trach/peg tube?

thanks for the replys.The Dr. came in yesterday and took one look at Luke and he said , this is a very sick man. uh duh.. The game plan is to wait until sometimes next week and then see how Luke is doing.. They have been trying to decrease the vent
He (Luke) just stares at me.. no sign now of who I am or anything.
The Dr. said if not more headway, he is thinking about putting in a trach and put in a peg tube for his nutritional status.
I know my husband (of 26 years), does NOT want this done.I am lukewarm on the idea myself.
This news today is causing confusion among the family.I am so, so tired.. I think I will try to catch a small nap..
thanks to all who replyed and even to those who didn't. I serve a miracle working God and I believe he will show what has to be done.

I left his room , thinking HOW I have to handle this situation.
