Brain Stem Bleeding

[julia5]

Hello.  My husband was diagnosed with the massive brain stem bleeding.  He's on his 13th day of being unconsious and on life support. At this moment, he has not shown any signs of alertness. His eyes move up and down and an occasional tear would come out.  The doctors give us no hope. He's only 32 years old.  If anybody has had a similar experience, please help!

I too will pray that your husband is healed and his body/brain/spine is repaired.
You don't mention it, so be sure you have 2nd, even 3rd specialist's opinions!

I recently lost an uncle who suddenly developed a bleeding cyst on the cervical spine. He survived one surgery but coded and then did very badly after a second surgery and complications and eventually passed away. He requested in his living will that he did not want any life support at the point where it was obvious where he was not going to recover, and he was in a lot of pain, so he was allowed to pass with his wife and friends surrounding him.

I hope that you have family and friends to support you during this very difficult time. My prayers to you and your family as well.
