Sad News and MDS

Hi I have not posted in here for a long time due to Amy's health . We wanted to let you all know that Amy did the toughest fight one can do , I can honestly say I tried everything a long with the Doc to treat Amy's Bone marrow .
We are sad to say as of Jan 26 ,2015 we are putting the battle to an end and taking Amy home with Hospice . The Lord is calling her home to be another Angel in Heaven !
Thank you all for listening ,prayers and for Gifts ,But most of all your love and compassion.

Love you all and keep on fighting we will pray that one day they will find a end to all of this blood sickness .

Sue and Amy

Sue,

We've followed your every word, and all the ups and downs since last summer, and your love for Amy shines through every day.

Amy is so young and it's so sad that she didn't get what so many of us take for granted. You are doing what's best for her, as you've always done, and my wife and I wish you both peace.

Really sorry to hear this news Sue. No one could have done more than you have to give their child the best possible chance at life . May God give you strength and provide all your needs at this time. Praying for you.
