We were camping in the Canadian Rockies and having a great time. He was feeling good, swimming in a mountain lake, hiking on a glacier, etc. We were tent camping, enjoying being together. Lev didn't feel so good going to bed the 4th night, at Lake Louise in Banff. He went to bed a little early, not eating much dinner. He was fine when I got in the tent at 10:30, telling me I was making too much noise - just being himself. Around dawn he was having a fitful sleep, talking to Isaiah, a talking game in his sleep. Then, he started having seizures. We called an ambulance and we went to the hospital. His vitals were normal, but he wouldn't wake up in between the seizures. As we got close to the hospital his lungs filled with fluid and then he stopped breathing. As they stabilized him in one way, his heart failed. They tried hard to save him and had a helicopter ready to fly him to Calgary. He never stabilized, and as we looked on, we lost him forever. It was hard to believe, and still is. We had great days together and a great life together. We will miss him dearly. The loss is deeper than I thought possible.
Thank you for keeping us in your thoughts these days.
