My housekeeper and good friend’s 7 year old daughter is in a Coma following a motor cycle accident, its the 3rd day on life-support, she is not responsive.

She is on one of the Eesan Government Hospitals, mother has three visitation hours into the “clean room” per day, been sleeping on the floor outside since she was submitted.

We are naturally all heartbroken, and I was wondering if there is anything that can be done ?

….and what can be expected if she doesn’t come around anytime soon ?

Anyone with experience with this is most welcome !

UPDATE 21. Aug. 15:32

She has just been taken off Ventilator as she has now started to breathe by herself.

It doesn't mean we are out of the forest yet, unfortunately I don't have more information at the moment. I just wanted to share and thank everyone who through their support, wishes, positive thinking and prayers have been instrumental to us reaching this critical milestone for her recovery !

Thank you everyone for your support ! <3

I found the following contacts for situations like this: - Samaritans of Thailand at their 24-hour hotline 02-113-6789 (English & Thai) - Thai Mental Health Hotline at 1323 (Thai).

From a desperate parent . . . Sorry to burden members here, as I'm sure everyone is dealing with their own hardships, but I'm at my wit's end and need some guidance. I'm a single dad here on Phuket, and have been for 6 years. In those six years, I was GM for a relatively successful tourism-based business (we arranged charters, team-buildings and weddings). Sadly, the consequences of the pandemic caused the business to slowly fail and my employment to be terminated 2 months ago. According to Thai labour law, I'm due severance and I attempted to negotiate a settlement rather than dragging matters through courts or arbitration. Long story - short: they are only willing to pay about 25% of what is actually owed and only when the company's assets are eventually sold. The main issue is, my savings have almost run out and I am really struggling to make ends meet. I certainly can't afford a new visa, nor is there any work available here. I can't even afford a flight back to my own country (I've contacted my embassy, with nothing but a 'sorry, you're on your own - good luck' response). I have a wonderful 12-year-old boy and I just need him to be safe and well. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions, please?

Thanks.
