Thinking of you. I'm sorry that your family is going through this. Do what feels right for you. You can always ask your sister or mom to hold the phone to your dad's ear so you can talk to him without having to see him in that state. If its something you would like to do. <3
I am so sorry. My dad has what we thought was going to be a routine heart surgery last month and ended up only waking up for one day and passed a week later. I just want to say my heart is with you and I’m praying for a different outcome for your dad. Sending big hugs and love.
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
I am so sorry you guys are in this position and I will be keeping your family in my thoughts and prayers. We had a similar experience with my dad about fifteen years ago; he went in for a routine bypass and absolutely everything went wrong during the surgery, including a heart attack and coding that night. He was on a vent and in ICU for three weeks, but survived with no lasting non-cardiac complications.
I’m sure this week has been a blur. Be kind to yourself and rest went you can. We spent every waking moment at the hospital and I don’t think it did us any favors. Sending you a big virtual hug.
