A dear friend of Pat and me is in dire need of prayer.
Amanda was born with some very rare renal disease, only a handful of people in the world have it. Her parents were told she’d never live past the age of 10. She’s had 2 kidney transplants in her life. One kidney is shut down completely and the other is just about completely shut down. She does home dialysis every day. Over the past year she’s been getting increasingly worse. She’s been in the hospital several times, the last time she ended up intubated and they really thought she was going to die. Miraculously she pulled through!
She’s had several serious infections and the site where they do they dialysis has been moved so many times that her veins are like cement. The site is seriously infected again. She’s now septic. They can’t just pull the dialysis tube out. And they can’t move it. She’s on a massive dose of antibiotics which will kill her kidneys completely without the dialysis.
So the doctors were going to try to come up with a plan of action today. Harry strongly feels there’s nothing more that human hands can do for her. She’s definately in God’s hands.
In fact, so much so, that while she’s unresponsive to everyone, when she hears Praise and Worship music in the room, she will actually hum to it. She did wake up once and told Harry that she’s tired and wishes she was dead. She just wants to go home to her Lord now. She’s had to fight so hard for so long. Her entire life has been a miracle and a major inspiration to everyone who knows her.
I pray that God does another miracle for her. But I also pray that if he’s ready to call her home that He does so quickly so she doesnt suffer. Going home to her Lord will be her ultimate healing. I pray for peace and wisdom and strength for Harry.
Harry was the best man at our wedding. They are such amazing people. My heart and soul aches for them right now.
