Amy has not seen their 84-year-old mother, Earlene Bransoni, in over 30 years. Prior to Ami's confession, Earlene wanted to reconnect with her daughter. She once took a trip to Alaska to see her daughter, but Ami was not even in the state when it happened.
The only way for Earlene to check on her daughter is through Discovery's reality-documentary series, "Alaskan Bush People." According to Les, their mother watches every single episode of the show.
The siblings have not spoken a word to each other ever since Ami married Billy Brown when she was but 15 years old. Les and their mother, Earlene, want to be in her life again, but it seems like Ami is content with the way things are.
Rumor has it Ami is receiving treatment at the UCLA Medical Center and will continue to do so in the succeeding months. The Browns have decided to leave the Alaskan wilderness so Ami could have easy access to hospitals.
More updates on Ami's condition should be revealed in the following episodes of "Alaskan Bush People."
