Granddaughter in Intensive Care

We got a call from our daughter just before coming to bed to say our six year old granddaughter is in hospital, for the second time in three months. We were able to see and speak to our granddaughter and she was on oxygen and antibiotics then, but she was finding breathing difficult. I’ve now just had a text to say she’s been moved to Intensive Care (she’s in NZ).

She had double pneumonia and a collapsed lung last time and although she became really very poorly she didn’t deteriorate anything like as quickly as she has done today. She has a compromised immune system having been born extremely prematurely and I’m concerned that the struggle to breathe may affect her heart.

So please, if you’re a pray-er would you pray for her? ?? She needs all the help she can get.

Sending you the biggest hug grannyactivist . Hope she makes a full recovery. It's so hard being such a distance from family , especially at times like this.

Thank you all for your prayers and good wishes, it means such a lot to me. When she was born at just shy of 27 weeks our granddaughter spent three months fighting infection after infection and being able to come on here and share our ups and downs as she struggled for life was a lifeline for me. So many Gransnetters came on the journey with me that it felt like a triumph for us all when she finally went home.

Tests have now identified the two viruses that are causing the pneumonia, and they’re pretty much what was expected due to her past cardio respiratory problems, but it’s not known if there’s an additional bacterial infection. My daughter’s battery is almost flat and it’s night time there now, so I’m not expecting further news until this evening, but I would value your continued prayers.
