According to the video and the memorial page for Ashley Picco, Lennon’s lack of movement and brain activity was a constant concern for the doctors and nurses at Loma Linda University Hospital.
During the pregnancy, Ashley would often feel Lennon moving to music so Chris asked if he could bring his guitar into the NICU and play for Lennon, which he did for several hours during the last days of Lennon’s life. One day after filming this, Lennon went to sleep in his daddy’s arms.
