UPDATE TUESDAY 6.45pm - 23RD JUNE 2015
This is from Amy's phone late this afternoon and I quote -
"Nat had a pretty unsettled night woken for hourly obs etc. and was really exhausted this morning after a big day of visitors etc. It appeared she'd taken a few steps back. But then saw her again around lunchtime and she actually woke up opened her eyes saw me touched my face and said "Oh! you are here..... I asked if she knew who I was and she said of course you're Amy. It was really comforting I gave her a kiss and she tried to reach up and cuddle me. We had a little laugh and joke - she was saying some stuff that was a bit "la la" land but overall positive. The Doctor's are saying she needs some quiet time now and just immediate family. She is having an Angiogram on Thursday and will be under more close obs - waiting to hear on how she goes over the next few days. I've asked Julie (Nat's mum) her thoughts on the 'girls' visiting on Friday and at this point she has asked that we hold off. I'm sorry I know we all want to see her and show support and love, but she is still in ICU (Intensive Care Unit) and will be for at least 2 weeks. Merrin, Nat's sister in law will keep me informed, so I will keep you guys informed too. XXXX Love Amy"
Amy is going back down to Sydney on Thursday and has asked me to come too. I'm regarded as 'close' family, so I hope I will be able to see her. I'll just have to wait and see. If not, then at least I'll be company for Amy. Please keep praying for daily/nightly or whenever you think of it. Love to you all, Chris
Thanks for the update, Chris. Prayers been sent her way, for a full recovery.
Chris ,this is going to take time,but Natalie will be herself again. There are so many praying for her and you are already seeing God's hand in this. It's times like this that I wish so much I could I could be there,put my arms around you and tell you,how very much I care because I do. I'm sitting here with tears because I know this is as if it was your very own child and you feel helpless. Much love and hugs/Lillan

Praying. Hope everything goes well for her. Hugs Shirley
My heart aches to hear this. Such a young beautiful girl. I am praying for her and her family. May God place his healing hands upon her and may she recover fully. Hugs, Mary
Sorry to hear that news, but if it makes you feel any better, I can tell you it is possible to come back after suffering a rupture of an aneursym and lead a "normal" life. I suffered one 3 years ago and today, I do everything I did before. I fly my own ultralight plane, I sew, I drive. If she does Facebook, she will find a support group under the Joe Neikro Foundation. It is a wonderful resource for people like us. We are survivors. Will be praying for her.
Thank you Jean for this encouraging news. We are just waiting for the surgeon's report. She is still in an induced coma, but signs of movements on her right - not the left as yet! Love Chris
I am so sorry to hear this news. Amy must be heart broken, as I was, when this happened to a friend of mine. My friend has made an amazing recovery, but has another one, that they are 'watching'. It has been about 2 years and in fact she goes Friday, to have the dye put in to check the coiling they did on the first one and to look at the second. I asked my class for prayer, for Natalie ,this morning. I pray for Amy and all of you, as well. May God show his mighty, healing power of Natalie, and we all sing glory to His name.
Thanks so much Toogie, I am so thankful for all of you Cuties who have offered prayers for her. Thank you too to your class in Church for Natalie. She is a very special friend to Amy. Love Chris
Thinking and praying for all of you..especially Natalie...I am amazed at how much these lovely ladies look alike...they could be sisters...well, I am sure they are 'sisters of the heart'...so hoping for a happy ending...
Thanks Kim, they have been through thick and thin these two. Natalie is like our 3rd daughter, so it's been heart-wrenching to hear of this. Natalie is one of Amy's bridesmaids for her wedding next year, as was Amy when Natalie got married. Love Chri
Prayers for Natalie, for a full recovery!
Hugs, Lidia
What a terrible shock for you all. Sending enormous, pleading prayers for her total recovery.
Sending my prayers for a positive outcome.
Hugs
Jerri
Prayers for Natalaie's healing and strength for her family and friends!!
Sending my prayers to her that she will be alright with no complications. I am a survivor of brain surgery but my aneurysm was found and removed before it ruptured. Juanita
I am amazed at how many people have suffered from this. Thanks for your story and I know she will survive. Love Chris
Prayers being sent her way. Please keep us posted on her condition.
I really pray everything will go well for this young lady. Hugs Lynn
Adding myself to all the Cutie prayer warriors. I pray for complete healing and fast recovery for Natalie
Chris, I pray for this beautiful woman as God heals her completely and restores her to full health. Amen.
I am so sorry to hear this. Her youth and the immediate surgery will bring her through this. This is what happened to To RoƱ 8yrs ago but his was inoperable and they could not stop the bleeding for 14 hrs. Prayers already and I will bring her before church this morning for more prayers. I have faith she will come through this with no residual problems. Keep the faith!!/Lillian
Thanks so much Miss Lillian. I really appreciate your prayers and your Church's too. I'm a great believer in prayer and I know that He hears all our requests. Love Chris
Oh!!! How awful for you all. I truly hope all goes well. I will be sending love and light and praying for a Full recovery. Hugs for all. Love Didi. xxxx
They look like sisters. I will be praying for Natalie and her family and friends. She is so young to have this happen.
Thanks Grace, yes, I've just got off the phone to Mum and she said the same thing. She is a gorgeous young woman. I appreciate your prayers. Love Chris
