The doctors don't feel like there's anything they can do for FIL. MIL, with input from everyone else, made the very difficult decision to refuse treatment and let him pass.
Mark's Uncles/FIL's brothers are all flying out there today. Mark, myself and his brother are going out Saturday morning. After we get there, they're going to take him off life support. The doctors have told us that he could go immediately, or it may take days/weeks. I'm hoping for immediately. I feel like it sounds awful, but the longer this drags on, the worse everyone is getting.
If you guys could keep us in your thoughts and prayers on Saturday, I'd be grateful. It's going to be a very long and difficult day.

Oh Kate... I am so sorry. You are deep in my thoughts and prayers today and wanting a quick passing doesn't sound awful, it sounds merciful, gracious and kind.
Hang in there... big, huge hugs coming at ya.

What are you looking at?
oh Kate, I'm sooo very sorry to hear this. You'll be in my thoughts & prayers x a million on Saturday, in the days following & over the holidays.
And that doesn't sound awful at all. You dont' want him to suffer. That's pretty much the most selfless thing you could all do...let him go even though that will hurt all of you.

Lots of T&P for you, Mark and his family. I am so sorry you are going through this, and I hope your travels are complication free.
Sooooo Sorry Kate.
Keeping you, Mark and his entire family in my prayers.
I'm so sorry it has come to this
I know it is the worst feeling in the world to hope it is over soon, but he won't be suffering much longer, and then you can all begin the grieving process. My heart truly goes out to you and your husband, my Dad passed away 3 years ago on the 3rd, and I still cannot believe he's gone.
I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers this weekend!
