for very much longer but every time she kind of wakes up she tries to sit up and do stuff that they’re calling agitation and then they’re putting her back with sedatives in order for her body to heal, I guess. but I feel like I need to fight for her to be less sedated so that she doesn’t start to rely on the breathing machine, et cetera. Would love to hear some stories or to be patient and also encouragement that they are in right thing with the antibiotics. Also any kind of timeline has to when she might be able to be conscious.
