That's good to hear! Keep us posted if that changes :)

Good, I'm glad you're all okay!

I'll have to leave soon for maybe an hour or more, just checking in to see how you're doing before I go

I hope it's not a bad sign…Keep an eye on him I guess

Okay. Good luck, I will be back as soon as I can!

I'm here again, how are things?

I'm gonna hope that no news is good news for now, but please let us know the situation if you get the chance, whoever's there.

Don't let him feel isolated, but don't crowd him either. Maybe you can take turns being with him? You know him better than we do, so you should probably be the final judge on that, but definitely try to stay attuned to how he's feeling.

Can you try to talk to him through the door? Maybe you're already doing that.
Austin, if you're reading this, please let them in, it's going to be okay. It's all right to have people with you right now, especially people who love you as much as your friends do.

What's going on now? Any progress? I'm worried….

Yes, just hang in there. We believe in you, we care.

There are so many reasons to keep going. I know it's hard to see them right now, but they're real. Please don't let go of that.

They might be exhausted. They might be hurting so much. But they would still desperately try to keep swimming as long as they could, until they could build a raft or until help came. Please please keep swimming.
