Hi all,

I just got word that my niece has been airlifted to children's hospital in minneapolis after a rupture from a recent surgery to fix her bladder.
My niece is the daughter of my brother that took his life in dec. of last year. She is 7 years old and was born with spina bifida in China and my brother and sister-in-law adopted her 6 years ago.
Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers and also the family.
Thanks all and will try and keep updated as I know more.
Hugs,
Jen

Was able to see my niece when got to the hospital. She couldn't sit up at first however, when we left for the night she was sitting up and having chicken nuggets from McDonalds....
She has a very serious infection that could take up to a week to get better and then has to have a surgery to fix the button that ruptured.
She told us all about the hellicopter ride and was in much better spirits toward the end of the evening. When kissed her on the forehead before leaving could feel how hot she was with the fever from the infection.
This girl is a fighter, she has been through some pretty rough things as far as her health is concered.
Am not sure when going to see her again, prob. give her a day to rest on Tuesday and then go spend the day on Wed. with her to give her mom a break to do what she needs to do.
Thanks for the prayers.
hugs,
Jen

My niece will be undergoing surgery tomorrow. The infection has pretty much cleared up and feeling much better. I haven't seen her since last week, will prob. be going to see her Thursday after she is awake and more alert.
Thanks for all thoughts and prayers.
hugs,

Surgery went ok, they ran into some things when they went in....had to remove some intestines and redo a lot of work. She needs to recouperate (sp?) and then will have to undergo another surgery. They are hoping that she will be home by the first day of school in a month.

I feel so bad for her, she so tiny and young and has endured so much in her short time here on earth. Would give anything to change places with her so she wouldn't have to go through the pain and things.

Thanks again,
jen

Bless her little heart! This little girl certainly IS a fighter!!! You can plan on prayers from me. God has a plan for her -- If He didn't, He would have taken her a long time ago!!! She is going to amount to something SPECIAL -- I'm sure of it! We'll be hearing from her in a few years!

God bless and prayers are going out for her and her family! Hugs, Lee

prayers going out over here.
