My twenty two year old daughter has been literally clinging to life!!! First she was on a ventilator for nine days and recieving all the meds modern medicine has to offer. Then she was transported to another hospital to be hooked up to ecmo for two weeks until she came as close as a person can come to dying from bleeding complications. Now she is on some type of special ventilator with one descent lung and blood in the other, She was a normal healthy 22 year old!PLEASE if you feel sick go to your doctor and demand tamiflu the first day DO NOT WAIT! Last night a 21 year old girl who just gave birth was brought in. Her granfather told me she has already had cardiac arrest once and both of her lungs have collapsed. They are hooking her up to ecmo, God willing they both will beat this!!!!!!!!!!! I repeat you do not know how this will affect you!!!!!!!!!! They tell you to go when it is already too late! once you have shortness of breath you end up on a ventilator!!!! Pneumonia and then ards!!
