Correct.
Yeah, very poor response.
So I warned her in all medical probability that Maya would die a slow, painful death.
So I discussed with the mother and with Maya the idea of the ketamine coma procedure.
Okay?
So she went through the five-day ketamine infusion.
Why did we elect to do that after trying to get her under control with a four-day outpatient ketamine?
Because her response was not definite enough, clear enough, that more ketamine infusions was the way to go.
But keep in mind, as your mom knows, and she's a nurse, going to an intensive care unit is much, much higher in risk, much higher.
Not to mention how it is when you come out of the coma.
I mean, going into the coma is no problem, right, Maya?
Isn't that right?
Tell us about how it was when you came out.
Was it pretty bad news?
Yeah, I did not like it.
I felt like I couldn't breathe.
I was coughing like crazy, and I felt like I couldn't breathe.
Right, right.
So it's important to tell it like it is.
That's right.
