Sorry to read this Brian, prayers sent to you and the family.
Was at ER this morning at 445am with the wife. Thought it was her appendix, not so thankfully, but got home at 2pm, wiped out. Hope this makes sense.
Best news I have heard all day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Thanks for all the prayers and good thoughts. Positive thinking helps. I appreciate it.
This board is the best.
I went by the hospital first thing before work this morning hoping to be alone with him and I wasn't, but at least peeps left and let me have some time with him.
Wouldn't you know, they were prepping him to do an EEG and he woke up from peeps touching him but when the nurse asked him if he was ok he shook his head, kinda made me sad. I guess ill worry about that later.
Vitals are good, the doctor wasn't available to talk to but the nurse said that him being awake, cognizant and responding to stimuli and commands is a good thing.
Just wild....kinda reminds me of the movie Flatliners.

Thanks for the kind words peeps.
I just got back. He is just like I had dreaded, just laying there unresponsive. It is suspected that he took all the welbutrin he had(as many as 30 pills) that he is supposed to be taking. It sounded like the hospital is testing to see if that is what he took before they can take reactive measures. I didn't listen to much of that, in my mind, whatever happened wasn't an accident. The whole deal just makes me sad, he is a grown ass man and has any help that he could need. He just doesn't want it. What do you do?
My dad said he reacts to pinching and is having some REM but I witnessed nothing. I gave my baby brother a hug as best as I could, a kiss on the forehead, and told him I loved him no matter what.
Not much else I could do.
We will see what happens.
GodSpeed little bro.
Wow, fantastic news, hopefully there will be a full recovery and the wake up call he needs to get help.
On a second note, I'd be pissed at whomever from the hospital said that there was no brain activity. Sure put you through a roller coaster ride of emotion.
Unconscious, unresponsive is a far cry from no brain activity.
Waiting on my sister to get here, she just boarded her second flight.
Yesterday the nurses were able to remove his breathing tube and my brother was able to breathe on his own and talk a little.
My feeling yesterday was confirmed, that little fucker told the nurse, "I should have killed myself years ago."
My sister was telling me stories and times of them growing up, right now I am feeling like I failed my two younger siblings.
I am not getting much from home either, my wife is acting like shedontgiveafuck, at all. It isn't her brother, I get it, but damn woman, really? Can you make it any less obvious?
Tonight is my youngests 4th birthday and she wants a Ninja turtle bike.

... no one to blame here but himself.
It's a tough situation all the way around.
The 4 year old with the new Ninja Turtle bike is what will get you through anything.:thumbsup
My younger brother just called me and said the hospital says there is no brain function at this time.
What a shitty day in the wsuwrhr household.
My little brother.
What a heartache.
