That perky little smiling face always makes me smile. I had such a great time with you at Kimberly's volleyball games and on Easter. You make me laugh and teach me not to take life so seriously. You are such a WONDERFUL and AMAZING girl that is loved by soooo many people. I hope that we can spend more time together soon.

Amy,
You left here a few hours ago (tired and happy) after completing a very intense 30 day constraint therapy trial. All the progress you have made is amazing! You are an inspiration to others and a true pleasure to work with. My wish is that you will know (when your older) how much your mom and dad's support, follow through and love were an integral part to your therapy.
I feel very blessed that your family has chosen me to work with you.
Keep up the good work and have a Merry Christmas! Sincerely,
Marno

Hi, Craig, Kathy & Amy:
So, how does it feel to be finally home? It was nice to meet you and be your roommates at Gillette. We miss your smiling faces. I will also never forget Amy's brownie bite. We arrived safetly home after being at Gillette for 6-1/2 weeks. Home looks so much better then a hospital room. It is a shame that we met under the circumstances that we did, but sometimes that happens. We are now adjusting to life at home and trying to get back into a routine. Thanks again for sharing your lives with us. Amy, keep up the fantastic work! You are one tough kid!

Thanks so much for taking the time to keep us informed of Amy's progress! God be with you all during this healing process.

Wahoooooo guys! We are esactic. We continue to think of you all each day and night. I tried to get over there twice this week but ended up with hurdles in the way! I can't wait to see you guys and give Amy some big hugs and kisses - one from Andrew as well. I had a tough time finding an ankle braclet but found a girls lego set where you make bracelets yourself - seemed like a good alternative and something that may keep her busy (sounds like she is pretty busy already)! Amy's locker is looking ready to have her move in at school! How is it having visitors there? Is it to much on top of all the exertion with therapy? We would love to come down soon but I want to be sure it is appropriate and not more exhausting for all of you. Call when you can - I'll call some time Sat and leave a message at the room. Hang in there guys and let God continue to work his miracles!

I'm sure you still have a long road ahead, but it is great to hear she is getting back to her "fiesty" self. Again, I've never met Amy, but feel like I know her through you, Kathy.

Amy, Kathy and Craig,
Glad to hear that Amy is one step closer in the recovery process. Keep your chin up and your spirits good - I know, easy for me to say - anyway, Amy is so beautiful and I see wonderful improvements every time I see her! Andrew is ready when you are - just say the word. We talked about what to bring her and he thought about a bracelet but then we talked about how she has a brand new watch so we thought of something else - an ankle bracelet - and after some thought Andrew added "with a heart on it" - I started searching today - hope to have it by the time we can come down. We are very glad that Amy will be getting the care and treatment that she needs for what we all hope is a faster recovery but realize that St. Paul is that much further away from home. Please take care of yourselves and know that you have literally an army of people praying and thinking of you every second of every day (and night). Give the pumpkin a kiss for us :)

My little sunscreen watcher,
I was so happy to see you last week. I am glad to see you eating, talking and bugging mom and dad keep up the good work. I miss you lots and I will visit you at your new hospital soon. lots of love hugs and kisses!

Kathy and Craig,
It just brightened my world last week to see Amy so fiesty. I know she will be wlking and running in no time. I was also happy to see you both smiling. I am sad I won't be able to visit you at home this week but I am happy to hear that Amy is getting the care she needs. Besides it gives her a chance to warm a few more hearts at Gilette. I will call you soon and I should be up to visit sometime this week. So if your out of your supply of pudding and apple sauce please let me know. Talk to you soon. You are all still in my prayers.
with love,
Miss Sara

Amy, it was so good to go upstairs and visit you the other day and see you eating without problems and all by yourself! So glad you are well enough to be out of our hospital and over to Gillette for rehab. They do a great job over there and will help you get much stronger! Keep up your fighting spirit, you have a lot of tiring, but fun days ahead. To your mom and dad: don't forget to take care of yourselves. This month may prove more difficult than when you were in PICU--rehab is tough. Cherish the good days and don't dwell on the bad ones. Remember, age is on Amy's side.

I know you can do it Amy, Bindi is waiting to play with you again and you know how "fast" she is! So you must get better so you can keep up with her when she is giving you all her puppy kisses that she loves to give you!

We will continue to pray that this will be a quicker recovery and Amy will be home. You must be getting so tired of this, but hang in there. God will give you strength and courage and peace.

Just checking on you again this morning. We remember you in prayer every day and check your progress daily. I'm glad you are in a different room now and am waiting for the news that you will be going home. God is good! One day you will understand and know how much God loves you and what He has done for you because He loves you so much.
We love you.

Amy, Kathy and Craig,
Hi! I ended up at work way to late tonight and figured 9 was to late to stop by. We think of you all day and continue to pray. Amy looked great when I was I there on Sunday - I hope her eye is not bugging her as much any more. She is a fighter and that is easy to see as she licks her hand and wipes it on Kathy! With God watching and carrying her - she will continue to get stronger and stronger. She is beautiful and I can't wait to see you guys again later this week - we have to paint more toe nails! I hope to be by later this week - your nurse said to be sure to call first as with all the sessions of PT etc. it may be harder to track you down. God Bless you and we hope you are getting some well needed rest! Andrew sends big hugs and kisses and asked when Amy would be able to play. I told him that it was still going to be a few weeks yet - - but it would be soon!

Amy, now that you're out of PICU and no longer my patient, I have to check your website to keep up with you. Though I miss spending my days with you, I am so happy for you and your family that you are no longer in need of my care. You've had a long road already and will continue down that road for a while longer as you recover, but you are strong and have parents that are willing to particiate in any way to help you get better. Though it's tiring, keep up with your PT/OT/Speech--it will get easier. Come down to visit me any time, but I'd rather not have you stay. I'll bop upstairs to visit when I get the chance. Thank you for allowing be to be a part of your care.

Dear Mom and Dad, You are probably exhausted by now. Glad to hear you are sleeping at home, Mom. Maybe someone could offer to be in the room at nite i.e. Grandparent, relative, close adult friend, to relieve your concerns about leaving her. This helped me alot as one doesn't get much good sleep in the hospital... and the road is a long one. It is not selfish to take care of your needs now too.
Amanda's eye was closed for a long time too. Hard to see it this way. Amanda also had the swallow test, OT, PT, ST and right sided weakness... Have you met Julie Christiansen yet or Lori from PT dept.? They were favorites of ours and Margaret in OT? I bet it is a relief to be out of PICU! That is a huge step. Yeah!
Have you thought about Journaling when you have a free second. Wish I had. Would have helped process feelings and thoughts...
I wanted to leave my phone number in case you needed to call. No pressure tho. 651-639-1359. I'm sure you are receiving good support but if you ever want to talk to someone who has gone thru similar circumstances , I will be here for you. Deb Long -Friend of Karen's from Emmanuel C.C.

What great news on the pathology report! I could have saw that one coming - I don't know why, but often it seems that doctors give you the worst-case scenario first and then later find out it wasn't as bad as it seemed. Amy will continue to heal and to get better, it will just take some time. I'm so glad to hear she's been moved out of ICU. I'm still praying for everyone.

Amy, Kathy and Craig:
As I read through your guestbook again this morning I am reminded of an old Chinese Proverb that says "A child's life is like a piece of paper on which every person leaves a mark." You are very blessed to have some many family members, friends and complete strangers leaving such positive marks in Amy's life. Not a hour goes by that I don't think of you. Not a morning or night passes without everyone in my house asking about Amy. We keep you close at heart always. May each day bring you a new blessing.

Heavenly Father, I come before You right now with thanksgiving for what You've done this week in Amy's life. Father, thank you for the good report that the tumor is benign. We ask Father, that You continue to be with Amy and her parents as she recovers from the surgery. Help the left side of her body to heal quickly so that she will regain full use of her arms & legs. Please touch her eyes too, so that the swollen-ness will go away quickly so that she can see her Mom & Dad and all the others who love and care for her so much. I thank You and praise You for being the Great Physician and hearing all of our prayers on behalf of Amy. We ask all these things in Your Precious Holy Name, AMEN

I thank God in the name of Jesus Christ for you all to be in good health. Believe it!! Great things will happen! Take care of yourselves, I will check on Amy tomorrow.

Amy and Parents,
My prayers go out for each of you. Having a child going through surgery after surgery is very stressfull, to say the least. I know. I had a son born with a Cleft Lip and Palate and he has had many, many surgeries since about the age of 6 months. He just turned 17 on 9-11. As a parent, your heart goes out for them even more so during these times. I truly understand how you all must feel. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery for Amy and the spiritual support for you, the parents, to be there for your daughter. I know we have never met and probaly never will, but it is truly amazing how human beings can share so much and care so much for others in times of need and support. I wish the best for you all. God bless you all and I hope to hear that Amy is up and about soon.
Best wishes and warmest regards,

I am sure at this point that you can feel God's presence but Amy is so young that she may not realize---that warmth she feels around her is God's angels sent to watch over her and the love of all those praying for her.

Just stopped in to check on Amy's recovery progress. I'm sorry to hear that Amy had a bad night. I will continue to pray that Amy will have a full and complete recovery. I know she must be getting so frustrated with all the tubes and not feeling well. Perhaps her frustration is a sign of wanting to get better quicker. :) Take each day one small step at a time, God is listening and hearing the prayers being offered up for Amy. Mom and Dad be sure to take some time for yourself and get some rest when you can. You all will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm continuing to read Amy's updates. The healing process can be painful and it is easy to think that something might be 'wrong' when the body is just doing its job of healing itself. It will take time but Amy has a long life ahead of her and this will soon be something she can read about in the scrapbooks and then smile, knowing its behind her.
(I used to work w/ Kathy at Amex. She probably remembers me as being a pain!)

Amy, Kathy and Craig:

What a tremendous relief for all of you on receiving such positive news after the surgery! It made my day. Now, the healing begins and some rough spots here and there, but Amy is a strong girl, and the love of her family and friends will be just what the three of you need to weather those moments. You are so blessed to have so many to care and help share your burden.

Again, if there is something I can do to help, give a shout - I'm just across the street.

Hang in there, everyone!

Dear Amy and Mom and Dad - My prayers are with you all at this difficult time. I'm so glad to hear the good news about the surgery. The neat thing is we have a God who listens ... and I'm asking Him to be with you every inch of the way as you start the healing process, as I am confident you will be healed completely, Amy. I've asked a wonderful group of praying friends to add you to their prayer lists ... and they in turn will ask others to do the same. It's safe to say there are thousands and thousands of people lifting you all in prayer!

Little Amy,
My little Amanda had a surgery very similar to yours 5 years ago... Amanda had Dr. Nagib too and probably many of the same nurses and doctors you do. She was maybe in the same room. We understand your thoughts and feelings of being scared and unsure of all that is happening.
By the way , your Aunt Karen told us about you at church! She thinks you are so wonderful and loves you so much!! We prayed for you and your Mommy and Daddy and rest of the family too. Jesus keeps bringing me thoughts of you and your family so that I can remember to pray for you . Isn't that special? He sure does love you and each one in your family!
I know you need a good night sleep tonite so maybe I can write again sometime! I will be talking to Jesus all day tomorrow about you and for many days. Amanda's Mom

I am also passing this along to others. God Bless and keep you at this time of uncertainty, and I ask Him to give ALL the caregivers, from doctors on down, the ability to do their own special jobs to get the tumor all out, keep her from infection, and a quick and painless recovery.In Jesus'Name, I ask. Amen.

Your updates are really informative and good to read. Sorry we can't be there this week, but Rebecca and I will see you Friday if Amy's taking visitors. Olivia says Hi and hopes Amy feels better soon. She's been saying little prayers, singing get-well songs, and drawing pictures for Amy. She can't wait to see Amy again. Take good care of your own selves, Mom and Dad (and Grandmas and Grandpas). We all love you so much!

Amy, Craig and Kathy,
Hello, my name is Terri and I live in California. I learned about Amy from Pam at the Alan Jackson website. Amy you know Pam loves you very much and she wants to help you feel better. There are prayers being said around the world for you Amy that you will feel God's love and know that His Angels are watching over you. Amy you are a beautiful child of God and many many people are praying for you and your family. Miracles DO happen with the power of prayer.
Craig and Kathy, my heart goes out to you at this most difficult time in your lives, may you be comforted to know that so many people care for you and Amy. I know first hand the power of prayer, in May 2000 my husband had brain surgery to remove and repair bleeding masses of arteries in 2 areas of his brain. Nine months later my 9 year old daughter also had brain surgery to repair and remove a mass of bleeding arteries. Both have made full and complete recoveries, thanks to advanced medical technology, the excellent surgical skills of Dr. Adam Mamelak and his staff at City Of Hope Medical Center, and most importantly through the power of prayer that brought forth miracles. I will continue to pray for Amy, that she will have a complete recovery. Craig and Kathy I pray that you will find strength in knowing so many people are thinking of you and care for you.
May God in Heaven shine His Light Upon you and may you feel the blessing of many miracles.
Big hugs to you all.
Sincerely, Terri Jennings

Hey Amy and Family,
Want you to know that you all are in my prayers. I have known of you for a long time from Pam. I enjoyed seeing the pictures from the park and other outings that you took with Pam. And I think her boys might have even gone on one or two.
When you get better,you need to talk Pam in to taking you to the park so we can see some more pictures.
I live in TN and think I may be kinda close to your grandparents.

My daughter, Deborah Johnson, called and asked if I would put Amy on our prayer chain and this I have already done. Our prayer chain has seen a lot of miracles this year and we pray that Amy may be one of them. In the morning, I plan to call two friends in other states and ask them to also put her on their prayer chains. As the mother of five and grandmother of six plus being a former nurse, I understand what you must be going through but cannot imagine the pain in your hearts. May God bless you all.

I'm so sorry to hear you are sick, I have done nothing but think about you ever since I found out.

Dear Amy, Kathy and Craig:
I just came home from Russia and I want you to know that people are praying for Amy all over the country. Tonight at 10:30 pm our time the special service will start at the city of Yekaterinburg, Ural mountains. It will take place at the Savior's On the Blood Temple. This church is build over the room where Nicolay Romanov's family was executed and this is a sacred place for Russian people. They have the icon there that is known for its healing power. Many people were healed by that icon. Just 2 weeks ago the memorial service was held there for the kids that died in the terrorists' attack in Beslan. Tonight people will be praying over that miraculous icon asking those new little angels in Heaven to pray for their sister Amy.
My dearest, our hearts are bleeding for Amy and we want you to know that people of Russia are with you at this time. We are asking our Father to help you and we want you to feel our love.

Hi Amy! This is Miss Kelly from New Horizon. I can't believe it was two years ago that you came to Pre 1, and I was your teacher on the first day. You have grown so much since then, in character and in strength. I have been reading your guestbook and updates daily, and I am encouraged by the amount of support and prayer that you have! I want you to know that I miss your smile and can't wait to see you again! Jesus told us to pray without ceasing, and we are all praying for you constantly!!!
To mom and dad, we miss seeing your smiling faces each morning also. New Horizon parents are a family to each of us also and we miss the support that you silently give each one of us!! Stay strong and trust that the Lord uses each moment and event for a purpose. We just need to wait a little longer to find out what that purpose is!

Andrew was particularly curious about my trip to see Amy tonight so we talked a bit about what was going on, etc. He can't wait to see his little pal and give her some hugs and do what they do........all that silly talk and messing around. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. Give the pumpkin a big squeeze for us!

Dear Amy,
I am Ms. Anne Kristine, and have been working in the School Age room at New Horizon for over 3 months. I have also had the wonderful opportunity to come into Pre 3 and help out Ms. Sara and Ms. Lindsey, and want you to know that your smile and cheerfulness is sorely missed! We love you, Amy, and so many of us are praying regularly for you.

Mom and Dad,
Remember to rely on Jesus for strength and endurance during this time--His love for you abounds, and He hears our prayers. He loves Amy so much--that is why He created her. She is in good hands.

We are so excited to see you back at New Horizon, Amy, and hope that it will be very soon! Lots of prayers, love, hugs, and kisses...

Ms. Anne Kristine

With all the prayers and prayer chains out there - EXPECT A MIRACLE! EXPECT A MIRACLE - A friend of mine reminded me that God sent a angel to hold Amy's hand and she WILL BE OUR MIRACLE! GOD SPEED.

Craig , Kathy & Amy - We heard about Amy from Craig's brother Steve at CH Robinson. My husband Kent works with Craig. Although we've never met, we understand how frightened you must be. Our 4 month old daughter was recently diagnosed with a neuroblastoma and is under the care of the oncology department at Children's. As I'm sure you know, Amy is under the care of the most gifted and caring staff available. Also know you can rest in the arms of family, friends and God. Amy is a beautiful child! Our prayers of peace and strength to Amy and your family. God Bless.

Dear Amy,
I'm so glad to hear that you are awake and showing some of your cute spunk again! I'm one of the teacher's from your school. I know you, but I doubt that you know me! I'm usually with all those noisy Toddlers in Room 2, along with Ms. Laura!!

I work with Ms. Angie every morning before the sun comes up! She misses you SO MUCH!!

I was there shortly after you didn't feel well. Since I used to work as an RN (nurse). I wanted to be near-by in case you needed any help before the paramedics came. You luckily didn't need my help. When you were not feeling well I was able to be with all your friends on the playground instead. They were concerned about you. They LOVE you!! You have SO many friends at New Horizon!
Love, Ms. Susan

Mom and Dad: I am one of those few parent's that can say that they pretty much **KNOW** what you are going through and mean it. [My now High School daughter has been in complete remission for nearly 7 yrs now. (10cm tumor between heart and lung, given 10 days to survive) (Had Dr. Anne Bendel at Children's)].

My thoughts and prayers have been with you all week. My daughter has also made a point to pray for Amy every day.

When things calm down, feel free to contact me if you would like any support references or have any questions from someone that has walked down this path before.

In His Grace,

Amy will hang tough and will manage through this terrible time. I think you'll see her humor and "spunk" come out and that might help you too. I will be praying for all of you throughout each day. I wish I could help someway, but I guess that'll be left to God. It sounds like there are plenty of us around you to do the praying. You're in my thoughts.

Kathy, I was so saddened to hear about Amy. I can only imagine what you and Craig must be going through right now. I wish I could offer some great words of wisdom or insight but the only thing I can think of is to let go and put your faith in God to see you through this horrible ordeal.

I'm stuggling with the big question of "why" - why do bad things happen to good people? The only thing I can think of is that maybe your recent air travel put pressure on Amy's brain to start the bleeding which will turn out to be a Godsend because it meant you were able to catch the tumor in time to treat it!

Please, please let us know if there is anything we do for you or your family - we will all be praying for you and sending comforting thoughts your way.

God Bless, Galen McKay & Family

Dear Amy: Your auntie, Gail, told me you are't feeling very well. There is a special prayer that I like to say for little girls who aren't feeling well and it almost always works! I asked God to send his very special angels to watch over you and to whisper to the doctors all the things they need to know to make you well.

Craig, I know this is a very trying time for you and your family. The scariest part is the unknown. Always keep your hopes up and take the advise of the hospital staff. They know what's best for you and Kathy and of course Amy. Utilize all the support you get, and take care of yourselves too. Having been through this myself (my husband) I speak from some experience. If you need anything at all, just ask. Take care, I am thinking of you all. Karen
