In a coma

[msmarib]

My cousin is in a medically induced coma. He is not expected to make it. Would you pray for his mother who just had surgery Tuesday, and his siblings, as they make the decision of what to do next?
His symptoms:
Kidney failure which is being treated by dialysis
Liver failure and jaundice
Stomach not working which has him on a tube
Severe edema
Blood not clotting so they can't drain the fluids
Pneumonia; he can't breathe on his own so he's on a ventilator and they've sedated him (medically induced coma)
Cellulitis which has become sepsis; he has a blood infection
High blood pressure which is being treated with meds
His heart is working very hard
I heard the nurse mention Hep B to someone and MRSA is on the board in his room.

My aunt is in her 70's and is recovering from hip replacement; she'll be flying in later this week to make final arrangements. It's a very difficult time for our family.

My cousin died on Friday aftenoon. He was in the hospital for 15 days. He woke up from the coma, was able to speak, told us to take him out of the hospital, and suffered total organ failure. He was able to see his mother, my aunt. I was on my way to the hospital to see him, had stopped at my dad's house to have him watch the baby for an hour, and got the call from my aunt, his mother, that he died.
Thank you for your prayers. Tomorrow, we'll be making final arrangements for his rememberance.
