A North Carolina teenager has died after contracting a rare brain-eating amoeba called Naegleria fowleri that's found in warm freshwater, state health officials said.

Naegleria fowleri can be found in warm freshwater including ponds, lakes and rivers, and it grows best in hotter water.

"The amoeba does not cause illness if swallowed but can be fatal if water with the amoeba in it is forced up the nose into the brain, which can occur by jumping into water, diving, water-skiing or other water activities," the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services said.

August 29 - the day Kyle ran into the arms of Jesus… no more pain! No more tears!
But also the day that began the life long pain for all who love him and miss him, with every breath!

I share this now because we have spread the awareness for 16 years, although that looks different for us now. We have relived Kyle’s pain with every family who has gone through and is living this same journey. Our hearts continue to break each and every time.

I share this now because God and Kyle and my angels are giving me the strength to do so. They are giving me the perseverance to put one foot in front of the other today…and to as our sweet boy would want.

I share this now because other families are just beginning this journey and need our prayers and love.

I share this now because we can only give you the information and the awareness… it’s up to you to decide what you want to do with it.

I share this now in hopes that you share it with others. Spread the Amoeba Awareness.

I share this now because I hope Kyle makes you and you continue to remember our sweet boy and honor him in the many wonderful ways so many of you have over the years 💙

I share this now asking for prayers for Kyle’s father, sister, grandparents, cousins, friends and all who love him and have a big hole in their hearts, forever. 💙

I share this now asking you to say his name out loud and tell that boy how much his momma misses him and loves him! 💙

God bless 💙

💔

Last night Lillian ran from our arms to the arms of Jesus.

The injuries to her brain were too severe for her little body to recover from. Everyone did everything they could to keep her here. We are heartbroken and honestly do not know what to do next. How do we put one foot in front of the other without our girl?

Our foundation is still in Jesus. We didn’t get to keep our girl but we watched miracles happen on her behalf. We believe God is good. He will give us strength when we have none left. He’s given us a community of support that I don’t think can be found anywhere else in the world. Lil would have loved seeing everyone come together and she would have been right in the middle of it trying to help where she could.

We are devastated. We know you are too. Pray for our boys. They are going to need it so much. Pray for our friends and family, they are so sad and somehow still showing up for us. Pray for us, we won’t be able to do this without it.

We are so grateful to you for loving our girl.

We continue to pray big!

The doctors spoke to us yesterday about the extent of the swelling Lillian has as a result of the parasite. It is significant.

Today we are choosing to praise God for her and celebrate her birthday.

Every minute is a different emotion for us. Every day holds new challenges and mercies. We have huge decisions weighing on us right now, bigger decisions than most will make in a lifetime, and need so much grace as we navigate those.

Please know we still need prayer and the Lord is still a gracious and loving Father. We are clinging to our faith right now because without it we wouldn’t be able to hold ourselves together for our girl and her precious brothers.

Say her name. Lift her to the Lord. He is a God of miracles and he’s already shown us that.

Much love
Daniel and Rebecca

We would like to thank everyone for the incredible outpouring of love, support, and prayers over the last few days. We have felt each one and are so grateful for the people surrounding our family during this time.

As we continue walking this journey with Lillian, we ask that you please continue to cover her and our family in prayer. In the days ahead, there will be important decisions to make regarding her care, and we are praying for wisdom, clarity, peace, and guidance every step of the way.

We have already seen God work miracles on Lillian’s behalf, and we know He is still at work and will continue to be. We remain full of hope, taking each day as it comes and trusting Him with every step ahead.

Thank you for continuing to pray with us and for us. Your love and prayers mean more than we could ever express.
