CRAZY day

Oh my goodness friends... what a CRAZY day! Our story posted in Deseret News yesterday, then printed today. Then surprisingly a UK website, Dailymail.UK this morning, and the storm began :) We were contacted all day by media galore! This has been a fun, scary, giddy, overwhelming, exciting, and yes CRAZY day. Nick kept on texting me "Is this really happening?!" Very fun times for us to share together. Needless-to-say we are lining up our line of media to work with. I will keep you guys updated on WHO and WHEN. As for now we are working with "The Today Show", "Inside Edition", and "The Jeff Probst Show". There is a magazine that is like "People" in the UK called "Closer" they are showing interest, as well as the "British Press"  WHEWWWW... I feel so blessed. I know the Lord has directed so many things in my life, and I feel this is another one. This is such a great opportunity, and I know he will help me to do it. Like most things since my accident... this is SCARY, but I am fully capable to share my life and experiences. Thank you so much for your love and support.... I FEEL IT!!!!!

    Jamie ... Let there be no doubt in your mind, in anyone's mind that miracles do happen. I'm very familiar with yours, because my better half had a very similar procedure done during a series of neurosurgeries, the first of which was to staunch a ruptured aneurysm and subsequently deal with swelling. She went from 15 minutes to dead to full recovery with no impairments. A miracle.

    I was there, bedside every day, twice a day plus, as well as her closest friend, throughout. I admit I was terrified, we were both terrified, no one is more important to us...I've been in combat, and at least in combat you can shoot back, yet at the bedside I couldn't stand and deliver, I could only stand and hope and pray.

    There is one fact that is indisputable...Judy, injured and prostrate, in fentanyl defying pain, was the source of strength for us, the helpless; it was her perpetual smile and cheer, even through myriad devices and tubes, her determination, guts, courage,all of it, lifted up those of us in fear as no one else could have done. I see that in the photo of you before the plate was re-attached....seen on another site....that indomitable smile. That image rang a bell for me.

    Best wishes to you and your family for a spectacular future. I know they've already been given what they wanted most. You.

    I saw a story about you on io9.com
    http://io9.com/5947478/you-wont-believe-whats-hiding-inside-this-former-beauty-queens-stomach

    I dunno where to start.
    The surgery is awesome. I mean holy crap can you believe we're surgically removing a piece of someone's skull, storing it in their belly while their brain heals up and finally reattaching it with nothing more than a scar?!

    Jamie, you're beautiful. You're also an amazing to go through this and smile on camera like it ain't no thing.

    That scar is wicked cool looking. Stay bald, show it off. Start a career as an actress so that next time someone has a role for "Badass woman." they have zero choice but to cast you.

      How dare you deny God's act of love! Science didn't save her. Jesus did, in spite of atheist doctor's almost fatal work.

      Thats a horrible thing to say. You should be ashamed of yourself. You don't even know her.
