This site was created for several reasons.
- For YOU to get updates on how Ian is doing with both his treatment and his spirit. Ian or Christy or other friends will update this with news as they are able. Please check this website and with mutual friends about news before calling the Brown's. They of course want to talk with you but battling an illness like this takes an enormous amount of physical, emotional, and spiritual energy. As much as possible they need to stay in the present moment with each other.
- This is also a space for you to encourage the family. Leave encouraging comments after posts. Seeing that you are love them, are cheering for them, and praying for them will be great gifts. So, please do share your thoughts (in response to posts) and whether they respond directly or not--know that they are grateful for your care.
- There is a "Help Out" page where you can sign up for tangible ways to serve Ian and his family. You can also think of creative ways to care for them: gift cards for restaurants near their hospital, or for gas, iTunes, e-book and movies. Anyways to help them get through this challenging time would be lovely. Please consider letting them know that you do not need a thank you note for your kind gesture.
If you have any questions about this website please don't hesitate to let me know. Who am I, well I am Christy and Ian's friend Amber. Click here to send me an email.
Hi Ian,
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you, and I'm glad you are home. That must be wonderful after all you've been through. I'm looking forward to us going out running again on the Steven's Creek trail, and I hope it is soon.
