Sad news report September 14 2008

Sept 14 2008

 

First I would like to say I hope to respond to all of your emails personally, but things are a little crazy now.

 

We don't have many details yet, but we are hoping to be back in the states by Tuesday to be back with the other kids.

 

They are surrounded by friends and family right now, as we are in Bangkok. My aunt, uncle, one cousin, and an administrator from the school are here to be with us until we go back.

 

We have people making arrangements and caring for us in so many ways. There are so many details to take care of here and there and I am so thankful we have people taking many of the burdens from us.

 

There will be more details to follow, feel free to pass it on to others

 

Never thought I'd be writing this so soon.

 

Ruth passed peacefully and in no discernible pain from a blood clot in her lung. Her heart stopped several times, but there was no heart attack, the blood clot was just inhibiting the heart from working.

 

She received better care than I could have imagined, there were two nurses and a doctor staying at the guest house where she was recovering after surgery. Within seconds of her first symptoms, she was being professionally cared for. There was just nothing that could be done. There were EMT's who administered care in the ambulance. The doctors at the hospital were excellent. They did everything they could to save her.

 

I was with her. She was peaceful. And now she's free.

 

We have been overwhelmed by the love shown to us by all of you. Thank you for being Christ to us.

 

Kevin
