Spoke with the doctor today and he said that dad's heart is weak and only working 27% and his condition has not been improving this week. It is not suggested that he should be on the ventilator for much longer because of infection and the doctor would like to do a tracheostomy (surgical procedures on the neck to open a direct airway through an incision in the trachea) on Thursday.
I know my dad and I know he would not want a hole in his throat.... and so I have decided not do the procedure.
