Ok so here we are planning this great getaway for Niagara Falls. We were scheduled to leave this Friday morning and stay at the Embassy Suites...Romance Package and all.....well...that trip is not going to happen and now out engagement is on indefinite hold. Not because of the ring or the timing or cold feet but because of a sick niece.
This little girl is 8 years old. She is FFI niece. She is at our house every weekend. Last weekend, she had a fever and then it got progressively got worse. In a matter of 2 days she went from having walking pneumonia to being on life support at Childrens hospital.
I cannot just understand how a little girl can go down hill so fast. Her kidneys have failed. Her lungs have failed and she is on heart bypass. All three she needs to be in bypass for in order to survive.
They have diagnosed her with MRSA, Sepsis and Pneumonia. She is a fiesty little girl who loves to make people smile. She is always running around saying things like" Rock on and boys stink"
I just don''t know how this could all happen. So FFI and I were up there for 3 days and they transferred her from Georgetown to Childrens and she coded twice. They now know that there is a little damage done to the heart because of it but they do not know how much just yet. They have started her on dialysis as well because she is not pushing any fluid. She is so swollen and i cannot believe that this has happened to her.
So although the engagement will be postponed I almost feel like this was a reality check for everyone to know just how precious life really is and not to take it for granted. I will say that our relationship has been through some tough times and I cannot believe that she is lying there on life support struggling to live.
The Dr''s are optimistic that she will make a recovery, but the road will be long and hard. They will have to keep her sedated and on life support for at least another week to make sure her body can take the much needed rest that she needs. Then she will have to re-learn to walk and possibly have some speech therapy to help her back to where she was. She will have to start the third grade over again.
Please pray for Katie...she is a great girl...and she is the one we wanted to tell the most about our engagement. She is always giving FFI a hard time because she cannot be in our wedding. She calls me her "half way there aunt". Plus she always makes kissing noises when she is over...its really cute. I cannot wait to hear her voice again...
Thanks for letting me get my feelings out....its been a really long week or so....plus there is more to come.
Thanks Ladies...I know the prayers and the dust here really does work!!!
Love you all my PS ladies! (and Gents...Strm and DF...I cannot be gender specific)
