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.

So happy to hear your sweet GD is doing better and that your own operation went well. Continued prayers and best wishes for full recoveries for you both.

I'm so glad that things are moving in the right direction, and I hope she will have a complete and speedy recovery. You must have been so worried. It's hard when any family member is ill but worse when it's a child.
