Intensive Care
Danilo is comforted by family members as they provide support. The overhead lighting in reflected by the oxygen tube at the level of the subjects face. His outstretched hand on the pillow is especially expressive. The members surrounding the patient are wearing scrubs and blue gloves that add color to the otherwise somber hospital surroundings in the intensive care unit.
Goodbye
He was on palliative care, only oxygen and pain medication to keep him comfortable. Except for a brief moment of recognition later that Saturday, he was already gone. His heart stopped at 5:15am this morning, December 1, 2008, after prolonged illness.
