I’ve been keeping up with Amy for the last year, almost since her diagnosis. She has already lived much longer than anyone said she would. The Lord has sustained her life and He hears our prayers. Here’s the latest update (Tuesday, 7-17, evening) from her blog:

This is Brandon, posting for Amy. Amy has been running fevers off and on all day long today, so they did some chest X-rays as part of normal procedure for when she runs fevers, and the X-rays showed contaminants in both lungs. From what I understand it is most likely a fungal infection of some sort that has been able to develop because of her low counts from chemo. Sometime in the next day or two she will get a CAT scan as well as have a Bronchoscopy (from what I understand it is a tube stuck down her throat into her lungs to examine the inside of the lungs) — and they will also take a water-based biopsy from her lungs at the same time (though I must admit I don’t really understand it or how it works at this point in time, especially since I wasn’t there when the doctors explained it).

Anyway, all that to say, if you could pray for her these next couple days in regards to each of the two testes (CAT scan and Bronchoscopy), as well as in regards to her infection and fevers, we’d appreciate it very much.

Her faithful testimony of God’s grace to her and her family throughout her suffering is inspirational. Spend some time reading her story and pray for her today.

If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together. 1 Corinthians 12:26

Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Romans 12:15

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. 1 Peter 3:12

The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgiving be made for all people…1 Timothy 2:1

Psalm 4

Psalm 6

Psalm 102
verse 1 says, “Hear my prayer, O LORD; let my cry come to you!”

And going a little farther he [Jesus] fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”
Matthew 26:39, 42
