Released

Amy is just unbelievable!

 

Amy is so very unselfish.  Today at church, she was released from her old calling in Primary.  Typically, this means she gets the day off.  But today they needed her to continue in her role for one more day.  Still, it's no problem for her, she's very helpful that way.  But then she is asked to fill in for the nursery leader for a short spell.  It then drags on to over an hour.  Again, it's no problem.  She loves the kids, and loves helping out.

Amy's had serious back problems for the past 3 years.  Surgeries, physical therapy, and pain medication has not fixed the problem, but has help make it more manageable.  Yet, every Sunday she gets up, goes to church, puts in the full day helping out, (which proves to be very physically demanding) and the goes home to crash with her head hurting and lots of back pain.  Headaches requiring "lights-out" seclusion for hours, sometimes days, conclude almost every Sunday at church.  

But that doesn't stop her.  Knowing where she will most likely end her day, she insists on going and giving it her all.  There have been weeks where she's turned to me Saturday night or early Sunday morning and said, "Just make sure I make it.  No matter what!"  Amazing!  Her dedication and determination is simply amazing!

So today, her time in the nursery blows out her back.  She's in terrible pain when she text messages me to come help her.  We get her medication, replacements show up, and it's almost like it never happened!  Amazing!

Today she has no headache, but her back is in a lot of pain.  She's crying out in pain as she moves in bed as I type this.  But tomorrow she'll be up and around with Paige.  She has plans for a play-date for Paige and a visit with a close friend.  She'll be there.  She just keeps trying!  It's Amazing!
