Got a call today from my husband’s workplace. He collapsed, was given CPR and rushed to the hospital. Docs say he had a heart attack (he’s 47) and hes now in CCU pending a CAT scan. He’s unconscious and on a ventilator.
He had a cardiac arrest and possible ischemic stroke. He’s in a medical coma now, being kept cold for 24 hours. They’ll warm him up then give him an MRI.
Thanks to all of you for your support. I’ll keep you posted.
I’m glad that someone was around to help your husband get a pulse back quickly enough to make it to the hospital and get the cooling treatment. I used to work in an ICU, and I saw a few cases where the cooling treatment seemed to makes a big difference in allowing someone to recover from the neurological effects of a cardiac arrest.
I hope that things start looking up soon.
