So much ~ma, Dad of JZ!
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I don't think cognitive function is an issue at all--during the few times he's been even a little awake, he's been as sharp as ever. The issue is that his lungs are damaged enough that any recovery is going to be slow and not full, and if there's a catastrophic event like a cardiac arrest they may feel that his physical systems are compromised enough that no good outcome is possible.
His girlfriend feels strongly that he would want everything done as long as there's better than zero chance, and based on what I know of his terror of mortality I don't think she's wrong. I just don't know if the hospital staff will be willing to put themselves at the additional risk that invasive procedures might put them at.
But for right this minute he's stable-ish. Not good, but steady. I need to take a nap.

Lung~ma for JZ's dad. It must be so hard to not be there. Of course most of our hospitals aren't allowing any visitors anyway.
