I just started reading this thread. It is very heartbreaking. I can empathize with a lot of the struggles your family has been going through. Before my father passed almost two years ago, he was in many long term care facilities and had a few hospital stays after having a major stroke in 2009. It was always frustrating when he did not receive the care he needed. My mom was able to bring him home and take care of him full time, but that was not easy on her. She did that for about 8 years. My dad could not walk or speak more than 1 or 2 words at a time and was paralyzed on his right side. We hoped for a miracle early on, but his progress hit a wall and that was that. I think he was so discouraged that he kind of gave up. I truly hope that Dom continues to fight and will end up having some quality of life going forward. Prayers to you and your family.
