So much has happened in the last week, I don't even know where to begin.
Austin has gone to be with Jesus and his mom. He was announced brain dead on Wednesday, and his body was finally shut down on Friday after he was able to donate 7 organs so other kids would be able to live. He is a hero, and it is amazing to see how God is working through this already. I know that this is what I am going to have to tell my kids on Wednesday, and I know it's true, but it is going to be so hard to face my kids, talk about this, and not cry.
Summer and Tia are doing as good as can be expected. Both are still in medicated comas, but hopefully Summer will be coming out soon, and then Tia not too long after. Dad is facing surgeries aggressively so that way he can be there for his daughters.
Tonight was another hard night, as a mom who was able to be there with Austin all week told us all about it. It was a great therapy session and I know that we are all going to be effected by this for quite some time.
Once again Im' asking for your prayers for myself, our school, our staff, the Crane family, and our school families. We are all going through this together, and are all trying to figure out what we can do to help. If you feel led to help prayers are much appreciated, and soon I believe there will be a link on our school website so that way you can donate money to help with medical bills. I don't even want to think about how much their medical bills will be once they are all recovered.
Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. We miss and love you all!

Cassandra, I am so sorry to hear this - but, you are right. That boy is truly a hero. It breaks my heart to hear the story. I know God will use you this year to care for and show compassion to the kiddos in your classroom who will be dealing with grief in their own way. You are a truly gifted teacher, and those children are blessed to have you in their lives. Ben and I will continue to keep the girls in our prayers.
