My father has been on a venilator since last Saturday. The doctor don't see much hope in his survival, every time they try to see if he can breath on his own, his heart rate sky rockets, as well as his blood pressure, and his brain doesnt receive enough oxygen. My Dad, has told the family, that he only wants to be "kept" alive for two weeks. That means I have another week. The choice is basically up to me, my sister hasnt spoken to the family in about five years, and my brother means well, but he is a drug addict. He has multiple infections, and even while sedated it looks like he is in pain. He isn't responsive either. I guess my big fear is, if I say ok pull the plug...I would be playing God. Im not a religious person but that scares me. It also scares me to lose my dad. In my head I know I should honor his wishes, but my heart is breaking just thinkin about it. I guess I just need some help:(
