4:45 am phone call

The phone rang at 4:45 this morning. It was Donnann with an update for me. Actually in moment it was all too much and she handed the phone to Jennifer, a dear friend who was able to give me more information. I am SO grateful to Jennifer for being there.

They are beginning the process to officially declare Danny brain dead. There is one final test that will be performed today. They will be doing organ donation and that is going to take a day or two to get everything organized. Her dear mom is still on the road to get out there. Please pray for her continued safe travels. As of 4 am she is in Colorado.

A child life specialist is with the family. Knowing a CLS personally, I can not tell you how much comfort this brings me. They are making molds of his hands and doing other things so there are keepsakes for the family.

Madison, dear sweet Madison, is angry. She just want them to wake Danny up. Please keep her and Dan (Danny's dear Dad) in your prayers.

There will be fund raising going on. I will have details of that very soon. The fund will be called Danny's Gift.

Please pray for them, for Donnann, Dan, Madison, their families and their dear freinds taht are there with them.

This is one of those things that make you really look hard at yourself as a mom and ask - am I making the most of and treasuring every moment or am I wasting precious time? I am so sorry for you and your friends and the nightmare they are living. I called just now and put their names on the Redlands Temple prayer list. I do not know what faith they are so hopefully that was an okay thing to do. Please let me know if you need anything. I'm so sorry. My son is confused as to why I am crying so hard. I can not imagine what it would be like to go through this. I'll pray for your strength to be increased and emotions to be lighter too.

Love,
