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.

Your Granddaughter is obviously a real fighter GA to have come through her past health problems. Wishing all of you the very best of wishes that she wins this fight, too.

Whilst at my local hospital this morning, I offered prayers in the chapel.

Please know that I am thinking of you all.
Distance and time zones make distress and worry even harder to bear, I know?

Is she in Starship ? or somewhere else in NZ ? Sending prayers and I have messaged a friend to ask her NZ prayer circle to include your DGD and family in their daily session. flowers

Praying for a speedy recovery for your precious child, and including you and all your family and the medics caring for her. ?✝️

What I find hardest is that my daughter has no-one out there to support her. When my grandsons have been in hospital in the UK the whole family has rallied round in different ways and I know that with the current COVID rules it would be different even if she was over here, but at least we’d be on the same timeline.

It’s very hard being so far away when all you want to do is hold those you love very close. Praying your little gd will stabilise soon and that there will be some NZ “angels” who can support your daughter too.
