Mornin mornin!

Bree is doin well today...no weight gain yesterday, but due to the bath and being moved around a lot it was expected. As long as she doesn't lose weight they are a-okay. :) No news is good news, pretty much! Nothing else to report on her. Adam went in to see her on his way back from dropping Mama off at the hospital and he happened to see our friend Kate there...her daughter, Annika is in the PICU at Phoenix Childrens. Can everyone please pray for Annika and her family? Here's an update that Nick (Annika's Dad) posted on myspace a few days ago:


soo Annika was admitted to the hospital last night. we noticed that she had a bruise on her back that ran along her spine. She also developed a bruise on her feet from having shoes on. She has also started to regress developmentally. She wont walk or try to that much any more... she wont play with her toys anymore... she is tired all the time ... and she wont talk anymore. the doctors at urgent care said that she needs to go to phoenix childrens hospital immediately. so that is where she has been since saturday night. they are currently running tests for everything they can think of. also she has lost five pounds..down to 19 pounds and you can see it from the extra skin on her arms :(. the doctors do not no what it is... at least that is what they are telling us. the earlest she will be home is tuesday. it takes 48 hours for most of the results to get back :-/. there testing for everything... rsv...valley fever...infections...cystic fibrosis...cylacs desease... etc.keep our daughter in your prayers :(

Lord,

We thank you for today and we look forward to what tomorrow has to bring. We lift up Annika to you. You know that she is hurting, and we ask that you heal her of the bruises, energize her and restore her to the loving, snuggly Annika that we know is within her. She is just so tired, and does not feel well at all. We know that you are a good God, and one of miracles and healing. Bree is a testament to your goodness! We ask that you lay your healing hands over Annika. Surround her in your love and your goodness.

We also ask that you be with her parents (and little brother) during this hard time. It is a stressful and mentally draining situation to be in. Please give them the clarity and peace of mind to be at their best for their kids. We love you and we thank you for all that you do...

In Jesus' name we pray...

Amen
