    About Me

    My 23 year old son went to heaven 12-25-2006. My husband had a massive stroke 3-6-2007 and is now living in a nursing home and not showing any improvements. I've been really depressed and need some advice on how to care for him at home.

      My husband Lewis (51) suffered a stroke 3-6-07. He had to have a craniectomy,they removed right side of his skull. He was in Icu for almost 6 weeks. He then had a feeding tube. He is in nursing home for rehab now and isn't making much progress. He's still paralyzed on his left side. Has some problems with his vision and cognitive problems. He's lucky to be alive.He is a cancer survivor of over 20 yrs.

    • Close Bereavement
      Type: Loss of a Child

      My 23 year old son passed away December 25,2006 after 6 weeks in Icu. He was on some medications for depression because he went blind at age 16. All his organs shut down. He lost his battle to live. I cry everyday for him. I have no answers as to why all this crap had to happen to him. He was so bright,a talented musician and just the joy of my life.

    • Open Bipolar Disorder

      My son took seroquel for over 3 years. He went blind at age 16 and attempted suicide July 4th 2006. He was then put on depakote. He was diagnosed with pancreatitis Nov 17,2006 was in Icu for 6 weeks all his organs shut down and he passed away Dec. 25, 2006. Please be careful and go for ALL your blood screenings while on certain meds than affect some people different than others. All I'm saying is please be careful.
