My father had a cerebellum stroke while recovering from a tumor operation. He is awake, can move his limbs, can write with some difficulty, and is breathing on his own through a trache. My step mother wants to terminate his feeding and hydration because she believes he doesn't want to live like this and his hopes for recovery are slim. He wrote a liveing will which appointed our stepmother as Power of attorney, and states that he doesn't want to be on life support for more than 96 hours. My brother, sister and I all feel that she is over reacting, that she is emotionally unstable, and that she is thinking more of herself, because she does not want to go on caring and worrying about him and does not want to deal with having to take care of him even if he gets out fo the hospital. We all feel his chances for recovery to at least a semi-independent state are fairly good, its only been 2.5 months and everything I've read said recovery can take years. We are having a family meeting with the doctors and staff on Monday to discuss all this. HAs anyone been through anything liek this and/or knows what rights we have as children, and advice on what we can do?
