Granddaughter in Intensive Care

We will for sure grannyactivist.
God bless you all,especially your darling gd.
Sending loves and hugs to you all.

It is good to hear that things are moving in the right direction, albeit slowly.

Oh bless you xx I am glad there is improvement.

How old is she? x

God bless the little one, you are are all doing so well, stay strong, loving thoughts to you all.

Good news grannyactivist. It sounds as though things are improving. Still praying for you all

Glad she’s improving.

GA

Great news!

I think that if she is a candidate to be moved, it is a good sign.

UPDATE

Better news today is that the new treatment seems to be having an effect. ? ??

The pattern seems to be that it’s at nighttime that our granddaughter gets into real difficulties, but last night, although she did become hypoxic (not enough oxygen), it was not as bad as on other occasions.

The ICU is so busy they’ve had to put extra beds in and so our daughter says that if our granddaughter improves she’ll be moved back to a side ward again. On the one hand it’s really traumatic for her in the ICU, so I’d love for her to be well enough to be moved, but I really want her to stay there if she’s likely to need the extra facilities. Aaargh!

I can’t quite get my head around the fact that it’s possible for our granddaughter to be able to leave the ICU when she literally can’t breathe for herself, not even for a minute. I don’t want to ask my daughter too many questions as she’s ‘mummy’ and not an ICU nurse in this situation, but it’s a constant concern.

Waiting for today's update and praying for you all.

Including your little granddaughter in my prayers also....keep strong ??

Love and prayers for you ga and your granddaughter. Positive vibes

How heartbreaking for you all ga, I'm sending love, hope and best wishes that your darling little gd is winning her fight.

Continuing to send love and prayers for healing for your precious wee granddaughter, Grannyactivist, ???.
Also for you and all the family at this very worrying time.

Keeping you in my thoughts

With you and all your family, today as ever.
Distance from loved ones in times of worry and support is so cruel, I know?

Yes grandmafrench has said it for me too. Praying for your little one. Hope the birthday boy has a good day.
Hope your DGD improves soon.

I will be keeping your granddaughter & family in my thoughts. It must be very distressing for you and your husband. Please take care.

Everything GrandmaFrench said.
Thinking of you

Oh Ga this is so hard for all of you. Thoughts and prayers are with your little one and all of you. Sending love and prayers xx

This is so hard for you all, grannyactivist.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your little granddaughter.

Oh no. It’s a real rollercoaster for you all. Have as good a day as possible today, it’ll be good being in company. Much love to you all.

Sending a (((hug))) to you and your family ga

Good post Grandmafrench. You've put it well. Thinking of you and your family GA.

Don’t give up on positivity, ga and remember what GranPower can do. Every single one of us empathising, sympathising, wishing so hard for her.

Maybe her move was a little too soon? Just as long as they’re on the case and her care remains at a high level, any small improvement - or blip- will be monitored until she stabilises. Just believe it’s going to be ok. ???

UPDATE:
News in the middle of the night was that granddaughter had been taken off IV antibiotics and was receiving them orally, was beginning to drink again and although still on oxygen and unable to breathe for more than a minute by herself, was deemed well enough to be moved off ICU and into a side ward.

I just had a distraught text to say that she’s had another deterioration and there is a review underway to discuss taking her back to PICU. I feel so sad for my little NZ family and so, worried for them.

One of our little grandchildren is having a 4th birthday party today and so at least we’ll be together as a family as we wait for news.. We’ll make sure the birthday child enjoys his day, but our thoughts are going to be on the other side of the world, as they have been since our granddaughter was admitted.
