Icon55 Kyle Okposo in Intensive Care

I didn't see a thread on this, but it seems like it's legitimate. Apparently they aren't sure what the issue is, which is rather scary.

I thought it was mentioned that the unit he is in deals with strokes and brain tumours and such. Doesn't sound good.

Damn that's horrible. Did he have a lot of issues before that Phaneuf hit that injured him I think in pre-season from years ago?

This is terrible. I hope he gets better fast.

Something is really wrong... you don't end up in intensive care for something minor.

Here's hoping he recovers from what sounds like a scary situation.

While he's in a neuro ICU and that mean a lot of different things, I wonder if it has anything to do with the cumulative effects of concussions.

Extremely unlikely in my experiences in an ICU. It is likely related to a stroke, tumor, or infection.

Only 2 other places I'd rather not be in a hospital: emergency surgical and palliative care. ICU is serious. I'd speculate a stroke.

"Coach Dan Bylsma would only say Okposo is with team doctors and tests have yet to pinpoint the cause of the illness."

If it's a stroke would they not be able to diagnose that? Sounds like they don't know exactly what the issue is.

ICU is a ward with many medical concerns. It could be anything, however ICU usually is a sign of serious illness. Doesnt mean he cant overcome it, depending on severity.

"Okposo is in the Neuro Surgical ICU at Buffalo General Medical Center, Paul Hamilton of WGR-AM 550 reported Wednesday."

I know but the reason I went there is simple. I look at Bret Hart, suffered multiple concussions in short order and suddenly had a massive stroke. I've read about kids that have had concussions in a short period of time that have major issues.

I mean, while something like this is something you don't want to wish on anyone, you also hope its not the other thing, like a brain tumor.

I had this when I was in grade 11. No laughing matter.

Not as bad as bacterial but still not good.
