Yesterday was probably the saddest day of my life. First of all, we were told last week that Celes had severe brain damage and that she wouldn't live much longer, and if she did live a little longer, it would be on a respirator. So, Kim and I decided that we would just pull her oxygen before that ever happened and let her go as naturally as possible. After about 3 or 4 hours of her struggling to keep alive, we decided to pull the trach to make it quicker for her. After that, her heartbeat was constantly stopping. However, she somehow kept managing to come back. After about the second time this happened, the doctor said she was more than likely brain dead by then. So, we watched her slowly die for about 7 hours. She finally passed away at 8:00 PM on Tuesday, June 17. She was 9 lb 9 oz. The funeral will be in a couple of days. She is greatly missed and she was loved greatly by Kim, myself, and all of our family.
