prayers for a heart mom please

[Lynlw]

Hi I wanted to ask for prayers for Amy Frank. She has a young daughter halle who was born w/ CHds and had a few surgeries already , Amy is a single mother of 4 small kids and lives on a farm yesterday she had a bad accident on her 4 wheeler and fractured a few veretbre, she will be having back surgery on thursday and could really use some prayers. the good news is right now she is NOt paralyzed, so hopefully she will have a full recovery alth it will be a long hall. some of you may remember Amy because she is really good friends w/ Corbin grabb's family. ifyou are wonderring her ex is taking care of the kids now, so at least that is a help,
You can get updates on her daughters page carepages.com hallefrank

I do remember her from Corbin's page. I had to take a break from the pages for a while though. I felt like I knew some of the kids and their families and got involved in their day to day progress and the roller-coaster emotions and I would become very heavy hearted. I would pray and then still carry it with me throughout the day rather than pray and leave the work up to the Lord. I think it was because I only wanted Him to answer my prayers in the way that the children would be well and healed in this life and that is not the way it is so it became a spiritual struggle for me. I still check back on a few families who now have heartangles and see how the Lord is comforting and healing. I don't know why I brought this all up but reading Corbin's name caused these feelings to resurface. Oh, of course I will pray... Betty

I got a brief update a little while ago about what they will be doing during this surgery. Knowing what I know medically...i'm very scared. They will be fusing her T1-T10 vertebraes together...yes that's 9 vertebraes they will be fusing. THAT IS ALOT. The surgeon said that he cannot give us a 100% she won't be paralyzed (although he doesn't forsee it) Let us all PRAY that this will not be the outcome for Amy. Amy is one of the strongest people I know..spiritually and physically...I don't doubt she will come out of this less than 100%. This is my prayer for her....100% Those beautiful children need her...100% of her!

Dear Lord please wrap Amy in your arms and ease her pain. Have a guided hand working on her Thursday morning. We ask for a uneventful surgery and a smooth recovery. Please ease the thoughts and worries of her friends,family and loved ones. Let us all feel your ultimate care and love.
Amen

Betty,
I felt the same way, but after Ashley and Corbin's death, I changed my prayers to focus on the concern I felt for their families. I have categories of prayers (I hope that doesn't sound superficial). One group of prayers are for people who need God's intervention in their Earthly life; another group of prayers focuses on the needs of the family members left behind after God has taken a soul home. I don't think I could deal with the tragedy we read about if I didn't have some type of prayer to offer up to God.
Lyn,
I am praying for Amy.

Thats tragic, however, God always has a plan as stupid as it may seem, as we all on this site know. I will hold her up.

Amy can move

Amy can move

She is awake and can MOVE!!! I just got off the phone with her(by the way she talked my ear off!) Didn't hear any pain in her voice at all. She is joining us in praising God for all of his blessings. I'm leaving in the morning to see her but will either try to update from the hospital or I will pass the "update torch" Either way you will hear something! Amy as usual was grateful for the love and support shown by everyone. On a funny note, because of all the pain meds when the nurses were asking for her health history she proceeded to tell them all about how she had Hypoplastic Right Heart Syndrome and had 3 open heart surgeries. HAHA she was giving Halle's medical histroy.

Anyway...kids are calling, just wanted to give everyone the news!

Lyn.......

Lyn.......

So glad you posted this. Haven't been able to check in here for a few days due to so many carepage postings..................and they are almost all for Amy. I didn't put it on ours because I had just asked for prayers for Kent and Gerri, and I knew Amy was covered on at least five pages that I know of.

I don't know if you have ever met her, but Amy and Halle came to visit us when we were at UofM for Katie's last surgery(ies). I can personally attest to her kindness. She left us a card with money in it, and here she is, a single parent with four kids!!!! She just said she that she couldn't imagine being so far from home for so long..................sheesh!

Words do not do this woman justice. Her faith is amazing. You know, it's funny, but I just knew that her surgery would come out okay. I knew God would not take one of his disciples so soon when she has so much work left to do here. She is amazing. Many hugs. J.

I am here at the hopital with Amy sitting beside me. Her spirits and pain level are much better today. She is an absolute miracle according to the doctors! She not only had multiple (at least 9) vertabrae fractured she also has multiple rib fractures as well. The surgeron was looking at the x-ray and asking Amy to move her extremeties and was in absolute disbelief that she was able to move. This is the work of God! What a true testiment of his love. Amy is so extremely grateful to everyone, she was able to read a couple pages of messages and had tears in her eyes. She should be getting out of the ICU tommorrow and home (with constant supervision)within the week after that. She will try doing a post when she gets home but she sends her love. She gets very worn out easily so prayers for strength would be greatly appreciated.


Much love to you all
Jen for Amy
