No More Life Support

Over the weekend it sounded like there was some misunderstandings or miscommunication with the nurse as she thought Lyle had problems with his lungs and medicated according to her understanding... the doctor indicated that was not the case the next morning.  It is discouraging when Dr. Stark is out for the weekend because the tone of things seem to be different.  I understand from friends here that are in the nursing business it's kind of the nature of the hospital world, for things to be put on hold and have a little different tone over the weekends.

Today Dr. Stark encouraged the family to let Lyle go.  Lyle is showing signs of pneumonia and an elevated temperature of 102 degrees.  After getting in touch with Tony and discussing things, the decision has been made to take all forms of life support off of Lyle and let nature takes it’s course.  This was done around 4:30.  They will sedate him to keep him from feeling pain.  Dr. Stark said it could take between 3 and 10 days for him to pass on.  Betty stated in a text that the Forsyth’s were there for support during this time, which is much appreciated.  We are grateful for all the support of the church community.
