Hello Friends,
Thank you so much for all your support and prayers. You cannot imagine how much knowing that you were praying for Amelya comforted us and got us through the last couple of weeks and especially the last couple of days. It was especially comforting yesterday knowing you all were praying, just as we were before and during the surgery.

Most of all, we want to thank God. Based on all the doctors expected to happen yesterday, it is truly a miracle. The doctor only had to make one cut; the tumor was smaller than what the doctor expected to find; the tumor was not connected to any of her vital organs; the surgery did not compromise or harm any of her organs. We truly are thankful to God for all of this.

Amelya woke up this morning and asked to sit up. She drank and ate some, and talked with us a bit. She even felt good enough for a few moments to "ham it up" and smile for the camera.
A couple of hours after this picture Amelya was moved out of the ICU and into a room. While she slept most of the day, she is doing well and went most of the day without complaining of pain. God truly is good.

Please keep praying for Amelya. While we all feel the worst is over, there will still be more treatment to make sure all the tumor is gone. In addition, with this type of cancer, there is the possibility of re-occurrence until she is fully grown. Pray with us that she will soon be diagnosed as cancer free, and remain that way.

Again, thank you all for your concern and prayers.

God bless,
Larry and Amanda, and brothers Garrett and Nic
