Sorry to ask again but...I need prayer's!

[RoadRaven]

Having little ones sick is the absolute worst!

We hated it when our pre-verbal children were sick (3-4yrs and younger)... not so much because they were sick, but because they couldn't tell us about it - how they felt or how to fix it... that was really awful...

Keeping you all in our thoughts...

[Brandi]

I'm sending prayers, too. Hopefully they'll get things figured out fast and easy, but if it looks like she'll need to be in for awhile, let me know if we can do anything to help make it a little less negative for her- I could send a gift, books, etc. I would be happy to help if I can! The hospital can be a very scary place at any age.

Oh mmy gosh that is so sweet of you to Offer to do something. If that happens (I am hoping not) Maybe fun caet well cards would be so cool. I will let you all know.

[Brandi]

Oh, they still know nothing. But they are feeling this is not as serious as they might have thought. Every single test comes back negative for anything. The last thing they are going to do is have a ENT look at her and possibly go into the sinuses and see if they are the cause. That would have been the first thing i would have done since allergies run in our family. I won't be happy if they went through all this just to find out It was her sinuses. But keep those good vibes coming I think maybe we are winning with posative thoughts!

Coming in here late Brandi- but sending my warm AZ vibes nonetheless!
Hope it's an allergy thing that they can get under control.
Poor little pumpkin!!
And as a parent, I could only imagine what mom and dad are going through!
When Spencer was a baby he seemed to be constantly sick. Everytime he caught a cold it went into pnuemonia and ear infections. It was horrible. FINALLY when he was around two they decided he had asthma, put him on a regimine, and he was fine. But those first two years being in and out of the hospital with a baby who didn't understand what was going on was HORRIBLE!
So please send mom and dad my love.

I will send your best wishes onto them. It has been very hard on them. Thank you for relating to them. I have no kids so I can only imagine.

Brandi - I just saw this thread - leave it to me to be the cow's tail. Please know I am thinking about that precious little girl, your sister and the rest of your family! I am sending the best get well wishes I can. Keep us posted.

[Brandi]

They have found a lump on her skull in the back and two spots on her right chest. These are from the CT scan. My sister is a wreck. I am feeling really weird. I am numb right now. I am trying to keep posative thoughts..but it is hard when I hear my sister's grief on the phone. I am trying I really am.
My brother said he is never going to think he's life sucks ever again. Considering what our family is going through right now.
I am hoping this mass is just a cyst that is causeing the swelling. I really hope!
They are at one of the best hospitols for children right now so I am hopeful when it comes to that.

Brandi, it seems that your perspective will have a stabilizing effect for your sister. Hang tight, keep us posted, and focus on the positives that you note.

I'm encouraged that your niece is not uncomfortable or unhappy.

It's interesting that all the really serious things noted are accompanied by pain and the less serious ones have benign symptoms.

[sundial]

I'm happy to hear that your niece seems to be doing better. I will keep her in my prayers as the doctor tries to determine the cause of her swelling.

[Brandi]

I am happy that Lorelie is not feeling any pain just frustrated in having to be in a strage place and I am sure she see;s the saddness in my sister. I keep trying to get my sister to be stronge. And to not give in.
Thanks again to all who have us in your hearts. It truly means a lot to us. When she is up to it I will share this post with my sister so she knows all the good vibes that were being sent to her and her family. Oh My sister is a young mother as well. SHe is 28. I am much older then her and can see why she is having a hard time keeping it together.

I have gone to a few sites and tried to find something. I some point I had to stop reading. It causes wild idea's sometimes. Thank you! You are great to keep commenting. For some reason you posting on this thread is giving me comfort. I know you two have kids. And can relate maybe. Hopefully you have never had to go through anything like this.
But wait that's right Mrs silver was in an accident not that long ago. But I don't know when it is your small child....

[silver]

brandi, hang in there. yes, we have two kids. this is soooo scary. I can't say that we have been through something just like this, but similar things. more often I've been in situations where I couldn't do anything except be the sounding board and the "gather-er" of information and the voice of calm.

I know that you are not there. Don't panic when looking at information. maybe you can gather a list of questions for your sister to ask the doctors.

if you need to scream or vent or anything, let us know.

[Brandi]

thank you......

my prayers are with you and your family, brandi. keep us posted.
