But First: Antoinette's Speedy Recovery
The photographic timeline above is not merely a record of improvement; it is direct evidence contradicting the official narratives used to justify Antoinette's sedation and starvation. When provided with consistent nutrition, hydration, and dignified care, she rapidly regained cognitive function, the ability to feed herself, and a peaceful demeanor.
This swift recovery proves that the claims of 'aggression' and being a 'shell' were fabrications designed to mask neglect. The family's current decision to re-sedate her is not a response to her condition, but a conscious choice to resume the very process of terminal decline that this recovery so clearly interrupts.
