… I’m back from Cincy, dad couldn’t have the hip replacement today because his lungs wont take the surgery.

So my brother and I decided to make some decisions.

Decisions that take things in a particular direction, given my dad’s DNR and order not to intubate.  We told the staff to take off the cpap machine.  To make him less agitated.  To swing the pendulum from getting better to “being more comfortable”.

There are no good answers, even the questions stink.

Hip replacement surgery is scheduled on Monday at 1.    I’m not sure his pneumonia will be cleared up by then, especially as we have changed his medical care.

Are we doing the right thing?  Are we doing what my dad wanted… and my mom when she was alive?

Sadly, the answer is yes.  My brother and I know where this is going.

But we love our dad, and will do what he wants us to do.
