new here and not good news

[Guest guest]

I had asked to join this group to find out everything I can about IPF.

My husband was recently diagnosed. There has been a dramatic change in

our situation.

My husband was going to have a VATS to confirm the IPF diagnosis and

gather information. He was in the hospital for 4 days and was doing

well. Today he didn't feel well but went to work and as soon as we got

there he wasn't feeling well. He did not respond when I talked to him

and I asked him if he was okay and he shook his head no.

I called the ambulance and they came quickly. He coded and they got

his heart started again. He coded again in the ER. He his

unresponsive and was having seizures. This is an indication of brain

damage usually. I think I have lost him. They say we need to wait.

Not ready for this. We only had the three weeks of medical concerns.

Just thought I would let you know.
