Kevin,
I am praying. Your post moves me. I believe doctors dislike the medical
legalese as much as you do. However the litigious nature of our society
(U. S.) has pressured them into doing "all the rights stuff" to cover
their own backsides--and that of hospitals. Not exactly something we
want to deal with when our loved one is lying there gravely ill. Is this
not symptomatic of the post-modern society?
Your Dad's condition does appear to be in God's hands. I will continue
to pray in these days of agony for you and your family. Knowing God is
powerful and can do anything is easy, but knowing His will, how to pray,
when to hold on and when to let go is ever so difficult.

This verse tells me where you are in submission to God. I am with you:
>Pray for us while we're there. And if you'd

In Christ Jesus,
