It has been three weeks since she was found with bleeding her head.
My Dad asked me today what I think about taking her off life support.
I know what the right thing to do is but its hard.
She had almost died 2 times this week and does not respond to anything.
She also has a bad infection and the flu with a very high fever.

Oh Jacky, I am so sorry you and your family are going through this... for her, and for all involved in this difficult time... It is a very difficult decision to make, my heart goes out to you and your dad.

What a terrible situation. Many and prayers for your family, and
for you. I'm sorry to hear that you have to go through all of that, and that such a terrible, sad decision has to be made.

I'm very sorry to hear about that. I guess even when you know what the right decision is, it's still so hard to even say it out loud.

I'll keep you and your family in my thoughts.

My mother had a cerebral hemmorage in 1997 and was taken off life support the next day. My father and sister stayed in the room when she passed, but I just couldn't. It was painless for my mom, but it was still terrible to know there was nothing anyone could do for her.
Sending prayers for you, your family and friends.
Cathy

My dad has a meeting with the dr tomorrow.
They also are waiting for her Niece to get there from Chicago.
They will decide when to take her off life support.
