Phoebe is doing great! As expected, she needs a blood transfusion for low hemoglobin just as she does each time she has this particular round of chemo. Tomorrow morning I will take her in to Dallas to be transfused which usually takes about four hours, and then we should come home.
There has been a pretty joyous atmosphere around here lately. It feels so good to not have the next round of chemo looming ahead. I can’t believe that when her counts come back up they just get to keep going up, up, up! It will be such an incredible feeling to be able to take her out and about without worrying about her immune system.
She keeps telling everyone, “My hair’s gonna grow back!”…it’s the sweetest thing. She already has a little bit of peach fuzz and looks so sweet.
We had our meeting with the social worker to apply again for night help and we are still waiting to hear back about it. He was very encouraging and we feel very hopeful that we will be approved. I will continue to post updates and pictures as Phoebe recovers. You all have become so much a part of our journey through your prayers and encouragement these past 14 months that I can’t imagine not keeping you posted!
All our love and gratitude to you, Amey
Nathan and Amey,
So happy for you as the chemo journey comes to a close. Wishing Phoebe all the best with the blood transfusion tomorrow and regaining her energy and enjoying her new look with hair as she starts preening herself in the mirror.
Hope the boys are doing well and in good shape to play with their little sister as she gains her energy back.
Also, praying that your grandmother is doing well. Im sure she must miss your grandfather Zig.
Done!!! What a journey it has been. Staying beside you all and continuing to pray. Praying this night nurse is approved.
Blessings

Since the very first day that our mutual friend Sara Fu shared y’all’s story with me your family & Pheobe have been in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing her & y’all’s life with us! I am soo excited for the good news and the end of chemo for Pheobe. Know that you all will continue to be in my thoughts and prayers and even though you don’t know me if you ever need anything g I am just a few miles drive away in Tyler.
Your families faith in God and how his work is to be done has been a blessing to see even through the uncertainties and struggles.
Oh, Amey, on the contrary, it is I who thank you and Phoebe and Nathan and the boys for allowing me to share your joy and sorrow. When it becomes a burden, I will understand. And I hope you will understand how God has blessed me through you.
Bless Phoebe and all of you to have a wonderful and joyous life all days ahead. All the best for transfusion. Phoebe is extraordinary and blessed.
Thank you for the update and for feeling like you can still update us! I look forward to any and all updates! Thanking God that all is going well 🙂

I just joined the band wagon recently but I just love that little girl. I feel like I’ve known her all her life. I’m so happy for you all! I can’t wait to watch your precious little girl grow more every day.
I cont. to lift u all up. Your journey stirred up a lot of emotions for me as when our daughter who was 7 at the time had the flu and it attacked her heart. We lost hyper twice and thru the attacks she suffer couple strokes. She is now 31 and her and her husband and our two grandbabies pastor in SC. Our hospital journey was not as long as yours it was the years of the recovering she went thru. God is so faithful. He is our Peace. He is our strength and our Healer. We cont to Praise God for his hand on your family. Can’t wait to see all thqt curly hair with ribbons and bows. We r continuing to believe for night help tooooo. Keep us posted. Frank and Pam in Ga. Blessings.
Praise the Lord, Hallelujah! We are so happy for all of you and will continue to lift you up. What a journey for you all – especially Phoebe. Hugs to you all, Marilyn
Praise God. I look forward to seeing Phoebe grow strong and healthy. Will continue to pray for her and your entire family. With love from Calgary Alberta Canada.
We are all just about as excited as you that Phoebe is done with the chemo. I pray you are able to relax some and not carry that fear that “it has come back”. I pray she is healed completely and will only be getting better and better every day. I pray the boys will also be ‘healed’ of the worry and anxiety for their sister. I pray you and Nathan will be rested and able to give time to your relationship with each other. I pray for total healing for your entire family! I thank the Lord you have gotten to this point, there were times I wondered if Phoebe would still be here by this time, as I am sure you wondered the same thing.
Love and continued prayers!

Praise God!! I’ve been following Phoebe and the Fair family since just after her surgery, and my prayers won’t stop. Hoping you’re approved for a helper this time Thank you (entire family) for being such an incredible inspiration. BTW, I can’t wait to see those beautiful curly golden locks again!
