It sounds like the swelling is going down, but his lungs are pretty full of fluid, which they are managing with diuretics. He is starting to open his eyes a bit.

He is hanging in there for now.

Just catching up on this. Glad there is some positive news! Keeping you and BIL in prayer!

[BonBon]

Glad to hear he's hanging in. I hope he continues to improve. Hugs!

Thinking of you and your family.

Oh wow. I'm so sorry.

[HouseofWool]

Apparently, there is still no improvement. He is running a low grade fever, which isn't terribly surprising to me.

Tomorrow, BIL is meeting with an attorney to finalize the medical power of attorney and one of the other brothers will assume the financial portion.

BIL, who is a clinical (not retail) pharmacist, had to talk to his brother about quality of life issues for their dad.

He will never be the same person, there will likely be huge disabilities, physically, cognitively, and emotionally. The wife is a manipulative drama queen and he has been the one to take care of her. She is not capable of taking care of him.

It sucks. It really sucks.

Thats a horrible accident and such a devastating injury. My heart goes out to your BIL & his siblings. How harrowing for his dear family and those that know & love him.

[Curegirl]

What an awful situation...I'm so, so sorry Kris.

In talking with my sister last night, she said that should he survive, he will not be able to return to his house because it has too many stairs.

One of the kids lives in this area, has no kids, his wife does not work, and they are financially successful. But, they wouldn't even consider having the dad live with them, so it will fall to my sister to make room for him in their home. Along with their 4 kids.

[Vanquisher]

Oh dear gawd.

Any chance of long term care/assisted living?

[HouseofWool]

I think it will all depend on the extent of the disabilities.

But, at this point, there is too many unknowns to make plans.

And...THESE are the people who make people assume that no kids = selfish. *sigh*. For the record, it would never even occur to me NOT to take an ailing parent in. In fact, my ILs are thinking of moving close to where we're going to settle, and when they visited DH's brother recently and reported to us that BIL was campaigning to get them to move closer to HIM, my first thought was "oh no you don't!" And one of the main reasons we're going where we are is because it's driving distance to my dad.
