Hello @cmstrachota,

I hope you are doing well. It has been a few days since you last posted about your husband's removal from a ventilator. How is he doing?

Will you post an update when it is convenient for you?

I am heartbroken to say we had to put him back on the ventilator. He is not going to get any better. He is getting worse and weaker everyday. He would have to be on life support and in a lo g term care facility the rest of his life.
He does not want that.

I am so sorry to hear this, @cmstrachota I can't imagine how difficult this is for you and your husband. Please feel free to reach out to Connect. I would like to hear from you again. Will you post an update as you can?

Just wondering, do you have family and friends nearby who can support you during this time?

Hello @cmstrachota

I've been thinking about you. When you last posted you said that your husband was getting weaker and his doctors put him back on the ventilator.

How are you doing?
