My aunt is in intensive care

Birmingham, Alabama

My mom had got a call from her brother last night saying that my aunt had to be rushed to the hospital because she fell ill. She is currently in intensive care hooked up to a ventilator, and her brain is bleeding?

Anyway, the doctors gave the family a grim report saying that there was nothing more that they could do for her and that she only has a few days left.

A few months ago she started having seizures, nausea, headaches etc. but she was still herself and nothing seemed serious. What is this and is there any way that it could be cured? Maybe they are overlooking other possible methods.

I'm so sorry.

If it's an aneurysm, there's nothing they can do that I know of. I wish I could help you. I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts.

Thank goodness she is doing better. The brain is so difficult to give diaganoses on. It sounds like she is in very capable hands. I wish her a speedy recovery

Dear God, my mother got a call a few minutes ago saying that my aunt has passed. I can't believe it...I just can't believe it. At first she was in a bad way but then she had gotten well and then...this happened? Nevertheless I am so grateful for the support that you all gave, thank you so very much!
