Thank you everyone. Wow. What a day. Where do I start?
Well...on the way to the hospital, they called and told us that he herniated the second part of his lower half of the brain, so he was officially 100% brain dead. So, he was definitely going off of life support.
So, we arrive at the hospital, and lo and behold, there are 10 fire trucks there, all the news channels, and the freaking hospital is evacuated. You could smell the smoke, but you couldn't see it. It was weird because there were all kinds of patients in beds out in the parking lots.
So anyways, we find the family, and they were frantic because Guy's mom had just signed the papers to pull the plug. We couldn't find Debbie anywhere, so we figured she was with Guy. We were so worried that Guy was going to go before we could say our goodbyes. We were evacuated from the hospital from about 11am until about 2:30pm.
So, we got back in there, it stunk like a chemical fire, but there was no obvious damage, so we didn't really know what happened. They had fans set up throughout the hospital trying to blow out the smell, it was sickening. I don't know what had happened, I'm waiting for it to come on the news tonight. I suspect it wasn't something major, but they had to take precautions.
So, then we all go into the waiting room. We started making a list on who was going to see Guy when to try to keep some order to the chaos.
Then, the surgeon comes out and tells us that Guy was murdered! He said that the trauma isn't consistent with a fall, it is more consistent with a 2x4 or a bat to the head. And he has a fat lip like he was punched in the lip. He said that if he'd fallen, he'd have road rash, dirty clothes, etc...Not to mention the scooter was found on it's kickstand undamaged.
So, drama! His thuggish friends all started talking about revenge, mom and grandma collapsed, etc... We're imagining what happened is that someone confronted Guy because of his noisy scooter at 12am. Him being an obnoxious drunk, he probably became rude and angry and one thing led to another. I'm confident that justice will be served because I'm sure someone bragged about beating up some big guy. Word will get out.
So, once that drama settled down, we got back to saying our goodbyes. Then the donor guy came. He said that if we wait until tomorrow (Monday), that there will be more lives saved. So, to make a long story short, Monday he will be taken off of life support.
The beautiful thing is that he has 18 donors and the list is possibly growing. His eyes, heart, liver, lungs....everything will be donated. Even his skin is going to some severely burned children. My aunt gets to know about each and every person he saves. She is making a biography about Guy for the recipients.
I am very at peace with all this. I think it is beautiful that so many people will be saved because of this. I told my Aunt that she can rest assured that there are parents out there that will be spared the heartache she experienced because of his organs.
Anyways, I'm tired, so I hope I'm making sense. Thank you for your support.
