Wes & Gigi are still staying strong but I know that his news must be heartbreaking for them. It hasn't really hit me yet. The other kids are still in a somewhat state of shock and I don't think its sunken in yet for any of us. There's more I want to say but my mind is in a fog.
Please keep us in your prayers as today will be difficult, life-changing, and a day we will probably never forget.
4:00 pm: I'm a little late on my news but here's the latest update from Wes' facebook.
Okay, today will probably be Cindy's last day on earth. I don't have words to tell you how much I love her and how proud I am of her. God has blessed us with so many blessings, stories and adventures. In our living room there is a sign that sums up our lives together; it simply says, "Forever, For Always, No Matter What." Today is part of the . . ."No Matter What." Once again we are drawn to scripture, and I think Cindy would give this as her testimony today. " For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the course, I have kept the faith; in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.
I know that sometime later today, I will post that she is gone, and I have no idea how empty that will make me fill. Thank you all for living through this chapter of our lives with us. I will probably need you more in the days to come, than these days, but don't grieve for Cindy--she will not be here. . .and that brings me joy. As she says, "God is good all the time and all the time God is good." Cindy is soon to receive the greatest promotion and commendation of her life. She will have a better home, a better family, a better body, and a better inheritance. Thank you again for your love for her and for my family. We are blessed. Wes
9:00 pm: Gigi is still holding on. Wes has decided to keep her intubated and pretty strongly sedated. She can't talk but she can write notes and spell out letters on a hand. The way they have her set up will make for an easier passing and keep her as comfortable as possible up to that point. Nicole has flown back down to Houston to be there. I'm not sure what friends are left but I know that there have been more visitors throughout the day to share their love with Gigi for the last time. I hear that there are doctors who are amazed by the outpouring of love that our family is being given. They said they rarely see this amount of visitors to a patient and such a strong family. That just shows, once again, what an awesome couple Wes & Cindy are. I'm so incredibly blessed to be in their family.

Cindy is still holding on. We have chosen to make her as comfortable as possible, so she has a stomach tube and a breathing tube. This will probably lengthen the process by a little, but it will make for considerably less drama. Carol Bruntz takes care of putting interesting little messages on our church sign, and not too long ago had one that said something like, "Friendship divides sorrow and multiplies joy." Thank you for bearing much of our burden during this time. I continue to read your posts to Cindy and it brings such joy to her heart. If you have a "remember when. . ." event that involves her and is not to long, please send it. It's a lot of fun to see her smile. You can post it for everyone or send us a private message, thanks for loving us. Wes
