Kathy writes in–

My father has been in the cardiac ICU for nearly four weeks after his third open-heart surgery, CABG, tamponade aortic dissection in three months. He requires re-ventilation with a tracheotomy and now is on dialysis.

The doctors keep assessing that there are very reasonable expectations that he can make a near-full recovery, but that it will be a long road. We keep asking and that is what they keep telling us, but his organs seem to not be getting much better. He is really struggling with his breathing. And his kidneys are shut down and he’s on dialysis.

As I mentioned, we’re not sure the right questions to be asking. We don’t know what this means for his quality of life. And he has a medical directive and we don’t want to do anything that contravenes his wishes. But it is so hard to know how to decide to say yes or no to something they are recommending. My father has in his advanced care directive that he wants to have everything done.
