Ryan's Dad

Ryan's dad passed away last Thursday. Last Tuesday, he was put back on a ventilator and went into cardiac arrest. The doctors called the family in at that time, so Ryan and I and the kids flew to Iowa on Tuesday night. Ryan was able to be with his dad all day Wednesday. We made the decision to take him off of the ventilator on Thursday after the doctors did more tests and explained further the damage that his stroke had caused. We prayed that he would have a quick and peaceful passing and God answered our prayers. He passed away within a half hour of going off of the ventilator and Ryan and I, his mom, sister and her husband were all standing at his bedside when he took his last breath. It was a very hard thing to go through, but we all find peace in knowing that he is now with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Thank you for your prayers for us throughout this difficult time.
