My Father Now !!!

So my father has been in the hospital for two weeks and a half.

He was admitted to the hospital because he couldn't breath due to smoking. They put him in a coma. And he depended completely on the machine.

The doctors said that it is a matter of days-3 to 4 days - before he can breath by himself . Days passed by and he didn't wake up or breath by himself. The only progress was that they reduce the level of oxygen from the machine a bit each day, but they never removed it.

Last week, my brother- who is accompanying my father- notice a change in my father condition, he felt that something was wrong with my father. The doctors- like most doctors in Saudi Arabia-insisted that nothing is wrong . But after more pressure they agree to have a CT Scan.

Indeed there was something wrong with my father. He got a brain stroke.

And nobody knew about it !!!!

To cover up their stupidity, they say that he got it while in coma and so they couldn't have known about it. But to think about it now and how he was before going to the hospital , he might got it while there from the beginning.

They say it was a mild one, then a medium one. Next it was on one side of the brain.

And we are still listening to their stories. They plug the machine out and they stopped the drugs but nothing has happened , he didn't wake up and he still can not breathe by himself.

They say it's cuz he is unconscious. and we are still waiting.

Is this it for him ?

is he ever going to wake up ?

is he ever going to talk to us ?

or even hear us ?

The situation is very depressing , shocking and sad. We are depressed and sick and sad.

My brother is devastated. I don't know what will happen to him if something happen to my father??.He is still can not accept the situation that my father might not wake up again or even be aware.

Even my mother -who has endured hell on my father's hand and who has seen him in a lot of bad situation before- is so sad and cries a lot of time. She told u sthat what she sees right now is something she never saw and she feels real sorry for him.

We asked her to forgive him for everything he did and she said that she did ,the moment she saw him that way.

We keep visiting him and talk to him but he can not listen or even respond.

All we see is an old man who is lying on bed plugged to machines with open eyes that never closed until he is asleep. Even his sleeping is trouble because of his breathing problem.
