So sorry, sir. Fair winds and following seas to the young man.Father in law passed away last night shortly after we visited him in the ICU. Complications from diabetes and being on dialysis, coupled with a bout of carbon monoxide in the system due to oxygen issues. Also dealing with low blood pressure and congestive heart failure as well. Visting someone on their deathbed who is mentally there but body is breaking down and intubated and can’t talk is a shitty way to say goodbye.
I don’t know how ICU healthcare workers deal with that day in and day out. Much respect to people in that line of work.

For sure. Once he and my MIL made the decision to switch to comfort care and start the process of “pulling the plug”, they gave him morphine and he was at least comfortable throughout the rest of that process. Covid is a dirty bitch when it comes to visitation. Thankfully, he didn’t have it so we were able to visit one at a time. The family had a couple months of him in the hospital and nobody able to see him (even his wife) due to Covid restrictions. It just made a bad situation that much worse.That sucks. Sorry to hear.
At the very least you did get to say goodbye at the bedside, the COVID19 positive cases can’t have visitors, the closest you’re allowed is looking through the glass from outside the room (if the whole floor isn’t locked down). For a while people had to say their goodbyes through zoom and an iPad that gets placed inside the room overlooking the patient.
losing someone sucks all the way around. Take some solace that he’s not suffering anymore and with the drugs he was likely getting he felt as comfortable as he could given the circumstances
From the healthcare side tell your MIL we appreciate it when families communicate with each other and make the decision/take control of the direction of care. It’s a lot less traumatic than having the decision made for you when things go south and next thing you know you’re in a brutal code.For sure.

He actually coded 3 weeks ago and they had to perform CPR to bring him back, so the opportunity to call it was presented and on the table since then but she wasn’t ready to let go. It took him staying in a state of decline since that day for him to convince her to give them green light. Heart wrenching stuff but it is what it is at this point. We’re just glad he’s at peace.From the healthcare side tell your MIL we appreciate it when families communicate with each other and make the decision/take control of the direction of care.

When you guys are able to, celebrate his life. I’m sure he wants you all to be happy

Thanks for doing what you do, by the way.
So sorry to hear this brotha!!! I know all too well with the "comfort care" thing.For sure.
