I think you made the right choice. Our 24 year old daughter suffered cardiac arrest due to an Addisonian Crisis. She has a rare autoimmune condition called Addison's Disease. She was ( unbeknownst to us) without a pulse for 30+ minutes yet they revived her in the trauma room. Now, 69 days later she is in a subacute care facility after weeks on life support. She still can not swallow, eat, speak or walk. It's like she will remain mentally disabled as well. In her opinion from our previous talks, this is not quality of life. A life in diapers, skin sores, infections, being propped up day after day for people to smile and say " Oh but she's alive" NO, that's cruel.
