What are the chances for her?!
Question: My grandma is in her 70s, she has lymes disease, ulcers, and she has a colostomy bag. She is now in the hospital on life support (ventilator) because she isn't really breathing on her own. She has been sleeping for over 20 hours now. They say the reason for it all is she overdosed on Tylenol PM over a time period. So that makes it harder to be able to do anything of coarse because it's all through her system instead of just the stomach. They are not sure how much damage it's done to the liver yet neither, they say they won't know that for a couple more days. Also today they had to put a tube through her chest. So does anyone know what her chances are to getting off the breathing machine? And if she will make it? (I'm not asking for a time period or anything just if you think she will come out of it really)

Well for starters i think she was feeling so crummy about her life that she tried to ease her pain with the Tylenol PM. It probably gave her a numb feeling so it felt good. The chances of her coming off the breathing machine are not good but if they keep her alive long enough then she will be able to see your child and maybe when it is her real time to go she will pass away happy.
The poor lady has not much going for her does she? It sounds as though she might have more wrong than what you
said and the tylenol pm . Time will tell, but only 50% get off
the ventilator once they are on it. Just do some prayer giving
and I will also for her. Since she is still paining with the death of her mother I can't tell you whether she will rally back or not!!!
