Something very similar happened to my family. My dad was a normal healthy guy. Within the course of a year was diagnosed with colitus. After they couldnt cure what had or even control it he fell into a coma 7 months into his illness. About a month into the coma they finally figured out that he did not have colitus at all but some very rare disease that affects your Duodenum (where a major portion of your digestion and absorbtion occurs). His case was the fifth case ever to be recorded in the medical journal. He started to show stages of improvement. He woke from his coma and was talking again after 4 months. On January 6th we got a phone call saying that he had died from cardiac arrest. I guess your heart can only go so fast for so long.

Its funny how your loss affected your family almost the same as mine. Its only been 9 months now so its a little early to tell how everything will turn out...but then again life does go on.
