My Daughter Amanda - update #218, 336
Posted on 08/14/2014 5:55:53 AM PDT by PigRigger
My heart breaks as I write this....as I have posted before....my daughter has been fighting Heroin addiction.
Yesterday....after entering sober living....she relapsed and OD'd. The medics brought her back....but we have no idea as to what to expect when we get to her....we are flying to her side as we speak...
Please pray for our daughter...pray for us...to allow for God's will and grace to find and cover her in His healing.

Prayers for your strength as you sit by your daughter’s bedside. May God simply pour out his grace and presence to help you keep on. I am so, so sorry for your struggles with Amanda...and I pray she wakes with renewed determination. Your family will be in my prayers.

I, too, join in asking our Heavenly Father
to intercede on Amanda's behalf
and that He will break the chain of addiction
and restore her health and mind.
I ask in Jesus' name. Amen!

Print this thread and give it to Amanda.
Although she is still asleep.....I am reading them to her....in hopes she some how hears them...
To: PigRigger
In addition...not much of a change to her condition....the doctors performed an EEG this morning...results will be back tomorrow...that will likley be telling in what to expect when they wake her...supposedly the breathing tube comes out today as well.
Thanks a lot FRiends for the support.
To: PigRigger; Kathy in Alaska
Continuing to pray for the best. Thanks for the update.

Your family is still in our thoughts and prayers.
Posting on FR was a good decision. I needed help a few weeks ago and the thread was an amazing, God-led lifesaver for me.
Please know so many are praying for your family's strength. We share in your heartache and tears. Circumstances may be different....but crying and praying for our children is a common denominator.

Thanks and I feel the same....
Tomorrow is a big day for us....Amanda will have her breathing and feeding tubes removed....and we get the results back from the EEG....
Late this evening Amanda opened her eyes when I was talking to her....she responded by moving her fingers and toes when asked....I hope I was not imagining it....she looked terrified....her last memories were laying down after taking the drug....I tried to reassure her that everything was alright and she should close her eyes and try to sleep...again....I think she did....
What I am finding that is amazing is how people from my past....who I have not talked with for decades.....have stepped up to help....one person in particular....a sober living alcoholic...has seen to it that we have been surrounded by those of strong faith to assist us....from clergy who have prayed over our daughter before we arrived....to others.... who will be counseling us come Monday...
God is good...and is with us....reminding us that we are not alone....as we remind Amanda that neither is she...We are not out of the woods...but hope exists again this evening...
God Bless all of you...
To: PigRigger
Today has not been good....Amanda has a condition caused acidosis....it is not responding to treatment....it is potentially deadly....
Multiple tests are being run...to understand the cause....so a treatment can be determined....
Please pray for God's healing grace.....
To: PigRigger
Continued prayers for Amanda and your family. Please keep us posted.

Thank you all....Amanda is resting comfortably tonight....more tests tomorrow.....
As an old friend of mine says....Amanda is “In His Grip”.....may the good Lord hear his childrens cries and prayers....and intercede with His healing grace....
To: PigRigger
Get some rest if you can, FRiend. Your Amanda will be held up in prayers while you rest. Lord, grant Your gracious peace upon this family.

Today they have stabilized most of the issues.....what remains is the her cognitive abilities....there looks to be some degree of brain issues....to what degree the physicians are unsure...we won’t know until she wakes up.
They are hoping to start the waking procss late tomorrow or Tuesday.
We have been praying over her and talking to her constantly....asking for the Lord to intercede and heal her.
I never have felt such love for my child, it is as if my insides are being poured out....and my soul is being ruptured....
I have to have the faith that God’s love is unimaginably stronger.....and He would not have saved her if there was not a reason for such....
So please keep praying for the Lords healing power to bestowed upon Amanda....
To: ZinGirl
Lord, continue to bless this family. Your Love and concern is already evident. Thank you, Lord, for keeping Your child Amanda on our heart and thoughts as we go about our day. Thank you, Lord, for continuing Your presence and strength to be poured out to those who yearn for Your touch. Praise to You, Lord. Amen.
PR, thank you for update in your difficulties. Amanda ...and your family ...are in our thoughts.
