update

Aimee's still in critical condition. It's difficult to pinpoint what the particular complication is. her heart rate is very high and she's very bloated too. still extremely fatigued and having difficulty staying alert. they have a lot of theories and are treating things as they can.

she was extremely dehrydated because her lymph had been leaking into her abdomen. the liver isn't working great at this point either.

they are currently draining all the fluid that has accumulated in her belly. hopefully this will bring her relief as she is in a good amount of pain.

I'm working on those Divine Mercy chaplets praying that His "unimagineable graces" provide peace and comfort during this most difficult time to both you and Aimee, Will. Best, Kelly

My thoughts and prayers are with you all. My brother is being treated at BI also for malignant melanoma stage IV and despite difficult moments from surgeries through several different chemo treatments the specialists have been right there to help him through as they will help Aimee. He is receiving a new treatment now and we continue to pray for healing. The power of prayer and depth of faith guided us all through the most difficult of moments. I wish you strength and hope in uplifting Aimee. If I can be of support in any way with info, etc., please email me anytime at rarhills@aol.com

Dear Lord Jesus, in your mercy and kindness, restore our Aimee in good health body & soul just for the sake of your 2 little Childhen, Xavier & Tilly, whom you have given Aimee & Will.
Lord Jesus, we know you do love Xavier & Tilly, we beg you like the Canaanite Woman in the Gospel of Matt,"help us Lord, for even the dogs eat the scraps that fall from the table of their masters." (Matt 15: 24-27)
Lord God, at a time like this we feel lost & confused, we do believe in your power; help us overcome our unbelief. Let us keep our hope & faith in God, the Good shepherd who Knows & loves Aimee, Will, Tilly & Xavier more than we do. Let us find comfort in this word of St. Paul" I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus." Phil 1:6
peace

I am so saddened, and offer whatever small help my humble prayers might bring.

May our Savior's presence be close to all in your family.
