[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 343884, member: 2459"] OMG! The doctor husband and sibs talked to today is a different one than the one husband made the first 24 hour agreement with. After making the decision to suspend treatment and thinking about it all last night and today until they spoke with today's doctor......the doctor decided to give mother in law another 24-48 hours. They discontinued the sedative this morning at 4 and this doctor wants to give her time to come out of days worth of sedation to see what kind of brain function she has so they can make sure. Again. As of this afternoon, she has no gag reflex, no blink reflex and hasn't so much as batted an eyelash in a couple of days. She produced a bit of urine this morning but none since. If she's moved onto her right side, her stats drop and she's on three different medications to keep her blood pressure UP. I'm so angry with this doctor. I understand the motivation but honestly....nothing will change. And...all we are doing is delaying the inevitable as well as dragging things out for husband and his sibs. But....the positive side of this...husband seems to be doing better. I hate that he has to endure at least another day of the waiting but he seems to be more accepting of all of this. Sigh. So....we went home to get clean clothes, some rest and bathe (LOL) and will go back up to confer with the genius doctor around noon tomorrow. As of now, the plan from today will now more than likely take place tomorrow. But...who knows what will change. [/QUOTE]
