Hemorrhagic Stroke - an update
They fitted a
tracheostomy
after he regained consciousness to give him more independence. He is now in a rehabilitation clinic since mid-December - where he began to engage more and more with his therapies. We are now 3 months since his stroke and he continues to make progress.

Desperately trying to understand my mums death
She received little to any
tracheostomy
care in the community, and she started to struggle with granulation and mid July she was admitted for early decannulation. They decannulated on July 25th, she was discharged July 26th and unfortunately she suffered a repeat event on July 27th.

Hi everybody! A few words and questions
Hi guys, I have been a member of this forum group since last month, and although this is my first post, I read the posts and responses on here often. I was discharged from Aintree hospital on November 28 this year, after being in hospital for 3 and a half months. I was first admitted to Oldham Royal

They keep trying to wake him up but he keeps getting delirium and confused so they tried a different medication (not sure if it’s name) to try and subside the confusion but unfortunately it hasn’t been successful, there are now talks about putting a
tracheostomy
in as WE STILL DO NOT KNOW THE DAMAGE

Coma for a month
He had a
tracheostomy
for weeks. Good thing he is showing little movements of arms and legs but still in coma. It was hard not to be with him to take care of him. He is in Scotland and I am here in the Philippines. But keeping my faith that he will recover anytime soon. 😘

lung cancer - please help
She has had a ct scan & a
tracheostomy
and the cancer has been confirmed. We are awaiting a pet scan. Despite saying initially that they could only see a small growth on her left lung from the CT they’ve now said they can see a few spots on her liver. They have also mentioned T4 & N0.
