Kyle's friend died a few hours after my last post. I wish I could understand enough to help others understand "what" or "why" or "how could this..." but I don't understand.
I only have questions. Questions that will probably never be answered. I would love to share ... and will ... just not tonight.
Please keep praying for Kyle.

I'm so sorry and sad with you over Kyle's little friend. I too have always wondered what to say or how to respond to someone's pain that is beyond understanding. The song "Love Them Like Jesus" really has helped me. Being a mom, I always feel like I have to 'fix' whatever it is that is hurting someone. But that song has helped me realize that sometimes just being there & holding their hand or hugging them and even crying with them is all we can do or even need to do. Our words just can't possibly be enough but our love for them maybe helps. I'm so sad along with you and I will remember that family too in my prayer time for Kyle. You all are there for a reason also...God is using you for His glory. I love you dear Sherrill famiy, GranMammy B

I am so sorry to hear about the loss that family has to endure, especially at this time of year. I will pray for peace for them.
Still praying, still believing and still EXPECTING healing!

With all that is going on in your lives, I want you to know that I believe you are both amazing people and parents. You make time for strangers, you make time for friends, you make time for family who also need you. What examples of faithful followers, friends and parents you have shown us how to be. You have also strengthened and taught me ways to pray that have warmed my heart and spirit. The Lord has shown us all so much with Kyle and the strength of the prayers he and you all receive. As for the pumping thing :) ... hang in there kid ... it's worth it. Still praying.... You've brightened my day .... again.
I never want to know the kind of pain Kyle's buds family is experiencing and I pray that God in his mercy will grant them peace.
I admire you guys for being willing to allow us to learn of faith through your experience.

I've been there with you. We had a friend with a similar heart condition go to Jesus just before our son had heart surgery. When our son's surgery was over, I asked so many times why he saved my son and not her daughter. We may never know why God's kingdom was increased by her death and increased by my son's living. But God's plan is divine. It does cause you to fear but you have to cast Satan out and focus on God's words to you. Listen closely and draw near to God. There isn't anything you can say to that family that is going to help right now. Just love on them and God and time will have to heal their hearts.
Praying and Checking in on you everyday.
Blessings

Thanks for always sharing your hearts--your deepest hurts and fears, questions and uncertainties. We're encouraged by your honesty and your faith in these long, exhausting days. I check on you guys every day, and I am beyond excited to hear about what God is doing in Kyle. I know He is also doing so much through Kyle as my faith grows as I pray and see that the Lord truly does hear our cries and save us. You guys are teaching me some important lessons that they don't teach in medical school that I know is shaping me as a physician-in-training. May the Lord bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you and be gracious and give you peace--
Praying,

I'm so sorry to hear about the death of Kyle's little bud. It is so hard sometimes to know God's plan however this I do know. GOd does not waste ours or anyones suffering. Yet he works all things together for good for those who love him. I know that in heaven there is complete healing and no suffering and the divine presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. But still its hard to know why things happen when we really dont understand. Surviver guilt is real and affected me many times while Kirby was in the NICU. However it is Satan who put the thoughts in my head. I know how hard it can be to grieving for the loss and yet happy that Kyle is maintaining and getting better. Just tie a knot and hang on. Kyle continues to be in our thoughts and prayers daily. Have a great Wednesday. Brandie and Ken Noles
Kelly - I am so sorry to hear of Kyle's friend. I am praying each day for all of you and your pod-mates. I have been praying that you would be a light to each of the other families, doctors and staff. I have also been praying that you don't have to be the 'strong ones' all of the time.
Please let us know if there is anything that we can do for you all and your friends.
