Very likely, Aubrey's last memory is being at home with her family. When she wakes up, she will be in an unfamiliar room with lots of beeping noises, medical personnel, wires, and tubes (some of which are lodged in her skull). Doctors expect the experience to be very disorienting for a two-year-old who has no idea what has happened to her.
Therefore, when Aubrey wakes up on Wednesday, Andy and Ashleigh ask that only immediate family members visit for a few days after that. Please feel free to call and schedule a visit before Wednesday morning - it will be appreciated. Even if you can't come, please keep commenting on the website, emailing, and texting. The comments to the website go straight to Andy and Ashleigh's email, and they read every one of them.
We are praying that Aubrey will wake up on Wednesday, recognize her mom and dad, and start getting back to being a healthy two-year-old. Thank you for joining us in faith.

I look at the tremendous things this little girl has inspired without even knowing it. She has forced so many of us to depend on God desperately with pleas for comfort and restoration. She has ignited an awesome unity among believers around the world. She has given us a just a glimpse of the love that our Heavenly Father has for his Son. How difficult it would be to comprehend this sort of love without a child like Aubrey!
ReplyDeleteI visited you and your parents today Aubrey. And the words that kept coming into my mind were those of the song that you dance to at church: "You Are Stronger." I sang it out loud the entire way home from the hospital with tears in my eyes, so thankful for our STRONG God and his strong work in and through you this week. You are a BEAUTIFUL, STRONG little girl. We're praying for you!
ReplyDeleteAndy and Ashleigh - Rob and I (and the kids) are praying so hard for Aubrey. She is constantly in my thoughts and our love, support, and prayers go out you, your family, and especially Aubrey. I have asked several of our friends/family to also pray for Aubrey and a good friend of mine sent me this scripture today in regards to Aubrey.

I am so excited to see she is waking up and I am praying there is no brain damage and that the disorientation is brief. We love you guys!!
God Bless,
