Awake.

"Let all those praying know that Sleeping Beauty has awakened. Our Heavenly Father has given us a miracle." ~Julie (mom)

This evening Amber is awake and somewhat responsive. This waking up business is a process which still will take a lot of time, but her eyes have opened and she can hear us. The doctors are watching her and are very pleased with her amazing progress today. We are too!

Please know how much your prayers, fasting, love, and positive thoughts mean to us. Thank you for joining with us in calling down the healing powers of heaven. We are most certainly witnessing a true miracle and it is absolutely incredible.

  8. I don't personally know Amber, but Brooke Huntsman is my neice. I have been reading all of these posts. This story has touched my heart. I joined in your fast and what a privilidge that was for me to fast for someone that I didn't even know. It was a very great experience. I know of our Heavenly Fathers love. He knows each of us and loves us all. I am so happy for the good news that you as her family are receiving at this time. What a true miracle. I wish the best for all of your family.
