I really can'tbelieve that the parents would be staying round the clock at the hospital. Even the best parents will take turns. My best friends baby boy was born with a liver disfunction. He has had to have 2 liver transplants.
She and her hubby have taken turns at the hospital. Even when he was critically ill and her hubby had to work in another town.she would goto ronald macdonald to rest a little and shower and eat. Noone can be there round the clock day after day. I'd bet ya they took turns.
I hear ya. I had a 26 wk premie under 2#
but when it's a traumatic brain injury that required
CPR and your child needs a respiartor to breathe, the child
you have had for 6 years who was full of life and all so sudden.
Dina is a DR/PhD she knew he might not make it.
I'm sure there was tremendous swelling in the brain.
Also there are other signs that someone is VERY LIKELY to
never recover. Like pupils that are fixed and dilated,
and do not respond to light. No gag reflex or plantar reflexes
