Lets hope for more of the same and a recovery.

A week after being told to say goodbye to him, he's still here defying the odds.
Still heavily sedated in ICU, he has a number of serious issues, but I do believe where there is life there is hope.
When I talk to him it seems to make him restless and agitated though. I feel like I'm upsetting him. :(
Wow, your dad is one tough bloke! Absolutely, where there is life. Doctors don't know everything and don't get it all right. Look at the people who have been in comas for years with their families told there is no chance for them to wake up or the people told they will never walk again and yet they are walking marathons for charity!
I would have thought you could only bring him comfort in talking to him. Maybe he is fighting against the sedation to be able to communicate back, I don't know, I just wouldn't think it would be anything but good for you to be talking to him.

You would not be upsetting him Worried Male.
My Mum was not coherent a few days ago and although she knew I was there, she didn't really understand what was going on around her.
I think you are being very brave and strong, but you must take time for yourself to rest. You are going through every emotion here, so make sure you get plenty of sleep to be able to cope with it all. x
I,m so sorry.
He finally lost his battle today. It's not quite sunk in yet.
Hey I am so so sorry X
So sorry to hear about your Dad. I hope these past few weeks when you have been with him will be a comfort to you x
Sincere condolences at your time of loss. x
I'm so grateful I got an extra few weeks with him. I got to tell him I loved him and thank him for everything he's done for me. Not many people get to do that, so I'm grateful.
I'm obviously upset, but relieved at the same time. He wasn't happy. He was uncomfortable, in pain and he had lost his freedom; which he hated more than anything.
I know everyone says this about their dad, but he was truly the best man I knew. So selfless and would do anything for his 2 sons. If I am half the dad he was to my children, I'll be happy.
Thank you all for your kind words throughout this ordeal. They've given me comfort in difficult times.
