My dad has been put on a ventalator (which we thought was no longer a possibilty). So things are definitely going backwards in a grand fashion. After talking with my mom last night, I realized that she was having difficulty in comprehending all of this and (in my opinion) trusting the doctors too much without asking questions. Like "why in a two hour span did he go from doing ok to vent" and "why did the doctor ask what are dad's wishes regarding heroic measures". I think it is time that someone is with her all the time now and asking these questions. My younger sister and her hubby and kids are arriving this afternoon and I told mom to "gently demand" a meeting tomorrow at 9 to find out what the heck is going on and to give NO options of "if the doctor can't see us, have him call us" etc. Thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers and thoughts. Can you do it a little bit harder now? I have no idea when I will be back. But will keep others in my thoughts and prayers as they have requested. Grace
