***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.

I'm so glad to hear your SIL is safe. Not many people can say they survived a terrorist hostage situation in Mumbai

Thanks ladies! Hopefully she is on a plane as I type this on her way home. It will be a nail biting 12 - 14 hours until she is home but we have faith she'll make here it fine.

She apparently is all over the news in Virginia and on BBC News.

Andrea -- so glad to hear she is the US. My mom, sister and DH all heard from me about her and were also relieved to hear she was ok! I think my mom even asked ME about it (I was telling her the story on Thanksgiving and over the weekend she asked for an update)! Dh too.

And that picture -- wow.

Glad you guys can celebrate her return home!!!!!

thanks Tina! Interesting but when we spoke to her while she was still in India we were happy but still nervous....when he heard her voice last night knowing she was home....we both had tears in our eyes.
She's definitely going to go through Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome of some sort. She said while she was there she didn't even realize how much danger she was in..she couldn't allow herself to realize it or she wouldn't have survived.

Isn't that picture crazy! One of Richie's friends called him and said 'um I think your sisters picture is in the NY Times on line' it was.
CRAZY!!!
Jenn, it was GREAT meeting you the other night (and Bonnie as well). We'll definitely have to do it more often.
