ORIGINAL: Rule The pneumonia likely is caused by being on the ventilator. I will be insensitive now - with the best of intentions: take him off the ventilator and let him live or die as the Divine will have it. (Him dying like is best for everyone involved. Sorry, but (my) truth is insensitive.) Could you do everyone a favor and keep your abject ignorance to yourself? Your insensitivity is not even close to the truth. I am going to answer you both at the same time. The pneumonia is likely due to him being intubated and having aspirated in the beginning. This demonstrates why the can only intubate for two weeks. The risk for infections is just way too high. THis is a foreign object in your body/lungs. Ya know. . . the decision to end support is not an easy one. Rule needs to talk to his loved ones about his wishes. In fact everyone should do that. Whatever decision I make I will have to live with for the rest of my life. That is just the way it works. I realize that paralyzation is very scary. There are many people that cannot bear the thought of their bodies betraying them in that way. Rule is one of them. The left side of his brain is not damaged. He can think and will be able to do all of the cognitive tasks. We did discuss wishes and as his wife, it will be my decision. However, the surgeon has stated that it is not yet time for decisions.
