Evening March 1

Tonight we are cautiously optimistic about Amy's right eye. Some of the earlier fears appear to be laid to rest, at least for a short nap. Although last night was very difficult for Amy, today her blood pressure and body temp have been within acceptable parameters. This afternoon the doc told her that if her temp stays down for the next 24 hours, she will be discharged from the hospital. So, please pray tonight for a continuation of the good trends that we are seeing.

Hopefully, Amy will be able to write her own blog tomorrow. I am sure that she will address the issue more fully, but please know that your prayers and posts were an immeasurable blessing to her.

Gratefully, David

Psalm 139:5 "You hem me in -- behind and before; you have laid your hand upon me."

Praying for you all! I just got home from church and saw your newest post. I'm so glad that the right eye is doing better. Amy I hope that you can go home today. I know that is where your desire is to be. I'm believing God for a miricle for you. I know that it can happen ~ you wouldn't have me for a crazy friend if it wasn't for God's healing touch on my life. I love you girl!
We just returned from our weekend camping trip and I immediately sat down at the computer to check on your last three days.
We prayed for you Amy, during our devotions around the campfire, and I constantly was wanting to check my email to see what was the latest. But instead, all I could do was stop and say a prayer that God was touching your body, giving strength to you, David and the boys and for wisdom for the doctors.
Will continue to pray. Love to you!

My comment was going to be almost exactly as my sister Charlene's up above so I'll just say "DITTO!"

Amy, I look forward to hearing from you. You are an inspiration! Some people on our prayer network have said that they are praying for you as well. I know for us, we have had times where we could not put words to prayer. We know in those time that Jesus is our intercesor; it is great to have others interceding as well. Your mentioning that you have not lossed faith has hit home to me. I pray that through Christ you will continue to have the strength that you exibit. We continue to pray for healing, strength, and grace. LeAnn

David, Amy, and boys-

We had special prayer for you today at Sherman PNC. I know the Lord will be with you and hold you during this difficult time.
As a homeschool mom of three boys, I hope the Lord allows you to have your dream of educating your boys. It is an incredible experience!
With our thoughts and prayers,

I only know you through Mary Ellen's prayer request on your behalf but thought it would encourage you to know that you were prayed for today in both services at Hobe Sound Bible Church.

Homeschooling Curriculum Help?

Shannon is hosting a backwards edition of what-works-for-me Wednesday , where you can ask for advice/ or suggestions instead of giving them. Yeah! I need some advice. David and I are really praying and considering homeschooling our boys, K4 and grades 2 and 6 —beginning this fall. Can anybody recommend a curriculum, either as a whole or as a subject, that you are crazy about that doesn’t make you crazy? Secondly, if you could give one tip for “survival” what would that be?

February 27 Update

I just called to see if Amy wanted to blog anything today, but at the moment she is talking on the phone to her wonderful friend, Deb Rose. Deb and her husband, Brian, used to live in Louisville several years ago. They were our very best friends. If I were talking to the Roses this evening, I would tell them that Amy is desperately scared. The docs have given her a very stiff dose of antibiotics, but as of this moment, her body temp is climbing once again. Her primary doctor told her he fears that this infection may be fungal in nature. I don’t completely understand all of the implications, except that we are shooting at this infection with our biggest guns, but it just keeps on coming. In her introspective manner, she shared with me today that if she had known she would lose her sight, she would have invested it more wisely in the things she read and watched: “What if I go completely blind and can’t read the Bible? I have to get more serious about memorizing.” This morning a do

Amy does not feel well enough to blog today, so the sub is blogging on her behalf. Yesterday Amy thought she saw some new spots in her left eye and felt that she was experiencing some of the same sensations that she had during her stroke, so she went to the doctor. He said that he sees no new lesions, but that doesn’t mean that she couldn’t have another stroke. He recommended that she begin steroids to reduce any retinal inflammation. Amy continues to need your prayers. Blessings, David
