greyhead Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Hope you can see Duke more often now that they're letting you. He needs to know you're still in the picture so he has a reason to fight on. You are much loved, Duke, by your family and far and wide! Quote Mary with Jumper Jack (2/17/11) and angels Shane (PA's Busta Rime, 12/10/02 - 10/14/16) and Spencer (Dutch Laser, 11/25/00 - 3/29/13).

Victor Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Duke passed away this morning at 6am. At 4:10am they called because his heart rate was over 200 and they thought he might go into cardiac arrest. We went over and sat with him for about half an hour while they administered more plasma. He seemed to be doing better so they had us go home. The plan was to meet again at 8am. Shortly before 6am Duke started having trouble breathing again and then his heart rate slowed and stopped. We rushed over but we were too late to be with him. Thank you again for all your support and prayers. I cannot describe how much we miss Duke. He was the happiest boy you can imagine. He loved to sing and talk, and he spent nearly every waking moment with his mommy. They were inseparable. We had four precious years with him. Please hug your greys for us. Victor, Shihmei, and Joy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
