Dear
friends,
Jamie's family is exhausted tonight and can't write down what happened just yet. There are lots of different scenarios floating around about what exactly happened to her. Her family will write a more detailed account in the next day or so, but for now they have asked that I tell you that she fell backwards off of a culvert in Hell's Canyon to rocks about 12 ft. below and sustained major head trauma. She was life flighted to Boise where she underwent emergency brain surgery that lasted about 3 hours. Jamie is currently being sedated and kept in a coma to allow her brain to heal. She has been very responsive today and the family has much hope. Please keep Jamie, Nick and their entire family in your prayers. The next two days are extremely critical. We will continue to post updates as they become available.

Praying for Jamie and the entire family. Rest assured she sits in the palm of God. He knows what He is doing. Keep your head up and faith intact. Prayers from Colorado ....
ReplyDeleteSending prayers and light to Jamie and her family.
ReplyDeleteBrave girls sent me.....praying for a complete recovery. 14 years ago this past May 10 (and it was Mothers day to top it off) my son was in a car/bicycle accident and suffered a traumatic brain injury. What a long road to recovery it was...I look back and think without my faith, family and friends I would have not been able to get through that very hard time. He was in the hospital a long time and recovered so well...he is now 28 independent and doing well. I believe in prayerful healing and he is my testimony that prayer WORKS. Saying a prayer now and sending love to family and friends in this most trying time.
ReplyDeleteMy own beautiful daughter fell victim to H1N1 a few years ago, and was gravely ill. We nearly lost her. She experienced miraculous recovery, in large part due to the prayers of strangers from around the world. Though we have never met, you can be certain I am praying for you and your precious Jamie and expecting a miracle. May you all be given the strength, wisdom, faith and endurance you need to bring Jamie through this, to complete recovery. You all have my love, prayers and healing thoughts from Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteSending thoughts and prayers to Jamie and your family! I too read about it on Brave Girls. May you all be able to find some peace in each day on this road to recovery. Keep up the good fight Jamie!
ReplyDeleteMy heart aches for her and her family. I am praying for all of them. I'll never forget her sweet family on stage with her when she said her farewell as Mrs. Idaho. I could just feel their love for each other from the audience.
ReplyDeleteSo, so sorry to hear this! Sending lots of prayers and lover to all of you!
ReplyDeleteYou have the Brave Girls community by your side. And it's a powerful force. Combine that power with your own inner strength and your body's resilience, and you will heal at every level.

She left a wonderful impression on me! And I will constantly keep praying for you Jamie and your sweet family!!
ReplyDeleteSending love, light, Reiki, & lot of prayers!
ReplyDeleteSo very sorry for Jamie and her family! As a fellow brave girl I know she has what it takes to get through this. I will keep you all in my daily prayers though. I went through a similar experience with my brother and know how difficult this is for all of you! Hope you feel the love that we are all sending you!
ReplyDeleteLord, thank you. Thank you for this technology that we can all join here and encourage this family. You are good, Lord, and your love endures forever. I just ask that you, please - wrap your arms around this gal. Please comfort her, heal her body, direct her physicians - also giving them peace and clear knowledge on how to tend to her. Draw this family close to you during this time, Lord. Although we don't always have a clear understanding of why things happen - your Word reminds us (Romans 8:28) that All things work together for the GOOD for those who love you. Bring them peace, Lord and in your own way through these difficult days ahead remind them ever so gently of your presence and your mercy. Thank you, Lord. In your Son's precious name, Amen. <3

ReplyDeleteJust saw this via Brave Girls (wow, what a network!)....first prayer already sent. I don't know Jamie or her family, but I so feel for her and her family right now. Very scary. I hope they can feel the love, support and encouragement that's around them - just from the Brave Girls community....not to mention their intimate friends and family. I believe in "strength in numbers" when it comes to prayer, too...so, let's keep this going for this family.

ReplyDeleteKeeping you all in my prayers and sending out love and healing energy to Jamie.
ReplyDeleteI am coming from Brave Girls' Club. I do not know Jamie but I want you to know that I am thinking of you and Jamie and your family are in my prayers. I know only too well how it feels to see your loved one in that hospital bed. I have been an RN for 22 years. My 17 year old son was born with a congenital heart defect. Many times when he was a baby we thought he would not survive. Three years ago his condition got worse and he had to have a heart transplant. He went through rejection and again we thought we would lose him. He survived and is alive and doing well today! When I thought I was alone strangers and friends reached out to us. I felt their prayers and hope you feel ours now also. God will get you and Jamie through this. I will pray hard today for her speedy recovery!
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you Jamie. Much love and care going to you and your family.
ReplyDeleteHang in there Jamie. Come on back to your family. You are so lovely and I know you are loved. Rest awhile in that love and let the healing come in. I will pray for you and your family. Peace and HEALING to you!
ReplyDeleteJamie, You don't know me but that makes no difference. I pray that our lord send his healing love to you, to your family and all those who care. Know that we are storming the heavens for you. I will continue to pray, and ask others for their prayers,
ReplyDeleteVicki
From the looks of things, your story of recovery will be one to remember. Sending love and light your way as you and your family heal and learn together.

ReplyDeleteNick and Jamie's Family. I called this morning and put Jamie's name on the Houston, Logan and SLC Temples Prayer rolls, i will continue to call a few different Temples everyday. She is in our prayers and we know that she will pull through, she is a fighter.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Jon, Liz and McKinley Marshall
Jamie, You don't know me but that makes no difference as the Lord knows both of us & knows our needs even before we asked. I am praying for you as I have just witnessed a miracle healing with Kaye Mellencamp & that is where I saw the posting for prayer for you. I know I serve a "miracle working Savior" & I am expecting to hear good news with our prayers for you, too.
ReplyDeleteI don't know you, but I'm praying for your quick recovery. From the brief description above, it sounds like you got the care you needed quickly and that can make all the difference. You'll do great!
ReplyDeleteReading all of the comments above made me cry. It just shows how many loving people there are out in the world. We love you, Jamie!!! I know and believe that you will make it through this challenge.

ReplyDeletePraying for you Jamie... Although I've only recently met you, your positivity and genuine zest for life is inspirational to us all. My heart and prayers go out to the family also. Jamie is blessed with many family and friends who are pulling for her.
ReplyDeletePrayers and positive thoughts for Jamie and her family for a speedy and full recovery. Big love and bear hugs to you all.
ReplyDeleteI don't know Jamie, but am sorry to hear about her accident. I am a pharmacy doctorate student, and am currently working on an inpatient Neuro-Trauma Rehab unit. Ask Jamies neurologist about possibly using a medication in the next month or so called amantadine to help speed her recovery. Our neurologists use it quite often, and recent research has shown the results to be very promising! Good luck, I will keep Jamie in my thoughts :-)
ReplyDeletePrayers for you Jamie and also for your family and medical team. I believe that all things are possible the God and will continue to pray. Miracles happen every single day...<3<3<3
ReplyDeleteI follow Brave Girls Club. I'm so sorry to hear of Jamie's accident. She's a woman of true beauty both on the inside and outside. I pray for a speedy recovery for Jamie.

ReplyDeleteSending positive thoughts her and her family's way!! I don't know her, but I am a contestant in the Mrs. WA America pageant and Lisa Bluhm (Mrs. WA 2011) notified us. Looking forward to good news!!
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking for her family tonight as I personally know how exhausting this is going to be on her family. I lost my sister in law a month ago to a very aggressive brain tumor that not even she knew that she had and was going to have the same kind of brain surgery Jaime had but she would not of survived the surgery and she too was put in a medicated coma to help heal her brain as she had no brain activity. The fact that she has moved is a very good sign and yes, there is so much hope that she will come out of this. I will pray for Jaime and her family as they prepare for what I know will be one of the most difficult like challenges they as a family will go through!
