Hi Everyone,
Some of you know that we are going to China this summer. We have been given this amazing opportunity to take Austin to China to get stem cells. It has been a dream of mine for a long time. I did not think we would ever be given this opportunity but thank God we are! I did a lot of praying and asked God for much guidance on this and I feel like this is something we are supposed to do. I just pray that we made the right decision. Austin and I will be leaving June 10 on Darrin’s b-day. We will fly from St. Louis to LAX and then into Korean and then Qingdao, China. It will be a very long trip. We were hoping to take the girls but that part did not work out. The girls will stay here with Darrin and many of our family members. We could not do this without our families. I am so sad about leaving the girls. I have never left them for very long. This will be the hardest part in all of this. Please pray that Abby and Amber have a great time and are good while I am gone. This will be hard for them.
Thanks for all of your support and prayers – they mean so much. Please keep Austin extra in your prayers this summer. We are praying for good improvements for him. We are hoping we might get some relief from his seizures and gain some strength in his body. A great miracle would be if he could be able to understand some of what his eyes see. We would be so thrilled if he could look at us and smile in response to our smiles. We will of course take any improvements for him that we can get.
Feel free to add Austin to any prayer chain or anyone who might be willing to pray for him!
Austin and I will be gone June 10 – July 13. We hope you have a fabulous summer!!
