Head of Neonatalogy spoke to us and reiterated Charlene’s poor prognosis. He said that Charlene most likely cannot walk and may not recognize parents cos her brain is severely damaged. The plan is to take Charlene off the respirator. However, we needed to decide – if Charlene cannot breathe on her own, do we leave her in comfort care (to make her comfy and let nature take its course ) or put her back on the respirator (aggressively trying to save her). The doctors recommend that based on her poor prognosis, if she cannot breathe on her own, it is better to leave her in comfort care. I did not know which decision to take but Dez was confident that Charlene can breathe on her own and the decision is irrelevant. Anyway, cos I was worried if Charlene can breathe on her own, we prayed to God for signs.
