So sorry to hear this news. I hope you'll cherish your memories of him and help your dad get through his loss as well. It's so hard to lose someone who loved you & you loved back. You're in my prayers.

Gnusgal said:I have very sad news to report tonight... Dad called to tell me that he talked to Hank's brother and the surgeon is saying that Hank is unresponsive and he does not have any hope that he will become responsive. Therefore, his brother has made the difficult decision to have Hank taken off of the respirator and other machines tomorrow after the family spends one last day with him. They do not know how long after being taken off of the respirator he will last, but it probably won't be long.
This came as a total shock to me. I had thought there was hope from the little bits of information I actually got out of Dad, but I guess he was mistaken, misunderstood, or just wanted very much to have hope. I am so saddened by this news.
Thank you all for your prayers and kind words. I know that Hank would have appreciated them had he known about them.
