A member asked:
My dad is on ventilator, fluid, pneumonia, what to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Expectant waiting: Leave it to the health care practitioners and if you believe in prayers do so. Keep yourself strong so others will do the same. Talk to your dad even if sleeping, he may hear you and have more strength. Talk to the doctors and nurses and be updated time and again.
