Just wanted everyone to know the latest on Jamie. Her surgery went well on Friday. Saturday was a tough day, but a good one. Jamie actually took a few steps on her own; she’s been moved to a room on the same floor with all the newborn babies, so she says her motivation to walk up and down the hall is to go see the babies!
Saturday night was rough. The doctors actually gave her a few pints of blood Sat night / Sun morning, but that seems to have perked her up. Kent says she’s doing well since they’ve taken her off her pain pump. As of Sunday afternoon, she’d been eating some crackers in hopes of eating “real” food very soon.
Continue to keep Jamie in your prayers. And remember Kent, Laura & May, as well. We’re praying for a quick recovery — I know Kent & Laura would love to have Jamie home before Christmas. We’ll be sure to keep everyone posted with the latest.
This verse was written about you, Jamie. “She is clothed with strength and dignity, and she laughs with no fear of the future.” — Proverbs 31:25. We love you.
already & not yet 
can you tell us who Jamie is?
She’s a teen in my youth group. She had surgery on her back Friday. They inserted a 3 lb. steel rod to correct her scoliosis. She’s still in the hospital…will be there at least a few more days. They’re hoping to be home for Christmas. She’ll have another 6-8 weeks of recovery before she’s 100%. But we’re praising God her surgery went as well as it did. If you don’t mind, keep her in your prayers. She’s a sweet girl with a great attitude…we’re all proud of her!
thanks Jason! yall’s prayer’s have been amazing…God is incredible!This has been so much easier to go through with both my blood family (including my new “blood family”, Bruce Thompson and Mary Miller who gave me their blood) and my spiritual family. I love everyone SO much.
