[QUOTE="donna723, post: 145117, member: 1883"] Carolanne, I hope you can get in to see her soon. And I hope the hospital staff are watching the boyfriend [I]very[/I] closely! Believe me, I [U]DO[/U] know what you're going through because three years ago my son did the same thing. He took an overdose of prescription medications after his goofy wife of [I]three weeks[/I] decided she wanted to run off with another guy! He was unconscious and on a ventilator from Monday through that Friday - they were giving him medications to keep him under and on the ventilator until the slight pneumonia he came down with had cleared up. The goofy "wife" and her whole goofy family were there at the hospital. My daughter who is a nurse herself and her husband drove here from S. Carolina and were there at the hospital with me. And bless them, the hospital staff picked up on the situation perfectly and understood completely! Legally, the "wife" should have been the one to make any decisions, the one they talked to, but they just kind of ignored her and talked mainly either to me, my daughter, or sister in law. Luckily (for her!), she didn't push it. We asked them to please not discuss anything important about his condition unless one of the three of us was present, and they didn't. They just kind of went around her the whole time and dealt with us. "Legal" or not, they knew the score and did what was right. And if you can just get your foot in the door of that hospital, I'll bet you that the staff will do that with you too, especially since boyfriend has apparently been behaving strangely and making a horse's patoot out of himself. If he gets too far out of line, they can ban him completely. I hope that you get to see her soon. I will keep your family in my thoughts and my prayers. [/QUOTE]
