This is a hard thing. When my mom had a massive bleed stroke we had her breathing tube removed after it became clear that there would be no meaningful recovery. It's very possible that they will have a discussion with your family about comfort care after your fil's supports are removed. That is what we did with my mom and it was a hard thing to do, but it was the right decision. I'll pray for your family.

Tomorrow heaven may gain an angel, but we will be losing a great man. So sorry to hear that. Prayers for comfort for your family. Your quote above is so telling about him and how his family feels about him. Mary K

Tomorrow morning at 10am the doctors are sitting down with my husband and his step mother. My FIL suffered a massive heart attack Tuesday and had to be revived 4 times. He had steps to be followed as per his wishes, and he is at the end of those steps. All I prayed was that he would hold on until my husband got to him, and now that he arrived all I'm praying is that my husband, who flew states away to be with him, will be ok when Pappy's time comes. The doctors have heavily prepared my husband that there looks to be no good outcome. The discussion tomorrow is sure to be brief and is about taking Pappy off the support. It could go quickly, slowly or not at all, which would be the hardest to watch as they expect heavy brain damage took place. Peas....if you have a moment please pray for my FIL. Pray that his journey to heaven is quick, that the pain is gone and that when he arrives he greets my baby daughter with joy and love. I know she will be watching and guarding her Daddy from heaven, but I know she is ready to meet her Pappy. Tomorrow heaven may gain an angel, but we will be losing a great man. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- UPDATE..... MY husband called to explains change of plans. MY Step-mil is really struggling and is uncertain due to the questions surrounding brain activity. She is having a hard time letting go, because "what if". The brain doctor said they are confident that his activity has been seriously compromised, but for their sake they decided to take him off of the meds helping to have him "sleep", and the pain meds. If there is any activity with his brain he will be in severe pain, and they will react accordingly. This is to be over the next 24 hours. The heart Doctor went on to matter of factly explain that tomorrow when they move forward with the plans and he is released from all meds(his blood pressure meds) he will flatline very quickly. Very adamant and matter of fact. I think this is God's way of helping my husband. My greatest wish is that now that he will not be in the sleep induced coma he can hear my husband and squeeze his hand. I KNOW(as in my heart know) that he is gone mentally, but my husband just wants him to know that he flew in, and is there. This is so heartbreaking.

I'm rambling.....I feel so useless being thousands of miles away. I keep crying and remembering the good times.
A silly favorite...... When DH and I dated, his parents were VERY involved in their messy, mean and nasty divorce recovery. Pappy was anti marriage.
He and DH (along with a few friends) were at a charity golf event. 18th hole had a contest to win a ring. Pappy made a joke to all the guys about getting the ring and hocking it. My DH replied "yes. I can hock it because I gave Leslie and engagement ring last night".
Pappy threatened him with his club, and chased him around the hole laughing like looney tunes! I always teased that I was going to win him over and be his favorite DIL. 15 years later, I'm his only DIL , so I know I'm his favorite and I also know he deeply loves me. He will be missed!

I KNOW(as in my heart know) that he is gone mentally, but my husband just wants him to know that he flew in, and is there. This is so heartbreaking. We went through something similar with my father in February. While he technically had brain activity, his physical health was severely compromised (ARDS, pneumonia, sepsis, etc.) and there was no way to know how the challenges he had ultimately affected his brain. The doctors were very clear that if he could surmount the medical obstacles, at his age and having been motionless for 6 weeks, he would most likely never walk again and possibly never come off of the ventilator. This was not a life my father would have wanted. We opted to move him to comfort care and remove the ventilator. He was gone in less than 12 hours. But it took my stepmother and we three children about a week to come to terms with the prognosis and all come together on the same page to get there. It is never easy to make these decisions. I am sorry for your impending loss.
