Grand daughter needs prayers

[CanuckTravlr]

We know Seven still has a struggle ahead of her. But it sounds like she is in good hands and the doctors can perform miracles today. Our tears, thoughts and prayers continue for you and Seven and all of your family, Bill. Hang in there and stay positive. That is what she and her parents need most right now. God bless you all.

Your heavenly father is there with you and he will see you and your family thru this. He will never leave you nor forsake you.
Let him hold you in his arms and give you the peace that passes all understanding. Let his love fill your heart.

Dear Bill:

I am wishing you the best and also to Seven-Milani. Hope she bounces back strong as she is annoyed by the fuss. My thoughts and prayers for your son and your family. Hugs.

Seven is stable. Really, thanks for the prayers. My son and daughter in law are staying in her room. During Milani's operation they discovered an artery was in the wrong place and this was corrected while they were working on her. I had thought there was one hole but I was told there were two that were patched. I was told these were patched with some new type of gortex ??? So the operation was good but lasted almost eight hours. The complication was Milani's heart rate dropped and the scare was no oxygen to her organs.

They were able to resuscitate her and everything seems like it will be ok. A mri is scheduled for tomorrow. They do not want her awake because of the stitches and tubes. A drain tube was removed today along with the wires attached to her head.

Yup, I first heard of Seven from George Castaza on an episode of Seinfeld. I have nic names for all seven grandkids . Milani is my seventh grandkid so I took George's idea. I would call Milani, Lani, but I already have Leilani, who I already call Lani.

Thanks again !!!

Bill

Thank you for putting the good news up front. The details floored me doing the obvious of putting myself in your shoes. All I will say is that someday you will be playing ball, biking, or walking with your grand daughter and will be reduced to tears of happiness.

Yesterday we went to the hospital, which is about 2.5 hours away, and brought a care package to the kids and said hi to Seven. She is improving and did open her eyes and gave us a smile. The doctors and every one involved in her care are really fantastic. Seven was born at University of Washington Hospital about six weeks early weighing in under three pounds. She was had neonatal care for about 8 weeks. My daughter in law lived in the hospital room with Seven the entire time and my son was there 3 nights a week.

This new medical chapter in Seven's life was kind of spooky and very emotional mostly because of how invasive the procedure was. She had an ekg and sonogram showing a few problems that should resolve on their own. These problems actually mean spending more time in the hospital. The first night after her heart surgery they had to do cpr. It took a normal amount of time to do this cpr but to the kids who were in the room while this was going on it seemed like forever.

This is a picture of Seven the day after the surgery. This is when we asked others to pray for her. Seven was on many peoples prayer lists since she was born and now she is on many more. So Thanks !! We can tell she is getting better.

Bill thanks for updating us. She is a beautiful little baby doll! We keep praying for a complete creative miracle for her.
May the Lord give you and your family his perfect peace. Stand on His Word and his Promises he is right there with you.

Thanks for the update, Bill. They look so small and vulnerable when all attached to tubes and wires, but I'm sure she is a tough little fighter and has a great team supporting her. We will keep her in our thoughts. And her parents too.

Seven had a rough start in her new life, but I'm so happy to hear that she is improving. Kids are mighty resilient, so we look forward to hearing when she's running around Grandpa's house creating havoc

We saw Seven on Tuesday and most of the tubes and wires are out of her. She is slowly being taken off of the steroids and pain meds. She is awake and can be held. Her progress is good. She is still with the NICU group but it looks like she will be moved to the PCU in the next 5 or 6 days.

All in all, Seven seems to be recovering. Thanks for the prayers.

She looks wonderful. Continued prayers for the steady progress that will get her home soon,

 

[b2bailey]

Yes! That photo is worth a thousand words. Answers my question of 'how is she doing'?

 

[cyntravel]

Oh WOW she looks so good! Thank you Lord for blessing this sweet little girl and her family.
The Lord's love is amazing!
She is such a cutie! I know you are a proud and happy Grandfather!

Seven is out of the NCIU and is now in the PCU. I heard she might be coming home next week. She has been doing very good. What a relief it is to see her progress. My son and daughter in law bought the property next to ours and the plan was a lot of remodeling. They are currently living with us. It will be nice to hear Seven making noise again.

Thanks for the prayers. I believe they help.
