Meet Amy!
On September 21 2004 Amy was given the devastating news of a brain tumor that at first look thought to be untreatable but then at the second look was decided that just maybe radiation would work. She had about 7 weeks of radiation treatment with the tumor shrinking 80% and as time went on it continued to shrink. After 3 years the tumor was stable and Amy has been about 8 years in remission, until December 6 2012 when Amy had a routine check and the doctor noticed a cyst growing on the small tumor.
Amy and her family are devastated by this news. Here is a post from Amy herself. Please consider stopping by her CaringBridge site and give her some encouragement and love. Thanks!
Hi guys its me Amy,Hey I just wanted to thank you guys for saying all of these prayers for me. it realy helps to know that other people care.I know my mom told you my story so you know exactly what happened[my mom can be very detailed.].I'm not to scared about chemo but what i'm realy afraid of is the"gulp"...the BRAIN SURGURY!Dun,Dun,Dun!!!;]But we'er not so sure that I'm geting brain surguery yet. So if I can just get a few more prayers just for that i'd be very thankful.Now,,,I've relized that i havn't been talking to you guys to much so i'm going to try to do that more often.But I don't now if I can because I'm tied up in-between school and homework alot but ya know...I'll try.Now any-who, the other day when we got the bad news, we came home, and there was a battle for a cure box on our front porch.[battle for a cure is a website that givs away presents for kids either with cancer or that are in treatment. I think i'm concitered both.] We felt s bad tat my mom said we needed a little christmasso me and my broth each opened seven presents and I opened a moxie girl doll up backwords. then i turned it around and I said 'and iquote' 'its bald........'then my mom explained to me that she was a special doll and only kids with cancer gets these kinds of dolls[ps:you can't get thes dolls any where else.]now she is my most favorite doll and i enjoy making clothing for her. Witch brings me to a different note.......Any matierial,needles,or thread that you don'tneed talk to me.because i can take it off your hands. so thats it for now.bye!

What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?
Praying and praying,

I read about Amy on Facebook earlier today. Do you think I can find the link now? No... Grrr, so annoying. Well, when I do find it I'll let you know. The website Caring Bridge is easy enough to access if you sign up, but I'm not so sure that many do. I think that would be because of privacy reasons.
ReplyDeleteHi Kerrie,
DeleteHaha, I hate when you can't find a link! I don't remember if she had a facebook page it was Battle4aCure that posted her CaringBridge site. I know many people don't like to go there because of the security but I think that's all there is for Amy.
Blessings,

Hi child of God,
ReplyDeletestrange, when I read about Amy I thought 'how shall I pray?'. Then when I read your reply to Kerrie, your words regarding CaringBridge 'I think that's all there is for Amy' stood out and the scripture you have in your post:- 'What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?' came straight into my mind after those words. So we say 'no that is not all there is for Amy Lord, for if You are for her then who can be against her' amen thankYou Lord that You are for her.
Hi Brenda,
DeleteHow cool!!
I agree with you, there is so much more for Amy because God is for her!
Thanks for sharing how you came to this.
Blessings,
