From the image in the linked tweet: “I had a long and informative meeting with Greg's care team this afternoon: neurologist, critical cardiac care doctor, surgeon, and palliative care team. The neurologist showed me the MRI images and carefully explained the range of impacts to expect from the many areas of stroke damage in many parts of the brain. Even if he returned to consciousness, and they feel this is highly unlikely, he would probably need 24 hour care and be limited in his cognitive and communication abilities, as well as many other issues. This is not the life he wants to lead, and the conversation we had and his advance directive were both very clear on this. These were a final gift from Greg, and I am confident in making this decision now that he is unable to express his wishes. So we will be removing life support, tomorrow or Sunday, after the kids and I have another chance to spend time with him, with more holding hands and expressing love. Once that is done, they will keep him pain free and calm, and his passing will be peaceful. I will spare you daily updates until that time, but know that I'll be there as much as I can, as he journeys to the undiscovered country. Thank you for all your love and support. They mean a lot, and I've shared your messages with him.” (Astrid Bear)
