We have thought of you often during this last year Austin. Your bravery and positive outlook will serve you well. Continued prayers. Nancy Westerberg

I pray for you both often. I am so sorry that justice is a slow process for you. I hope that the defense's request for evaluation of mental competence isn't a push to skirt responsibility and consequences for a hate crime.
Your story is inspiring as your healing is a tale of miracle and tenacity.
Love you two so much.
God's grace and providence be with you and the big loving family that surrounds you. 🙏🏼🕯❤

Austin and Collin.. you are both in our prayers as you go through one more surgery. God has you wrapped in his arms. Love you both so much!
Mammy and Bombpa❤️🙏

Austin and Collin - will be thinking of you this Monday and praying for the best possible outcome.

Thanks for the update! Your patience and great attitude is commendable! My prayers for continued healing and continued movement forward in your life.

As a Luther Sem alum, you remain in my prayers for healing, continued high quality care, and HOPE.

Thanks for the update! Best wishes moving forward. I pray the pain can be made more manageable, and that justice is served.

Glad to hear things are going well! I think you will feel much better when they take the rod out. Hardware never really feels too good. Good luck on Monday, I will be thinking of you! I hope Colin is hanging in there too!

Oh Austin, you have been through so much in the last year! Are you really only 28? You’ve accomplished more than most 40 year olds! We will be praying for great success on Monday and many pain free days for years to come!

Prayers continue from our hearts to Gods heart! Together, we pray without ceasing.
