Surrounding me are voices echoing down the hall, phones ringing in the distance, an air unit humming as it cools my room on this warm September day and every few seconds my IV pump makes a sound that oddly reminds me of a camera. These noises are now comforting and familiar.

Prayers of thanksgiving that you were able to be diagnosed and treated so quickly.

God bless and hope you are all better real soon!
Amy Caroline, I am so very sorry. I can not imagine the struggle your heart must be feeling. My family and I will be praying for you, your daughter and your family.

Through Jesus Christ. Amen.
Into your hands, I commend my body and my soul. Amen.
