Akiva is having heart surgery today at 2

Her heart failed a couple times last night and the doctors decided that they needed to go in and repair the heart now. Please know I appreciate any prayers you have for her and her parents because right now they too are on the every edge.

I will not know anymore til tonight so when I hear I will post under this post any more news!

Nikki has been dischagred from the hospital today so they are staying at one of the places on the hospital grounds for a few days as the doctors need to monitor Nikki and they can not be far awaay from baby!

My goodness I tell you I have never prayed so hard in my whole life.. all night long I either dream about Akiva or am awake and saying my prayers for her.

Anyhow off here now so the phone line ois not held up... then to work as ALan said to not come unless they called for me. I think this being here is harder than being over there with the kids.

Hugs, Lor

(((Lor))) You and your family are still in my thoughts and prayers. This is a very trying time for you, I know. I am glad that Nikki has been released, and I can imagine how they must be feeling.

There are so many prayers coming from this board alone, how can it not be ok.

Lots of love, comforting hugs and lots of prayers for you and the family.

Lor, you know that your dear, dear family is in my prayers. My niece is the one who had her baby at 5 mos and little Coleton is almost up to 5 lbs from being the 1.4lbs he weighed at his birth. He had 2 surgeries the first week of his little life and will have to go thru more later. This little boy is surely a fighter and I do beleave that your Akiva is one too. We just know she will be fine. They have so many ways to keep a baby alive and all kinds of help in teaching them what to do when. Sending special angels her way. Give Nikki big hugs for all of us here. BIG HUGS. ..Free
