I woke up this mornig thinking I was going to have another guardian angel watching over me. Jamie's family had decided yesterday that they were going to pull the plug on the life support today. I got the call early this morning that they had decided to do it early in the day instead of putting it off. I was pretty upset. Being that they are so far away I wasn't able to ever go to the hospital to see her, and this just made things worse.
At about noon my time I got the call. Although it wasn't quite the call I had expected. They had pulled the plug almost an hour ago. Remarkably, however, Jamie woke up as the doctors went to turn off and unplug the machines. She also started breathing on her own. This is absolutely unheard of. We are all in shock. She seems to be as healthy as she can be given the fact that she's fighting cancer. The doctors just want to run some brain damage tests and other things and by this time next week she'll be able to go home.
Jamie has a long road ahead of her, and none of us are getting are hopes up too high as we know that this can happen again at any moment. But for right now we're celebrating the fact that we don't have to say goodbye just yet.
We love you Jamie!! Keep on fighting!!!
