Dad is back in the hospital. He's not looking too good. His COPD is preventing his body from releasing carbon dioxide and he's having trouble breathing. Julie and I worried all day about whether to place him on a ventilator if necessary, but then we asked him and he decided. He said, "It's time for this to be over," and was very clear that he does not want a ventilator or other measures taken to prolong life.
He's stable for now, but he will likely continue to get worse, so for now it's just a waiting game. I was at the hospital from 8 am. to 11 pm. today and Julie is still there and staying the night with Aunt Yvonne.
Please pray for him to be comfortable and to feel okay. I will try to keep you updated.
