He was taken into the E.R. with no known medical conditions. When he arrived he had a blood sugar level of 2133.Yes,I know that sounds impossible but it is true.His pancreas gave out,which led all the bad toxins to destroy 2.5 feet of his intestine,not to mention his kidneys failed.It has been one week today that he had the surgery. He has finally had the breathing tube removed and can talk.all he talks about is how we need to be there to see him asap because we will never see him again.i dont know if he is giving up or just being a 'bad, miserable' patient.obviously he has gone through a lot and is very lucky to be alive.all my friends and family are asking me if his chances are good,and i dont know what to say.i have no clue and am not being told much by the dr's and nurses.my mom lost her first husband to cancer (my real father), her middle son to a heart condition at age 4,and if she loses him, i dont know what will happen.has anyone heard of cases like this w/survivors?
