Question, and I'm hoping the ladies on here can help me. My husband's mother is on life support, the "kids" are fighting about keeping her on life support. Some for, some against.
Question, how long can they keep her on life support, also when the person is taken off life support how long will they "live".
All comment are appreciated.

thanks so much, she is on Medicaid so the fight is on. One brother "claims" he has power of attorney...yet no documents....and he is a con artist.....
One brother wants her taken off life support, her lungs has collapsed, swelled with fluid, heart barely beating.
Everybody is mad, some saying brother with power of attorney had her sign big insurance policies. It is a mess. I'm not saying much so I can only make my comments on here...since she is not "MY" mother.

Pneumothorax (collapsed lung) is excruciatingly painful. I hope you don't mind if I start praying for your MIL to cross over. I am so sorry that the family is extending the agony.

Ladies - I want to thank you all for comments. IT was very helpful, Ms. Bird, thanks, I am sharing your comments with my husband, but the 'con" man (brother) is in control. My husband is mad, and "luckily" we live in another state because I think this would come to blows in the hospital room.
They already don't "like" each other because this is a true case of adult abuse, this brother takes all her money, makes her pay all the bills, etc...
I'm trying to keep my husband "calm" and we will see what happens.
