| Gorgeous George |
As some of you may know, the reason for the sudden holt in the ART series was that when we got to Yosemite, our gorgeous George stopped breathing. His heart stopped. We did CPR and called 911 who were remarkably responsive. They managed to stabilise him and get to the local hospital before he was airlifted to Modesto hospital where he had the most attentive and professional care we could have hoped for.
But after three days on life support, it became apparent that our beautiful boy was not going to wake up. He passed away on Sunday afternoon, September 30th, 2012.
I'd like to thank Ginny in particular, the amazing ICU (Intensive Care Unit) nurse and Mark, the respiratory guru for holding our hand throughout. Also ICU nurse Rachel, the understanding soul who wrangled Sass.
We held the celebration of George's life on Friday and I wanted to share the video my friend Sarah pulled together from family photos that captured him so extraordinarily well.
Like his sister Jaz, had he lived forever, we couldn't have loved him more.
