Amy Is Very Critical At This Time



As I write this to each of you sister bloggers our Angel Amy is fighting to breathe. She took a turn for the worse this morning. She started having problems with her lungs, they are very coarse, and they have been administering breathing treatments since early this morning. They are taking her down to x-ray to take a look at her lungs, and find out if it is pneumonia, or if the tumor has swollen so much, that it is actually giving her the problems that she is having to breathe. They may need to do a tracheotomy immediately. We will not know until the x-rays are complete and the Dr.s have decided what they best way to go at this time is.

Please, please pray for her. She is fighting to live, but I am so worried at this time. We need prayers and lots of more prayers. I am standing by the phone waiting on updates, and I will share, as Debbie has asked of me when she calls. This is so hard for me. I am having a hard time sharing my heart.

Thank you as always for stopping by my little piece of heaven, here in the desert, that I so love to call home. I love each of you, Sherry

Sherry-Stopping my blogging right now to go down on my knees and pray. I know we all hear this verse alot but it is on my verse of the day for my blog....so here it is again, easy to say and hard to accomplish.

"Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight."
Proverbs 3:5-6 (NIV


Love, and hugs to you....Debbie, her husband and especially Amy.

Donetta said...

We are here standing.
Remember/imagine life with her.
Do not imagine her suffering that is a torment to your soul and a heart ache.
Think on the things that you have witnessed through her, those things that she has taught you. The things that you spoke about.
If she go home remember/imagine your life with her. Imagine all the laughter those times she shared her heart with you. Letting her go into the arms and giving her back for we are only each others for a season. We truly belong to HIM. He just gives us the favor of walking along side and sharing the beauty of each others presence.
Releasing the children into HIS will His hands is the most gracious gift we can give.
It is a gift of worship and respect. Amy needs our respect in our prayers to make her walk easier to trod.

These acts of courage and grace will be a rich part of your healing that will keep you from the mire and the thief who would to robe you the beauty of Amy's life. She is just going to the other side of the vial.

Those that go on before us stand at the right hand of God ever interceding for us both day and night.

the right hand of GOD!!!!! She will live just a breath away.

Olde Dame Penniwig said...

Oh no. I was thinking today that she would stay stable. Why is this happening, everything went straight downhill after the surgery attempt. WHY OH WHY, it's a nightmare.

Thinking about you, yrs, and of course Amy, Debbie, and Richard. It is so good of you to take the burden off Debbie and update us all. I know it is hard. But we feel so helpless and the updates help.

Hi! I'm Grace said...

Hi Sherry, this is my first time here in your blog and I see the love of Jesus in your "blogger friendship circle".
I am praying for Amy. Be strong and don't lose hope. God is doing something to show HIS GLORY!
May you have a blessed Sunday tomorrow.

I know it is so hard, but trust in God. He will ease Amy's pain. We have to trust - especially at times like this. Trust in God and His promise of everlasting life is all we have.

I'm holding you all close in my heart. And, my heart is breaking.

Dear Sherry and Amy,
I have for some months now kept you in my prayers and today is no exception.

With this circle of love wrapping our arms around you and your family, may you find comfort and joy in all that you have brought to one another and others.

I am thinking positive that the doctors and nurses and those attending Amy will be lead in correct ways.
