Jakeb Brackin, age 24, went to bed Sun. ,March 20, & basically never woke up, except into a catatonic state. Over the last week and a half, he has appeared to go in & out of consciousness. He barely speaks & has had nothing to eat or drink in 10 or 11 days. He can not or will not turn his head or body to the right. He does not make eye contact. In his lucid times, he seems to still think it is Sunday. He has no memory of what has happened during the times when he has been "Out."
Doctors & nurses are perplexed. They have never seen anything like this. Toxicology, MRI, EEG, blood work, etc. are all clear. His vitals are all good. He has been in & out of a catatonic state, had some seizures, & thankfully with some new treatment is slowly starting to pull out. It is possibly a rare reaction to a medication he had just started.
He has had antibiotics, antivirals, nutrition, oxygen, a catheter, & has starting a regimen of medicine that seems to be helping him wake up & talk slightly. He still will not eat or even take a sip of water.
Jakeb had just lost his job & the medical bills are piling up quickly. We have no time frame as to when he will even be well enough to leave the hospital. The doctor has been trying to get him moved to a larger facility with specialists, to no avail.
Please consider helping him in his time of need, as his body fights to become well. Please share this with anyone you know who may feel led to help him. Every gift, no matter how small is appreciated.
