Saturday .. a day of rest..

May 2,2009

This is Nikki's cousin Brittany, just sending an update. Today was supposed to be the second attempt to taking out the life support. However, Devyn has an infection in his lungs ( which is normal) and the doctors wanted to wait a couple of days. Devyn was pretty agitated today, I am sure he is hating the tubes, and wants them OUT! I sat with him for a couple of hours just watching him. he is so sweet, and peaceful. They gave him morphine for the irritation and pain, so today was going to be a long day of just that, rest. When I left, Dylan ( Devyn's twin) was on his way up, we are hoping Dylan can speak to him, you know, in twin words.

Since I am on here, I want to let you all know that on MAY 23'rd 2009 we are having a COMMUNITY yard sale for The fight for Devyn fund. This will be a huge yard sale, along with baked goods and T shirts for sale. ALL proceeds will go to help the family pay for Devyn's care, in the hospital and at home. We will also be having a walk for Devyn 5k walk/run. That will be in June sometime. If you want to participate in the yard sale, please email me at Brittanym.compton@gmail.com.

Tomorrow, Devyn's story will be on the news. Keep an eye out to help us spread the word for prayer, help, and support!

We want to thank ALL of you for your prayers and support. It means so MUCH to Nikki and Joe. Please keep them coming! The more prayer we have, the stronger the noise!

I will update later, if Nik doesn't..
