I'm sorry too. Third is the real deadly one when the individual's heart is weakened by the previous ones.

Nice to hear he's stabilized. I once witnessed a man die in front of me from a heart attack. It was my basketball coach years ago, it happened while we were having a training session. I will never forget that moment. I can only hope you didn't have to watch your grandfather have a heart attack in front of you.

This could help him to get "back to reality" from his unconsciousness. His blood pressure is also stabilizing and doctor said they were able to change his position without complications. His body stopped shivering too. The biggest new is that his unconditioned reflexes are working pretty well now. When my hair tickled his arm, goosebumps were forming all over it. I'm happy, he's slowly comming back to life.
Thank God. I wish your grandpa a good recovery. Godspeed!

Nah, it happened quite far away from me. Then all of sudden I had a call about about it and immediately went to a place when he was hospitalised. I didn't get to see him there, but after the transport to the bigger hospital I finally saw him with tubes all around him. That moment was really depressing and I couldn't really hold a tear. Now I'm happy that he's getting better and better everyday.
That had to be psycho to watch a person die in front of you. I'm glad I didn't have to go through this. I'm sorry.
My grandma suffered a heart attack a few months ago, and she recovered thank god. I've lost people to alcohol, my girlfriend 7 years ago to suicide where she bled out in my arms and died right there, and animals to assorted forms of cancer and epilepsia, but ill be damned if I would let another person be cut down by such an event. If you hold on to the thought that he will be alright, and reflect it to him, even though he may not notice it consciously, maybe you transfer some of that positive energy into him, and it will help a lot in his fight. Stay strong Diana, and he will recover
This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

I'm really sorry! God, I can't imagine me dying in my Bf's hands. :'(. I wish you no more suffering!
Update 4: Another visit have brought more news. Just when I came, his blood pressure raised. Doctor said it's a reaction on my presence and it happens always when a family member visits him. He gets antibiotics to prevent getting pneumonia (90% of the patients gets it while attached to the vent) and medicine to stabilize the blood pressure. The medicine is also less and less needed thanks to the pressure made by his heart itself. On the other side, he's going through a septic shock after the cardiogenic one. I'm looking forward to see him healthy and conscious again. However, as I mentioned, he's not out of the woods just yet.
Update 5: A big new. He breathes now by himself! Although not perfectly, he sometimes needs vent to help him. Just a little practice for the lungs and he won't need the vent anymore. The bigger problem is the septic shock that remains. Nothing is ensured just yet, he needs to fight.
Update 6: I'm done... He has a swelling on a brain caused by the resuscitation and is bleeding into his cerebellum. I hoped, I believed hard and even prayed for his good evry single day 24/7. Now this sh*t happens. This is just intense.
