:sad: :bye: I have been in St. Augustine the past 2 days spending the night at the hospital because my dad. I have been in St. Augustine the past 2 days spending the night at the hospital because my dad. Unfortunately I had to make the choice (because I was next inken (spelling))to pull the plug as he wasn't getting any better. It sucks to see him go and it's still a touchy subject as of right now, but I think I did what was best, and what he would have wanted. Just incase your wondering what happened, he was on his boat (it was docked) and had a stroke and went overboard and underwater for about no more than 30 seconds. The girl who tried to help save my dad and keep his head above water before help came said when she took his head and was holding it above water he started siezing. The EMT got there and had to use the things that jolt you (forgot what they are called but you probably know what im talking about) and got his heart to start beating again. They took him to the hospital and then had to put him on a ventalator inorder to breath. His condition didn't improve since the first time i seen him (Thursday I think) and always seemed cold to the touch (his hands)). They did testing on his brain last night (and got the results at 10 this morning as the doctor was late) was told the test results. Very little brain activity and if he where to make it would need constant attention and would not be able to talk, walk or eat. He would have to be fead through a feeding tube.

Just waiting for the hospital to call now and confirm he passed.
