She got her neck line out this morning which hurt , but now that it is out, it is much better. We are waiting for a dr to get the chest tubes out. This will be a painful process (pray) but we are told that it will help her pain a lot once they are out. We are supposed to move out of ICU to the step-down unit this evening. That will be better.
We have been face timing with Malakai who is at Brian's sister's house in Nashville. He is doing very well. We miss him, but at the same time are so glad he isn't here yet. He comes on Monday with our brother-in-law.
While while we are here supporting Aubrey, my mom, aunt, brother and his family are all in Seattle with my dad. Thursday, My dad was in Seattle having his last chemo treatment for stage 4 lung cancer and had a seizure. It turns out this was caused by new tumors in his brain. He is stable and in the hospital. They are hoping/planning to treat with radiation at this point. It is so hard to not be there to support them, but I know I need to be here for Aubrey.
Life does not seem to go as we dream or plan, but this world is not out home. We are so thankful we have hope for a future with no more tears no more pain no more sickness. And we are filled with Joy and gratitude. Thank you for praying. Thank you for supporting us. Here are a couple pics from today.

Hi Bucks!
Your comment about life not going as planned sparked my comment. Don't know if you heard that Kyle is forced to take a medical retirement from the Air Force due to his hereditary blood clotting disorder. Talk about life not going as planned!
When browsing the internet a few weeks ago Kyle came across a new Stephen Curtis Chapman song, "Glorious Unfolding." Here are the lyrics that have meant so much to him these last months.
"Lay your head down tonight
Take a rest from the fight
Don’t try to figure it out
Just listen to what I’m whispering to your heart
‘Cause I know this is not
Anything like you thought
The story of your life was gonna be
And it feels like the end has started closing in on you
But it’s just not true
There’s so much of the story that’s still yet to unfold
And this is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
You’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding
God’s plan from the start
For this world and your heart
Has been to show His glory and His grace
Forever revealing the depth and the beauty of
His unfailing Love
And the story has only begun
And this is going to be a glorious unfolding
Just you wait and see and you will be amazed
We’ve just got to believe the story is so far from over
So hold on to every promise God has made to us
And watch this glorious unfolding
We were made to run through fields of forever
Singing songs to our Savior and King
So let us remember this life we’re living
Is just the beginning of the beginning
Of this glorious unfolding
We will watch and see and we will be amazed
If we just keep on believing the story is so far from over
And hold on to every promise God has made to us
We’ll see the glorious unfolding
Just watch and see (unfolding)
This is just the beginning of the beginning (unfolding)"
Our prayers are with you as you watch the glorious unfolding of your family's His-story.
We continue to pray and are very much looking forward to seeing you today!
Praying for your family, Julie! I'm sorry to hear about your dad having seizures. I hope that the radiation treatments are successful for him. Lots of love.
