Organ donor??
This is down right disturbing. You would think they would be more or less waiting in the wings than being vultures waiting on there prey.
Thanks for the insight Robert, lot more to this than just "checking a box" so to speak.
And exactly why I advocated playing out all the scenarios with your health care proxy and making sure everyone was on the same page.
Remember, your health care proxy will be your eyes, your ears, your voice, if you're incapable of seeing these things for yourself and making the decisions that need to be made.
The decision was made to unhook Sarah from the machines. The bag of morphine was ordered, respiratory was on the way up.
Sarah had had a lot of seizures that Saturday night, going into Sunday morning.
Like I said, they were polite and consoling, but were hovering over her not quite dead yet body to have me rescind the orders for just a "few more hours so they could do the biopsies necessary."
And let her lay there and have even more seizures and experience even more pain while they did so. On the off chance they could actually use her kidneys.
Sorry, folks, Sarah wanted to be a organ donor, but she also didn't want to lay there in a living state of death. One decision took precedent over the other.
She'd already told me good bye with the tears in her eyes as she started having seizures. It just took my dumb *** a little while to wrap my head around it and voice the decision she'd already made.
There was no way in hell I was going to make her lay there any longer without knowing peace and joining our daughter at Heaven's Gates.
