It took about a week. They kept him sedated alot but he knew we were there. He was conscious. Me, my sisters and my mom all had alone time with him. He could have gotten the tube and live an undetermined amount of time. But with what quality? Just lying there. That's it. He didn't want that and had spoken to my mother about it when he was well. He died peacfully surrounded by his family. This is so hard for you I know. If you need to talk I'm here.
Boys will be boys.
Paso...sounds like he is making some progress.
Just called temp 103 no more movement etc..
Yeah the nurse said the same thing..he is doing the man thing..OK whats that..she beat around the bush so I came up with the nuts thing it could have been more but he has a diaper on. But he did pull out his feeding tube...I work tomorrow so I will see what kind of change I see when I go up on Wed also I meet with neuro then....I fell asleep before calling back last night I had gone to Greenwell for some time to myself before mom came home..went for a short ride and ended up with the horse in a tobacco barn with a hailing ass thunder storm...kinda cool...Anyway gotta go feed..then go get mom...
