Since you guys are all posting here, I will try to describe what came down today.
He had been having a lot of trouble breathing this past month which continued to get worse. Last night, he couldn't lay down because he couldn't breathe, he couldn't relax despite the super strong drugs he was given. By three in the morning, I knew we needed something more, so I called the Hospice nurse. She came and gave him a cocktail of drugs and begged him to relax... and he did. He went to sleep and never woke up again, he died about 10 hours later, having a very peaceful rest of the night and into the next day.
His oldest brother was visiting with his daughter! His other brother drove into town today because he had some things to drop off at our house. One of his nieces was in town for a family visit and another niece brought her over. His nephew from Hawaii, and wife were there too. No one (except maybe me and my sons who have been watching him closely) knew that he was dying ... They were all there when he died. My son had put some music on, one of my husband's favorite CDs (JP Fraley) and he died during that CD with such a huge part of his family right there in the room. I was sitting there noticing how he was slowing down through one of our favorite sons ("our song") It was truly amazing.

I got an email from the Swedish foundation, 103 people have donated 6200 dollars ... and then his last wish, that his body be used for science? THey came and took him.. He is now at the UW Medical Training hospital. (he got to go to med school!!!)

I still can't believe it. I miss him terribly but I am glad he exited that broken old body. Thanks for listening.
