Location: NOT at Wal Mart | Bibliafarm - 2014-01-06 8:14 PM why did she go into cardic arrest and what does a hamburger have to do with it ? after surgery they fed her when she shouldnt have solids yet..or before her surgery when she wasnt allowed to eat? do they know why she went into cardiac arrest?
She had a bleed out, for the life of me I don't understand why they didn't transfuse and get her back to the OR. It will all come out....

People are usually sitting up on a general floor after a tonsillectomy. Major hemorrhage after this operation is very rare, but when it does happen, it can be pretty massive and usually comes from a major branch of the external carotid artery. You don't have a whole lot of time to even get type-specific blood, or even O-neg. It has to be recognized, and the patient has to be taken back to the OR pronto if it's brisk enough. Usually you recognize right away what's happening and there usually isn't any doubt as to what needs to be done. I don't know any specifics about this girl. |

It wasn't just a tonsillectomy though. It was three procedures for sleep apnea. It wasn't a normal surgery for a 13 year old girl to have. |

Karlaw - 2014-01-06 4:28 PM i really hope for a miracle on this one, what if something happened and she was able to wake up, i know its not likely but after the initial hospital refused to care for her I just wish that once a miracle would happen, her poor family.
We were told my cousin was brain dead a few years ago after being shot in the head. Just saw him in September and had a beer with him. Granted he is in a wheel chair, but he is not brain dead. I don't think his motor skills will ever be what they once were, but he is still making progress here and there. He actually has a little girl that should be close to turning 1 now.
Miracles do happen.
well i definitely wont question your story or ask to see medical records, i believe miracles do happen, Im glad your cousin is ok. I just hope that the parents find the peace they are looking for through all of this. |
