Drummer Teenage Bottlerocket in de coma

Met spijt moet we melden dat Brandon, drummer van de punkrock Teenage Bottlerocket in de coma ligt.

Hij werd gisteren levenloos aangetroffen en werd ter plaatse gereanimeerd. In kritieke toestand werd hij naar het ziekenhuis gebracht. Onderweg stopte zijn hart opnieuw met kloppen en hij werd weer gereanimeerd.

Toen hij op de afdeling intensieve zorgen lag begaf zijn hart het voor de derde keer. Een reanimatie was weer nodig.... Momenteel 'leeft' Brandon nog maar hij wordt in een kunstmatige coma gehouden. Wat de opgelopen neurologische schade is is momenteel nog niet geweten. Dokters gaan hem in de komende uren/dagen proberen uit de coma te halen. Dan pas zal blijken wat de neurologische schade is en dan zullen we weten als Brandon nog leeft.

Teenage Bottlerocket,

Please keep Brandon in your thoughts and prayers as he fights for his life. Here's the statement from Ray: Hi friends and family. This is a tough one. Here goes. My brother Brandon Carlisle is in a coma. His roommate found him yesterday around 11 am and he was unresponsive. The paramedics showed up at his house shortly after and his heart wasn't beating. They got it going and it gave out again in the ambulance. They got his heart started again and it stopped beating in the icu unit where the doctors were able to get his heart going again a third time. The scary part is the swelling to Brandon's brain due to lack of oxygen and blood flow. His body temperature was 88 degrees when he arrived at the icu. I'm pretty sure that means my brother was without oxygen for quite a long time. He is currently in a coma and the doctors are keeping him at about 93 degrees. They will start to bring him back up to a normal temperature for the next 12-16 hours. Then they will ween him off of his sedatives and the neurologists will be able to determine whether or not Brandon is still with us. All prayers and thoughts for my brother are greatly appreciated. I know Brandon didn't want this to happen. He's tough as nails and we are hoping for the best. Looks like we need a miracle. Love to all.
