Gradual Progress and Continued Prayers

We’re grateful to share that Amy was released from the hospital this past weekend. Over the past several weeks, her medical team has worked carefully to identify the cause of the symptoms she’s been experiencing—symptoms that have affected her balance, clarity, and energy.

After running multiple tests and consultations, the doctors now believe these issues were connected not only to elevated thyroid levels but also to a reaction from one of her anti-rejection medications. These medications are necessary and life-sustaining, but they also require delicate balance. The doctors have made adjustments to her anti-rejection regimen, and since then, Amy’s symptoms have been gradually improving.

While she still faces moments of fatigue and discomfort, we are encouraged by the progress she’s making. Her liver continues to function well, and the transplant team remains optimistic about her recovery.

Please continue to pray for Amy’s continued stability, that her thyroid levels and medication balance will normalize, and that her strength and endurance will continue to increase day by day.

We remain deeply thankful for each of you who have prayed, encouraged, and walked beside us through this journey. Your faithfulness has been a tangible reminder of God’s sustaining grace.

With heartfelt gratitude,
James
