Dear BFA Family,
It is Easter Monday here in Germany. I trust you had a meaningful Easter weekend remembering our Saviors' great love.
I am writing to you today to keep you informed of the family Dredge situation. Matt and Sarah continue to keep their vigil at Anna Pearl's bedside in the Freiburg hospital. Yesterday there seemed to be some positive signs in her condition, but those signs have not held very well. I wish I had better news for you, but at this point, things do not look good. Anna's heart is not responding as everyone had hoped it would and the Doctors are not sure how much longer she can remain on life support, see Matt's report from this morning below.
As you can imagine, this is an extremely hard time for the Dredge family. Matt's mother, and Sarah's mom and dad are all here and supporting as best they can. The family has requested no more visitors for the time being. All of their attention needs to be on their precious daughter. They know that you are praying for them and they want you to continue. If you want to you may go to Freiburg and pray in the hospital chapel that is nearby, but please understand their need to limit the visitors. Thank you for your understanding.
To the parents to BFA boarders, please keep your children informed as well. Please pray especially for the boys of the Sonnenhof dorm as Anna Pearl is like a little sister to them. There is still time for God to heal this little girl. Now is the time to pray. Thanks for your prayerful support.

Dear Friends, We have just met with the Cardiologist and the Surgeon. They have told us that they will start taking Anna off the life support system between 12 and 1pm (6am and 7am eastern). It takes a couple of hours to wean her off the machine. The Doctors cannot give us any assurance about how it will go. It depends on how Anna heart responds. It has recovered some of its function this past week, but until they turn off the machine there is no knowing what will happen. Please be praying with us as this is happening. We are putting all of our trust in Jesus as there is nothing left for us to do. We are praying and hope for a miracle still. Love,Matt, Sarah and Anna Pearl.
