More details to this question:
Can I, I being the daughter, override his sister having this power. I am being left out of being informed of his condition. I do not want to change any decisions that have been made because he is in his final stages of life (COVID-19 & brain issues). They have a DNR in place and he is in awful condition (I went and saw him last Saturday) but I would like to be kept up to date on my fathers condition because his sister just tells me what she want me to know. Please help me, this is my father and he does not have long to live.

The Medical Power of Attorney governs, You cannot override it. But your father may name you in a HIPAA Medical Information Release, allowing you to receive information from his medical care providers.
