Mommy Resting in my Intensive Care Unit. They don't allow beds so
this chair is as comfy as you can get!

This is me with all my medical stuff. My mom and dad know what all
it does...and wish they don't. Even so I was pretty comfy because people were always
playing with me and reading me books and moving me around. |
Here I am the night before I passed away. See, I'm smiling at my
mommy around the tube. |
This is the last photo taken of me. Somehow my mommy knew she needed
to take these pictures on this day. I'm waving again; maybe waving goodby to my mom.

Do not end here. Go back, look at the other
photos of his life, and remember the 13 great months we all had with him.
I added these photos for one main reason.
I want to show you Devon's indomitable
spirit. He was hooked up to every machine known to man, yet continued to smile and
wave and be perfectly content even to the day he died. He rarely got fussy and he
was always patient, even smiling at the Nurses, Respiratory Therapists and Doctors who
came in to visit him. He was a favorite on the ICU floor and when he died, every
doctor, nurse, and therapist was crying along with us. Devon's last breaths were on
my shoulder, looking at his father; still content and at peace. He was as close to a
perfect child as I think I will ever see on this earth. He truly was our angel.
