too upset to speak - RIP Cody

[Miss Daisy]

hey everyone..

I just heard from my grandmother that my cousin Cody, who I grew up with and was very close to, went into the hospital last night in a diabetic coma. The doctors gave him an hour to live. I don't even know if he's still alive.

He has a DNR, so he can't even fight this time and it's not fair. He's only 21. He's been through this before a few years ago and had two heart attacks while in the coma. We didn't think he was going to make it.

He's all the way across the US.. he's in Alaska, I'm in Vermont. I'm so upset right now.. I don't even know if he's still alive and there's nothing I can do about any of it. I feel helpless and emotionally drained. I can't stop crying. My boyfriend is at work and nobody else is home. All I can do is sit here and be upset, and I hate it.

*Hugs Miss Daisy*

I'm so sorry Miss Daisy. I can't imagine what you're going through =(

I'm so sorry

All you can do at a time like this is pray for his safe return home, and that he pulls through. I give you and all your family my best wishes and I'll keep my fingers crossed for him.

My thoughts are with you.
How about calling your boyfriend, i'm sure his wotk will understand

[Miss Daisy]

thank you everyone.. I'm just trying to calm down right now. Every time I scroll past his cell number in my phone it breaks me right back down.

ASE - I already left him a message but his phone has to be off at work. He wont get it until he takes a break so I'm just waiting.

Awh, I'm sorry. I couldn't imagine how hard that is for you.

I'll keep you in my thoughts and hope things get better for you.

Sorry to hear this

Is there any family in Alaska you could call? Other family members that might not be at the hospital right now? Even calling the hospital and asking to speak to one of your family members with him there?

[Miss Daisy]

I'm not really that close with my family.. back in 06 we had a lot of problems and my mom left me homeless to move in with my cousin's dad - I haven't spoke much to them since.

I've called the family members who's numbers I have, and nobody's answering. All I know right now is that last night they took him off life support and at 2AM my uncle left to go home - he says that when he left it looked like he was going to pull through, but this is exactly what happened last time. He'd get better one hour, then the next hour the doctors would come in and have more bad news. At 20 years old, he's already had two heart attacks.

I'm trying to be optimistic in the news that last time anyone heard, he was doing a little better but still in the coma. But it's hard thinking that tonight I could get a call saying he's gone.

News when you are half way across the country is difficult to deal with. I'm sorry that you are and have nobody to console you.

Stay in your forums or here to help keep you occupied until your boyfriend comes home or you hear some news ( hopefully good)

Keep us posted.

I'm so terribly sorry, Miss Daisy. I hope everything turns out okay. My thoughts are with you and your family.

I am sorry to hear your situation. Please keep us informed and know that we are all here for you. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. I hope you hear something good.

Sorry to hear that, Miss Daisy.

Sometimes just talking about it can help you deal with something you have no control over and when you can't be there. We are here for you.

[Unknown]

Sorry to hear it.

If you can call one of your friends, or anyone close to you that you can talk to, to come over ASAP, it will help. A lot better to have a shoulder to cry on

[Dumezil]

I really hope he pulls through again.
Something like this would be amazingly difficult to deal with, especially alone. Like someone said, try calling your friends or something so you don't have to be alone.
