Almighty and Eternal God, You are the everlasting health of those who believe in You.
Hear us for Your sick servant Maddie for whom we implore the aid of Your tender mercy, that being restored to bodily health, she may give thanks to You in Your Church.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen

This is directly from Andy. We don't know how we are going to get through this but I can say with the prophet Job, "Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him." We know that our God is in control and while we don't understand at all why this is happening we can trust in Him. Thank you all for praying for our family, don't stop. Not sure how we are going to get through the rest of life without our little ray of sunshine. And we are concerned about how our younger children are going to handle this.

Love to all,
Erna


We received some very bad news this morning.

Maddie didn't improve at all last night after they stopped the sedatives. This morning they performed a brain stem test to see if her brain stem was reacting, and all parts of the test failed.

They're going to be sending her for a brain flow test this afternoon to see if there is any blood flow to the brain. Then they'll perform the same brain stem test again this evening or tomorrow morning.

After these two confirming tests, we'll have to remove Maddie from life support at some point.

We don't really know what to say. Please remember our whole family at this time. I'm very numb right now and Linda is taking it very hard.

We really appreciate everyone's prayers and support.

Love,
Andy & Linda

I don't know who maddie is, but I can tell you that after reading this, everything in my life that seems off, or wrong or not going the way I'd like seems pretty immaterial.

May god bless you and your entire family.

Our little Maddie was called home to heaven tonight at 6pm. There are so many words to say, and we'll have plenty of time for them. For now please just remember our family in prayer.

Love,
Erna and Doug

I'm so sorry Erna. I've been thinking of Maddie and your family all day. You will all continue to be in our thoughts and prayers. I wish there was something comforting I could say but I know there is not. Sending you many hugs.
