We are thankful for the medical professionals, family, and friends that have come alongside us and continue to shower us with love. We have felt your prayers. We know our God is big and powerful, as he gave Andy one of the most amazing experiences, and that was to hear your prayers.  Once again, thank you for the continued prayers and support. 

With Love -  Andy, Rebekah, Aylee, Mya, and Lincoln Wettstein
