This afternoon we got a phone call from FI's brother about his dad. Apparently last night his dad stopped breathing. It took them 45 minutes to resuscitate him. He is still unconscious and on a ventilator. The Dr's are in doubt as to whether or not he will regain consciousness have cautioned us that if he does he will likely be in a vegetative state. His mom has already decided that if that is what happens she will stop life support. Fi's dad has been in poor health bc of diabetes heart disease since I was pregnant with out first daughter 9 years ago. He had both his legs amputated over the last 2 years bc of complications from diabetes. We were still thinking he would be at our wedding in July though. Just in the last month his health has dramatically declined. I'm not close to Fi's family at all but our daughters are I have no idea what/how to tell them. They know he is really sick but I don't know how to tell them when he passes. : I also have no idea how I'm going to handle FI's mom at the wedding. I know she is going to be an absolute disaster understandably. I'm sure she is going to start sobbing in the middle if the wedding. I feel like a jerk for being worried about it but I am. I feel awful for my Fi. He isn't a real openly emotional guy but I know he is really upset. I can't even imagine. The thought of losing one if my parents is terrifying so I'm sure he is devastated. I'm heartbroken for my girls too. My 4 year old will probably barely remember FI's dad bc he has been away in assisted care in another city for half her life. : Sorry to be a downer. I just needed to vent.
