Amaraโs family has shared an update on her journey, and while the road remains incredibly difficult, there is a glimmer of hope to hold onto today. Please continue to keep them all in your thoughts and prayers.

The last few weeks have been the hardest Amaraโs family has ever faced. After undergoing chemotherapy for her brain tumor, Amara caught parainfluenza and her lungs became very sick. Medical teams are still trying to pinpoint exactly what is happening, as no bacteria has grown in her blood cultures. At one point, the family was told her lungs might not recover, and they came incredibly close to losing her.
Today, however, there is a bit of hope to hold onto. Amara is more stable. Her lungs are holding better, and the PICU team is planning to wake her from sedation on Tuesday. That means they will start reducing the breathing tube support to see if she can begin breathing more on her own.
She remains critically ill, and there is still a long road ahead. But โmore stableโ and โwaking up Tuesdayโ are words the family didnโt think they would get to hear this week.
