On November 1st, while he was sleeping, Vincent chocked on some mucus in his throat, which made him vomit, and he ended up aspirating. A week late, he started bringing up mucus from his lungs, and this soon deteriorated into a pneumonia. At first, the main issue was that the mucus coming from his lungs prevented Vincent from swallowing properly. He therefore started to lose weight and energy. We finally decided to insert a naso-gastric tube so that we could force feed him, to help him gain some weight and have enough energy to fight the pneumonia. Althought the feedings did help with his weight, Vincent kept on getting weaker and weaker. It became too much. Way too much. Even for Vincent who fought and defyied his illness with such strenght and determination. Vincent left us, like a flame running out of air. He was at home, surrounded by love and by his parents, he didn't suffer, he was peaceful. He just left his body that had become a prison for the past 9 months, and regained his liberty.

Mr. and Mrs. Aumais,
I'am so sorry for your loss. I wish I would have known sooner. I just read it in todays Press republican. I was so sadden and was remembering all the good times at St. Augustines. I was so blest to have found this on line. I didn't know how to get in touch with you. What a brave battle you have all fought. I will always remember his beautiful smile and that twinkle in his eyes. I wish I could be there for you in these next few days, but know that my heart and thought and prayers are with you and Thierry and Anka.I have that little French and English dictionary that you gave me and I will cherish it always. I wish I could have prayed sooner for Vincent, but will pray for all of you now.You were such a wonderful family and you all touched my heart so much. I was blest to have had you in my life. Thank-you for sharing the boys with me. All my love, Miss Julie
