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.

UPDATE:
I’m sorry I didn’t post yesterday, but very soon after my last update things took a turn for the worse and we spent the day on a knife-edge as our granddaughter needed a huge amount of help with her breathing (for the medics, she was profoundly blue after desaturating and was hypoxic). The details of the episode were alarming and our daughter told us that things were looking ‘pretty bad’.

Amazingly, after many hours and many litres of oxygen, our little fighter eventually got her colour back, perked up, and even watched a film for a while. Today (night time in NZ) she’s had a similar episode where she desaturated, but not as worrying as yesterday’s. So, although she’s still on quite a lot of oxygen it seems we’ve moved two steps forward and one step back.

Thank you everyone for your prayers and good wishes, which are very much appreciated.
