sad news--wife had stroke

Sadly, my wife of many years, who was already in poor health, just had a massive stroke. I sit with her in the hospital, but she does not wake up or respond, 8 days in now. Need hope...not knowing is so difficult. Thank you.

so sorry, have they given you any word about prognosis?

@samueltyler2 Not yet--still say it is too early to know, although it is 8 days now and not awake at all or responses.

@Docdon23 is she breathing on her own?

@samueltyler2 no--she is on a ventilator

@Docdon23 is she triggering the ventilator, have you had that discussion with the staff?
