***UPDATE 11/30 630pm****

My SIL Amy is in the USA Finally. Her plane landed, she's on her way home! Wooo Hooo finally we can breathe a sigh of complete relief.

What a rough couple of days!

Thank you to EVERYONE who said a prayer, Fm'd me, asked about her, worried about us, etc.

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU....

Wooo Hooo she's home.

*************************************************

My SIL is in India right now and her hotel was attacked. We heard from her a short while ago BUT she is locked in a room in her hotel.

Please pray she is okay and gets out of there okay.

******UPDATE 11/28 830AM********
AMY IS OUT OF THE HOTEL....WOOO HOOOO
She is in another hotel under heavy security being debriefed. We won't think she'll able to come home until her original time on Sunday but
SHE'S OUT!!!!!







******Update 11/27 11:30pm*****Just got home.

Again, ladies...I can't tell you how grateful we are for your thoughts and prayers. It's been a long two days. At about 9pm tonight DH got a call from his niece who said she had just heard from her Mom. She was alive BUT still locked in the hotel room and they do have a little food but no water. The good news is the Embassy did get in touch with the woman Amy is traveling with and told them to sit tight and they would hopefully get to them.

While Amy is obviously still in danger as there is still a terrorist (if not more than one) in her hotel, we felt a little better that she was still alive after the mention of all the fires.

Keep up your prayers please. We are mentally and physically exhausted.



******Update 11/27 930am****
Firstly thank you all for all of your prayers. My internet was out since 10pm last night.

DH's sister Amy, was able to call her daughter at 3am our time from her roommates cell (she doesn't have a cell) and said that they were still locked in their room but there were people banging on their doors etc. She said that some in her traveling group were killed but that's all her daughter got from her.

I can't tell you how heartbreaking it is to sit here and basicaly get no new news. According to CNN their is now a fire in the Oberoi.

This just s*cks. I'm trying not to be all negative but this is some first married thanksgiving.
Keep praying please.

Re: I really need your prayers....Small UPDATE

Andrea, I have been thinking of you, DH and Amy all night. I hope that you can remember the things you are thankful for on this Thanksgiving day -- including the fact that Amy is safe for now. It's not a lot because you don't know what can happen - I know that must be very, very hard - but it's somethng to be thankful for.

Re: I really need your prayers....Small UPDATE

Thank you all so much!

I really had hoped it would be over by last night it doesn't seem to be ending yet.

I have another work friend who was their visiting family and is supposed to be coming home tonight but the airports are closed.

I have to tell you watching the hotel on fire, knowing that someone you love is on the 16th floor is just torturous.

I am very grateful we heard something from her but everytime we get a little comfort, something else happens.
