Re: For those who know Chris Schader

Horrible news

I've only met Chris a few times over the years, but he was always a nice guy. Was this just a case of Pnuemonia gone wild?

That's some crazy shit.

I had no history of head trauma, but ended up having a double brain surgery to save my life. Crazy Shit happens without cause

The pneumonia which is an infection of the lungs is just one of different illnesses that can lead up to ARDS. ARDS basically doesn't allow the lungs to supply enough oxygen to the rest of the body... Leading to multiple organ failure. It's honestly pretty nasty stuff... =\

The info I read said that even if patients with ARDS pull through, their organs (brain lungs etc) most times aren't the same. If the brain wasn't getting proper oxygen, he could have ended up "living" with severe brain damage so he wouldn't be the same Chris that so many have fond memories of. I had to make a DNR decision on my mom when I was 19 in very similar circumstances. Toughest decision I've ever made but you have to think hard about the quality of life and what that person would have wanted. I know he passed on his own, but hopefully some can find comfort in knowing that he truly is in a better place.

And again, please ket us know if an account is established to help his family with medical expenses.
