She has had 4 back surgeries, has type 1 diabeties and hypertension which are well under control, and anxiety. But nothing that would cause this. She is on xanax for anxiety, morphine for pain, high blood preasure meds, antidepresants, and diabetes meds.
She got a real bad bout of diarrhea and stomach cramping (possibly from a stomach bug) for 5 days. She couldn't eat or drink much, and got extremely dehydrated. This caused her kidneys to begin to shut down. As they did (because we didn't know it was happening), she continued to take her regular doses of medication, which the kidneys couldn't process completely causing an unsafe level of meds in her system (over doseing if you will). The metformin for her diabetes in particular is hard on failing kidneys, and she became toxic. Her breathing became shallow and caused her C02 levels to rise and O2 levels to drop. And the dehydration caused her blood preasure to go down, and with the increase blood levels of her blood preasure meds forced it down further. Her brain wasn't getting enough blood, and couldn't function properly.

Yikes! Good thing she got to the hospital.
I hope she recovers real soon so she can go home.

RStar!! I hope her recovery is fast, though I know that the kidneys can often be the last thing to rebound from such a thing... Intubated... /sigh... This is rough, you'll have to try and do what you can to keep your spirits up right now.
Lots of love and light to you two right now. Stay strong.

I'm usually quite strong. But I have to say that I have never been so scared in my life as I am right now. The next couple of days will be the determining factor.
Thank you all for your support. It really helps.

Very scary, indeed, RStar- toes and fingers crossed, all viable mojos and vibes have been activated. A quick ((((hug)))), and they are on their way!
