Update 5/25 10:30pm

Sorry for the lateness of today's update, but we just returned from the hospital a little while ago. Dylan's condition is still roughly the same as it has been in the past few days, but according to Gary, he continues to get weaker. Activities like drinking out of a straw are now more than he is able to do. Still no word from doctors on how much longer Dylan has.

On a more encouraging note, tonight members from Gary and Debbie's church, along with members of their family from Georgia, had a time of Scripture reading and prayer for them in the ICU waiting room. There were many hugs, many tears, but much encouragement that God is good and can be trusted. Gary and Debbie were very grateful for these loved ones, along with all of you who have been praying for them from afar. Though this situation is very difficult, God is sustaining them physically and spiritually. Let's continue to keep them in our prayers. Also, Gary's chief prayer request for Dylan is that he not be afraid during this process and that God not allow him to suffer.

Dylan, Debbie, and Gary,
We also say with many others that we are praying for you. Your testimony during this time in your lives is outstanding and is being used of God in ways that we will probably never know in full.
My prayer is that Jesus will draw you ever nearer to Himself this week.
Love,
Dave, Dawn, Johnathan, Laura, and Alison Jones

Hello
I'm still praying for a miracle of healing because I know nothing is impossible with God but I also know Dylan's body has been through so much. If it is time for his homegoing I pray as Gary does that Dylan won't be in pain and that he will get a glance of what is on the other side so that he won't be afraid. Just know that our prayers are with all of you at this time. We love you!!!

In my heart I am holding you all. Prayers for you are constantly going up...prayers of peace and lack of fear, prayers of gentle rest and lack of pain, prayers of grace in the midst of despair. If there is anything else at all that I can do or pray for, please, please, please let me know. I love you all so much.

Always,
Candy Peeler
