I got the call today to say I need to go in ASAP he was to I’ll to fight anymore. The doctor explained he suffered a massive stroke which caused several mini strokes. His brain stem had been affected. They couldn’t maintain his blood pressure it was to low and his heart rate was to high. We had a couple of hours with him and they took away the ventilator. They gave him morphine to reduce pain. He passed within a few minutes. He was ready to go. I only came on this website a week ago if that the days have morphed into one. But I want to say a big thank you to everyone who messaged me with their stories and experiences and I wish you all well x
