Thank you all. It went quick, they started morphine, slowed the machines and turned everything off. His heart and breathing stopped in about 10 minutes and he finally passed at 245. We’re waiting now while they get all the lines unhooked and clean him up. The doper family support has meant a lot to me. ---
