Catherine and I have heavy hearts today. This is a post that I never even wanted to think about putting on the blog. Ryan suffered a significant amount of brain injury during this trauma. We have struggled the past couple of days as we have learned the extent of these injuries.
We expect that he will return to his Heavenly Father within the next day or two. The Lord has blessed us with peace to know that Ryan has completed his work on this earth. Now he is needed on the other side of the veil.
Words cannot express the appreciation that we have felt for all of those who have helped us through this difficult time. Thank you to everyone who has assisted, offered assistance or just offered words of support. Also a huge thank you to all of Ryan's angels in hospital scrubs who have taken care of him and bonded with him during this difficult time. They have also buoyed our spirits and we have come to love and appreciate them.

Count Your Blessings
I don't have any updates on Ryan's condition, but I do have a few words I'd like to share with anyone reading the blog. Tonight, if you don't mind, I'd like to offer a few thoughts I had as we visited with Ryan's family and caretakers at Primary Children's.
This week at the hospital, they're celebrating Nurses week. I imagine the Nursing job description allows them to provide comfort to those who stand in need of comfort and to be angels among us. Today, I got the opportunity to stand for a time amongst the angels who are watching over Ryan. His caregivers at the hospital along with his family and friends are outstanding in caring for Ryan and providing the support and comfort he and his family need at this critical time.
When I arrived home tonight, and held our two month old son in my arms, I wondered what trials he might have to face and my heart reaches out to the Lott family. I hope we can count the many blessings we have been given in our lives and then act to help the lives of others who may need a little help.
If you haven't read the posting about the fundraisers below, please take a look and if you feel so inclined, please donate. We should have something online soon as well, especially for those who will not be able to attend.
Thanks again,
Luke
