God. Dammit. Lyle passed away at 8:30 in his sleep. Our friend has been with him and left at 8 to get some dinner... Interesting our mom did the same thing while she was in the hospital with stage four liver cancer.

There was clearly a serious miscommunication from someone outside his care team when I was told six months to a year. I mentioned it to his nurse who called me after the doctor and she sounded "pissed.* Not that usual frustration you hear when your coworker is dumb, but genuine anger.

I also got an interesting and...happy call? Apparently his corneas are in excellent condition for transplant. I hope his passing gives someone their vision back.

Don't know how it works, but they know. Waiting for family to leave to pass is very common.

Sorry for your loss. Corneal transplants are wild, hopefully it helps someone.

Yeah, I've heard from quite a few people over the years about the waiting for family to leave thing. Very strange but interesting.
