My brother in law is in the icu with TTP brought on by his new use of plavex after a minor heart attack 2 weeks ago. He also has hepatitis from previous drug use. Right now his liver and kidneys have shut down and he is on dialysis. After that they are going to do a plasma treatment. Whats the usual prognosis? We are thinking of heading down this weekend to see him. The stats I found by googling are mixed. I'm just looking for some real life situations so I can guage just how fast we should get there.

 

Thanks again- looks like I am going to be an expert in crisis homeschooling.
