Easter weekend
So Easter weekend didn't turn out as anyone had planned. On Friday morning my grandfather had a massive MI and was rushed to the hospital. They resuscitated him, and although he had a heart beat he wasn't breathing on his own, so they intubated him. My grandmother made the decision to make him a DNR because she didn't want to put him through more pain and the doctors thought he might arrest again. Since then she as well as her children have made their peace and were ready to let him go, so they disconnected the life support rather then prolong what would be a slow downward spiral. The doctors said it might be minutes, or hours... since then it's been 16 hours and counting. Now we are just waiting.
