Thanks Simon

We have reaslised it doesnt look good

The Doctor said his oxygen level was 90/95 and then went to 80/85 but said it needs to be 50 at the very most and his body cant really take the level that is being given

I think (as we havent heard back this evening) that his wife was called back to the hospital to make the descision to turn the Ventilator off, that does seem to be the gist of things

However there does seem to be a large negliegence part that has taken place here too from the Hospital side of things

He was left on general ward for far too long having crap (infection taken off his lungs in the ward, when he should have been in ICU, he did eventually get moved to IC once he had deteriated that bad that they had no choice

Like I say it isnt looking good, and chances are as soon as the Ventilator is turned off (may have already) he will be unable to breathe and probably pass away in minutes (if that)
