Currently my mom is the ICU on a ventilator because she went back to the hospital for her blood sugar being low and every since then the doctors have been telling us she hasn't been getting any better and I been nothing but crying and praying to god that my mom will get through this and she be able to come home happy and healthy and I found this forum because I need some prayers and some reassurance that everything will be ok
Listen to what her doctors are saying. They may keep questions open ended. You might ask the doctor if they would be surprised if she will be around a year from now.
You are quite young to make decisions for her compared to someone who is much older. It is much harder on your emotions because you hope she fully recovers. Are you the only person who can direct her care or is a husband or sibling involved as well?
Anthony, can you tell me how old Mom is?
Can you tell me how long she has been ill with diabetes and if this happened suddenly for her?
Does mom have other underlying issues other than diabetes?
I cannot tell what happened here and wonder if you can give us a brief snapshot of what happened the day your mom entered care. Was she at home, in coma, or just ill?
I am so dreadfully sorry that your mom is on the ventilator. It sounds as though the doctors are telling you that other systems are failing. Diabetes is so notorious for being hard on all our most vital systems, and when one system fails it sometimes seems like dominos with kidneys followed by lungs followed by heart and just a terrible toll on the body.
It sounds as though the doctors are doing everything they can. Can you tell me a little about your support system in terms of family? Were you still living at home with Mom? Are here husband, sisters, brothers there for you now?
I wish you so much luck here. It sounds like Mom is getting good care with everyone trying, but it does sound as though doctors are not seeing the progress they are working for, and that they are trying to warn you that all may not be well.
I hope you will keep us updated.
We can say from our own experiences that YOU will eventually be ok.
How old is your mom? It’s really hard to come off a ventilator.
Please stay here and keep us updated. HUGS.
You need to except what the doctors are telling you. They are there to keep people alive so when they say that she is not getting better thats like saying they have done and will do as much as they can for her.
We are lay people. We can only answer from experience not as health professionals. Kidneys and the liver are important to the body and we cannot live without them. You may want to ask the doctor to explain to you what is going on. I think you need to ready yourself for the worst. If Mom turns around, than you can thank god for answering ur prayers.
We can't tell you that your mom won't die. She will, eventually, as will everyone. When you are praying for her recovery, ask God for strength and comfort no matter what the outcome.
I hope that her passing, whenever it comes, is peaceful, and that you'll get all the help ands support you need.
Heart hopefully waiting, beats,
with love until still.
