The Lord gives and the Lord takes away, Blessed by the Lord!
I am so sorry for the delays and confusion, but T&T needed time to make calls to family and close friends before our news reached the internet and they decided to delete their early morning message to allow sufficient time. I know that you have been waiting and we are so thankful for your prayers.
I will post again later today or tomorrow morning, but for now just know that Corbin has received his perfect healing as very early this morning our merciful Lord took him HOME. No more suffering, no more pain, no more tears -- absent from the body and present with the Lord. We rejoice that Corbin passed peacefully, never regaining consciousness after the second surgery this week. We praise God that there were no tough decisions for T&T to make and that they were with Corbin in peace and "held" by our sovereign Lord. We are sad, we grieve, but we grieve in hope.
I know as a member of the "heart" family that each time a child passes I have a desire to "understand", to learn to know what went wrong. Well, Corbin's skilled surgeon was able to do miraculous repairs but the complications and drug side-effects and interactions could not be overcome and eventually wore down Corbin's earthly body. We rejoice in the wonderful 2 years we were given as a gift from the Lord and as the scriptures tell us, "he will not return to us, but we will go to him". Corbin is held by Jesus, as a perfect little boy and for that we give great thanks and have great peace.
I have spoken with Travis and shared this sad news with Corbin's brothers, aunts and uncles, and assure you that God has been glorified THIS day.
More later, and our sincerest thanks to all. Our prayers have been answered and God has provided just what Corbin needed. We grieve in Hope.
