Thank you all so much. Well I managed to get my father in laws brothers to go with my husband and his brother to go talk to the doctor. I went along too since I am the only one they have met thus far. They told us that when he was admited his surgar level was 1,800. He is diabetic, and does not take care of himself. He does not take his insulin, he loves his candy and soda and everything else that is a no no for someone with diabetes.
They brought his surgar down to 200 but it did too much damage to his body. His kindneys, liver, heart, are in failing and there is very little brain activity. They said his body is still in shock and there is a possibity that he can survive this but will never really have a normal life. So right now they will not take him off the support because he had nothing in writting stating he did not want to be kept alive by any support. So even though we all know it's not what he wanted we have to just wait and see. Unless he worsens by his heart stoping or no brain activity at all, they will keep him hooked up.
I know by seeing their father (meaning my husband and his brother) that way they did feel something. It did hurt seeing him that way. And hopefully they will be there more for him. I am so grateful to you all for your support. It's been really hard. But I do feel a bit better now that I got the boys to see their father. Now I wish they would grant David's wishes and take him off support. I know he would not want life with brain damage, which he is sure to have even if he does pull through.
