Steelers, I am going through The EXACT same thing right now! Dont know what to do

4 days ago i got a call that my brother was in the hospital on life support. after coming down to Tucson AZ, I found out that it was a heroin overdose. The doctors are telling me that there is NO hope for him. they said that when the emt showed up there was no heartbeat and it took 10 minutes of cpr to recover one. They have no idea how long he had been without oxygen. The brain scans show a very small amount of brain activity. They have brought in the organ donor team to talk to me and my family. which I was going with until i started reading more about whether it was possible for him to make a recovery. I know my brother would not want to live in a vegetative state. but if he was able to live (even if it was disabled) Then i DO NOT WANT to take him off of support. i noticed your post was from years ago... can u give me an update
