It is 1 AM and I just saw a horrible thing

My father laying on the floor unconscious with blood flowing from a cut he got when he fell. My mom had awakened me ( I am staying with them) saying that EMS was coming. I got out of bed and there he was, right inside his bedroom door laying flat on his front. I tried to get a pulse but could not get one. My mom got a very weak one. But he would not wake up.

EMS took him to the hospital 20 minutes ago. My brother is coming out from Brooklyn and we will go to the ER to meet with my mom and the doctors. My other brother happens to be out of town in Tuscon Arizona so we got my SIL. She will call my bro once we know how what dads status is.

THe shit thing is my dad never did a general DNR, just one on file from the last time he was in the hospital. We forgot that one little document when we set up the wills and health care proxys. So, once the medics got the weak pulse they had to do everything to bring him back.

Right at this moment, I have no silver lining to this tale.
I don't want my dad to die, but when he does, or if he did, I wanted him to just go to sleep. NO pain, no problems.
Now all I can think of is him realizing he was falling and could not stop himself from pain.


I have nothing left guys..............
