Time line

Our social worker was with us at Canuck Place. She took a LOT of pictures of the whole process of what happened the day Trevor died. I'm finding it comforting to see the times the various pictures were taken. They show how quickly he started to be uncomfortable and have trouble with breathing after the tube was removed. I'll share some of them here.

This first picture is of the tube being removed. It was exactly 1:15



This was taken at about 1:16. He looks happy and relaxed.












This was taken at 1:18, just 3 minutes after the tube was removed. This is his sign he's uncomfortable.














This was taken at 1:19, just 4 minutes after the tube came out.

Just a minute later, the morphine he was given has started to work.

At 1:21, just 6 minutes after the tube came out. He's asleep. He stayed that way the rest of the time.

2:21, he's gone.

I had my arm around him the whole time with his head nestled against my shoulder which is how he liked to be held.

Seeing this time line I realize how weak he was and how little time he managed to be comfortable without the tube for the ventilator. But at least we gave him a chance off of it and some time able to move his tongue and be relaxed. Then we left it up to Trevor and God and God told him it was time to come Home.
