Hi and welcome to HCM.
As a specialist,i can understand your anxiety.
You should've written his age and present treatment being received.
Anyway,your dad has a multi-organ systemic failure,according to you.
Now one needs to see all the blood reports and present condition on ventilator,to be able to give an expert opinion.
You may send all the reports to me as a direct question,in my name.
