Update on Amie

Mama posted this as a comment on a previous post, but I thought I would share it as a post since so many of you have responded to Amie’s story and have been asking how she is doing!  Thank you all so much for your prayers for her.  This is truly an amazing miracle…

AMIE CALLED ME TONIGHT. SHE SOUNDED FANTASTIC.THEY ARE STILL AMAZED AT THE MIRACLE GOD PERFORMED ON HER. THE DOCTORS JUST STARE AT HER AND SHAKE THEIR HEADS IN AWE. HER DR. SAID IT WAS A MIRACLE FOR HER TO BE ALIVE. HE PERSONALLY CARRIES HER BREAKFAST TO HER EACH MORNING. SHE WILL BE MOVED TO A REGULAR ROOM ON MONDAY, IF SHE CONTINUES TO IMPROVE.THEN NEXT WEEK, IF SHE STILL IMPROVES, THEY ARE GOING TO TRANSFER HER TO CASWELLS IN KINSTON WHERE SHE LIVES. AINT GOD GOOD.

Our God is an Awesome God!

I just received a phone call from mama – I didn’t want to answer the phone. 

All I can say is that God is an almighty powerful God and He is merciful and I am so in awe of His greatness.  They went in and took Amie off the respirator this moring and she is sitting up in the bed, breathing on her own and complaining because she is hungry!  The doctor says that he has never seen anything like it and that he cannot believe that this is the same girl he was in the room with yesterday. 

So many people were praying for God to work a miracle and He did.  The family is so elated with joy.  Phil went straight out and called mama!  Thank you God!  Thank you God!  I am so filled with joy, and thankfulness, and I have been humbled by the works of God.  I cannot believe that yesterday I was writing about today being the last day of Amie’s life.  What a “Doubting Thomas” I was.  Never again. 

Thank you all for your prayers for our family and for Amie.  God was listening of course.  We are so blessed to be a witness to His works.  Continue to remember her as she improves and strengthens.  We have been given a gift of more time with her.  We are so thankful.  WOW!!!

Update on Amie

Mama called me a little while ago.  We are not going to Duke tomorrow.  They are going to take Amie off the respirator.  The doctor is not sure how long she will be able to last after they remove it, but he is sure she cannot breathe on her own.  Amie has fought a long hard fight and tomorrow may be the last day of her life.  If it is, we all will be at peace knowing that she lived life to the fullest of her abilities that she embraced her life in every way she possibly could.  She knows we all love her and we know she loves us.  This is so hard for me because not only am I losing someone I love, I am losing her to cystic fibrosis…  UGH!!  I have to take refuge in the fact when she does take her last breath, that she will not be in anymore pain, she will not have to take any more medicine, she will not have to have someone pound on her anymore.  She will be in God’s safe arms, in His presence.  I pray to God for peace for her and all of the family.
