Carrie Fisher suffers heart attack

Carrie is one with The Force and The Force is with her.
 
She's on a ventilator apparently. :(
 
It's been reported that she stopped breathing for 10 minutes. The reports are murky right now but there is a difference between a heart attack and cardiac arrest, which can have no signs of breathing. Often the victims can die within minutes.

I'm just saying that she didn't die on the plane as they were hauling her off to the hospital, and now she's on a ventilator. I'm saying that's a good sign, but I wanna say it is. But anything can happen though. I'm no doctor.
 
Praying she's okay and pulls through.
 
Guys the big problem here isn't the heart. I'm not a doctor either but from a good friend who suffered a similar incident. When you suffer cardiac arrest the big problem is how much oxygen the brain receives until breathing resumes and the heart resumes.

My deepest prayers are that she'll pull through this, but there's a chance even if she pulled through, from the time involved she could have significant brain damage. The first sign will be how soon she can get off the ventilator and resume breathing on her own.

Not trying to be a downer here guys, I just wanted to present how serious this might be. We all hope for the best for her!
 
*** My post was before I saw jokesonm3's post. That is very, very good news. Like I say I didn't mean to be a downer, but when you hear cardiac arrest people only think of the heart, it's not just the heart, it's your whole pulmonary system shutting down, and people can often survive but end up comatose, because of massive brain damage. Your brain cannot stay without oxygen for very long.
 
Scary. Hope she makes a full recovery. :(
 
Damnit 2016 go the hell away. Thinking good thoughts for Carrie.
 
She's been through some rough times in her life. Hopefully she can recover from this. It is too close to Christmas and a new year for her to die.

I can only imagine how her daughter and other family members must be feeling right now.
 
Please no I just came back from seeing Rogue One and this is the news I hear :csad:. Please make it through Carrie Fisher.
 
Thoughts & prayers are with her. I really, really hope she pulls through 1000%.
 
If anyone can beat 2016's ass, it's Carrie Fisher. She's gone through too much not to go out on her own terms.
