Update from todays visit 3:30pm
Just got back from the hospital and made the family eat a light lunch to keep up their energy. Everyone seemed to enjoy it and were glad they just did not have to think about what to eat or where to go. All the meals to the ICU waiting room are so helpful at this time when all the family can do is focus on keeping Dylan pain-free. He has slipped a little bit more from yesterday. The 4 days of restlessness have caught up with his very weakened body. Gary & Debbie are having to discuss some very difficult choices and decisions to make with Dylan's doctors. Pray for Almighty God to give them clarity & comfort & peace with todays set of circumstances. Continue to pray that Dylan will not know what is happening and will stay comfortable and pain free for this time. Words can not begin to express their thanks to everyone who continues to pray for the whole Shugart family. Our hearts have been linked through the love of Jesus Christ our Lord & Savior. Shoulder their pain & heavy burdens as you continue in prayer. God Bless.

We continue to pray for God's strength and wisdom for you during this difficult and tiring time.
Thanks to the Lord for the folks who are there to help you out during these long days. God will richly bless them for helping out.
We pray that Dylan will not suffer and when his time has come, he will go gently into the arms of Jesus our Lord.
May God bless you all.

Our prayers for peace and comfort are with you right now.
We love you all so very much!
We love you guys and are continually praying for you. Remember, God is our providential creator! He has brought many people together around the world to pray for you - many of whom you will probably never know here on earth. What an awesome thing!!
Beyond that, remember that he has a mighty plan that includes tragedies such as this - take comfort in that.
Psalm 93
1 The LORD reigns, he is robed in majesty;
the LORD is robed in majesty
and is armed with strength.
The world is firmly established;
it cannot be moved.
2 Your throne was established long ago;
you are from all eternity.
3 The seas have lifted up, O LORD,
the seas have lifted up their voice;
the seas have lifted up their pounding waves.
4 Mightier than the thunder of the great waters,
mightier than the breakers of the sea—
the LORD on high is mighty.
5 Your statutes stand firm;
holiness adorns your house
for endless days, O LORD.
We love you guys so much, and we miss you.

Hey Guys,
My heart is so heavy for you. I will pray without ceasing.
When I was a little boy, my parents would take me to my grandparents home. If we were going to be there late, mom would go ahead and have me put on my pajamas. Soon after, I would fall asleep. The next thing I knew, I would be waking up in my on bed at our home. I never remembered falling asleep, being driven home or being put into my bed. All I knew was that I woke up there.
Dylan's passing will be as such, that he will awake in his home. The one who died, so that Dylan would have life will be there.
I pray in the name of "The Prince of Peace".
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, because he trusteth in Thee (Is. 26:3)
My sin, O the bliss of this glorious tho't, My sin not in part, But in whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more. Praise the Lord, Praise the Lord. O my soul! It is well, It is well with my soul.
Dylan, Debbie, and Gary,
We love you very much.
In Christ,
Jamie and Deborah
We love you,
Jay and Heather
"The Lord is my strength and my shield; in Him my heart trusts and I am helped; my heart exults, and with my song I give thanks to Him." (Psalm 28:7) We are praying for you. And your family is being lifted up by many. There are only one set of fooprints in the sand as Jesus carries you through this difficult time.
Love in Christ, Mike & Linette Hawley
We love you! We are thinking about and praying for you.
Love,
Justin & Barbara
Your family at CBC is also lifting all of you up. Please let us know if we can help in any way.
Beloved Shugarts,
Praying that you draw near to God in this difficult time, as He will draw near to you. "Let us hold unswervingly to the HOPE we profess, for He who promised IS faithful."(Heb 10:23) My heart grieves with you at the thought of your situation and choices, but I rejoice in the truth of the Word and cling to the hopeful knowledge that every promise in the book is for Dylan. Praise God that Dylan is a believer, for "All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful for those who keep His covenant." (Ps. 25:10)Praying Romans 15:13 for you today.
Trusting in Jesus,
The Bruners
Gary, Debbie, and Dylan,

Your friends,
Todd & Eunice
Gary, Debbie, Dylan:

"Shugart's!"...(said only in the amazing way of Dr. Carson) :)
I too am praying for you...The comfort that the Lord is putting on you now is so much more amazing than any of us (even on the outside) can ever imagine! Praise be to the Father as He provides the Way!
Love Nate Harvey
we are asking for His comfort and His peace for all of you during this difficult time...
Jay, Jeanne, and Anna Grace Galle
Praying for you, Dylan...Rest in the arms of your Lord Jesus!
Praying for you Gary & Debbie to keep pressing on in faith, to have boldness in your prayers and witness. Thank you for continuing to share your faith with those around you. May the fruits of this be evident and visible as a testimony to God's glory and an encouragement to your hearts. Praying also for your wisdom in decisions and your spiritual, emotional, physical and mental strength as well!
Love you and miss you all!
