Unexpected Delay

They didn't pull the plug on my Dad's ventilator yesterday as I had been told they would. They are doing it today at 4:00 PM. They say he may linger for minutes or days. No way of knowing. He will be on oxygen, and he has a strong heart. They are also taking him off meds. He is in a medically induced coma right now. I hope he doesn't wake before he goes.
I want to thank all the well wishers. I am not going to reply to each and every one of them, but I read them all and deeply appreciate the thoughts behind them all. *Hugs for all*

I hope that your dad remains unconscious when they take him off the ventilator, and that he goes quickly and peacefully.

I hope that your father goes peacefully and without any complications that would cause both of you too much discomfort in an already trying time.
You have many friends here to support you. We will all be here for you.
It will hurt when he passes, but he will always have a special place in your heart. There he will spend the rest of time reminding you of the great moments you two had together.
Spend this time with him, taking care of him during his final moments, then take some time to take care of yourself and mend.
Hugs to you, friend. My thoughts are with you and your father.
