My father gravely ill :-(

My father has been in the hospital now for about 2 weeks with pneumonia. Yesterday we were called to a family meeting with his doctors where they informed us that they had tried all conventional methods to cure him, but he wasn't responding to the medication. So there was only one option left, where they would put a scope down into his lungs and take samples and clear the airways. This could make him better and give them the neccessary information about what bacteria/fungus/sumpthing was causing the pneumonia. But it could also make him worse. And the narcosis could also kill him. So we had to make a decision: would we allow resucitation ? The meeting was a great shock to us all, even if we did see that our father wasn't getting better. Today he had the operation and we are feeling moderately optimistic. He was looking better, although he was in a bad mood. The next few day will tell.... We just hope for the best outcome.
