Oh Barbara, I hope your doing ok.
Its never easy, I know, but I would not
like to see him suffer either.
I know you will be sad in the coming
days, so come here and post and talk
to us if you need too.
You should feel good about all you have
done for him and that he knows you are
a terriffic friend to him.

Crying or Very sad Doug will be taken off of life support today around 3:15 to 3:30 whenever everyone can get there. His dad told me he would see to it that the hospital would allow be to also be there. I'm not sure if I can handle it though.

Barb,

Bless you my friend. I know what you are going through right now is heart wrenching and no words are able to soothe. Just know my heart is with you, and God is there by your side.

Wrapping my arms around you and holding you tight!!!!

I just got back from the hospital. I just had to go. Doug is in a coma and the hospital won't pull the tubes until his power of attorney gets there who is not family. I lost it in the emergency and left Doug's room until I could compose myself. Doug did move his one hand in the emergency when I talked to him but I didn't know that was possible if your in a coma. He could go very soon or last days after they cut off life support.

Right now I'm numb.

Prayers, Barb. I was with my best friend just prior to her being disconnected from life support. She was conscious and it was her decision which, one would think, would make it easier for family and friends. It didn't. I know what you're feeling and feel for you. Much love and many prayers for Doug, you and his family. He's going to a better home than he's had here but he'll never have a better friend than you've been. God bless.
