Another Janet & Keith Update

Copied from Ron's thread:

3/23 - Janet and her in-laws have not been seeing eye to eye on many things. Keith's wish was never to be on life support if there was no hope of recovery. Thus Janet gave the approval to remove it. But her in-laws said no. They now have to do "more" tests to confirm and prove once more that there is zero brain activity so the respirator can be removed!


I had always thought the spouse was the final say in these circumstances, in NY. Chat Icon

This has to be sooooo hard on all of them, but I can see his parents just want to make sure there is no chance of recovery.
This has to be soooo hard on Janet too.

As if the circumstances weren't so painful and unbelievably difficult to begin with.

His parents very well may be in denial of what the doctor's are sayingChat Icon Chat Icon It makes a tragic situation even more tragic when family members contest a health care decision.

I do not want to overstep my bounds here so I will be very generic but it appears like they want to find fault with someone and point the finger.

Re: Another Janet & Keith Update

It is such a sad thing that people have to go through such things. As soon as me and FH got engaged we have papers written up to be eachothers power of attoney. And also wrote out statements and had notarized what our wishes were. I couldn't bear to go through something like this.

I can't imagine what it is like to be in this situation. I am hoping that Keith's parents are just need a little time to sort out their feelings and do the right thing.

Can Janet afford a lawyer? Does she have anyone to advocate for her on the legal side?
