Dear James, Daniel and Emily
So I jumped the gun, as it were. They took him off the respirator last night, and he did not pass away, instead his body kept right on breathing. So now begins what could be a prolonged wait. This is really pretty agonizing. With the brain damage it would be a miracle for him to come back, it is really the brain stem and involuntary actions that are keeping going. So there is a DNR on him, and he will go eventually, just no telling exactly when. Which just makes it all the harder on the family, because while we have to try and get back to 'normal' life, knowing that he is still there in the hospital doesn't make it any easier.
My prayers with you and your whole family.
