ETA: Birth-related complication ... may be upsetting to read

----------------------------------------------

My cousin had an emergency C-sxn last week for dangerously elevated BP. Her DD was born at 33+ weeks and is doing well.

My cousin had been gradually improving but today had a seizure secondary to cerebral edema (originally thought to be related to eclampsia), became unresponsive, and coded twice. She was able to be resuscitated but is still critically ill. Her prognosis is unknown.

It turns out that a hospital medication error actually caused the cerebral edema rather than eclampsia. I can't go into too much detail.

Please send lots of P&PT!!!

----------------------------------------------

UPDATE: Thanks to everyone for your support!

My cousin is still in a coma, and her prognosis is uncertain. The doctors will know more once the rest of the cerebral edema subsides.

Continued P&PT much appreciated!

----------------------------------------------

UPDATE #2: Prognosis not good ... my cousin is still in a coma and has suffered very significant brain injury due to the medication error. She has 3 young children and a loving husband. Our family is understandably devastated.

Please continue your P&PT!!!

Thanks!

-----------------------------------------------

UPDATE #3: My cousin has made some progress since my last update. She is able to open her eyes, move her legs and fingers, and follow very basic commands. The long term prognosis is still unknown, but at this point any progress is a step in the right direction.

Please keep the P&PT coming!!! Thanks!

Hoping for a full recovery for her. My own cousin has a close friend that was in a horrible car accident in February, a coma, unresponsive, etc. He has made a miraculous recovery though, and just returned to school. Miracles can happen!
