If he didn’t have oxygen to the brain for 35 mins like the emt said , is it even possible to not be close to brain dead?

Very similar to what a few other posters described, I found my hubby non-responsive after spending the whole day with an oxygen count getting lower and lower. He also had CHF (congestive heart failure) and had really bad allergies then as it was spring. Could be similar to Leach having recently had pneumonia, if true. His oxygen got lot at night and he couldn't wake up...when I came home that evening at like 7:30, he his level was only 48%. He got oxygen, meds, IVs, etc. Eventually a cath and a stent. He lived 2 more years and was by no means in great shape, but could drive, take care of himself, etc. He finally had a massive heart attack. He was 57, 8 years ago.
