Thank you all. I'm waiting for today's report, though I got one last night.
He went 8 minutes without oxygen. He's on life support and there is no medical POA. The cardiologist told my parents and his XW that it was the repaired valve (he had one replaced 2 weeks ago) that was leaking blood, and the infection has worsened. He told them that they could not do any further surgery. I guess they were going to run tests today (why? I don't know) and then make a plan. I don't know how much they can do without POA so we wait and see. He's not regained consciousness and I truly feel in my heart that he's already gone.
If they can pull the plug, D17 and I will probably fly out Sunday sometime. I'm loading all my work stuff on my laptop so I can work from their house. There is a lot going on here, and I don't want to delay progress on that front - there is quite a bit of money on the table and I fully plan on grabbing what we are offered. And then we close on the estate house on the 17th. What a total CF. But it will all work out.
So thanks for the virtual hugs. They're really appreciated.
