looking a little better last night. She said that her C02 had dropped a little too low after being way high so they had to do some adjustments. They took the iv in the head out as they can not leave them in long for fear of more infection. They said they think she became septic from the pic line she had (Iv that goes to her heart artery). Her dh and his step mom came to Van to see Akiva today, and so they will be giving me a call to say how she is doing today after they have had some time to see Akiva.

I will post any news under this posting later on when I hear from the kids.

Lets hope that the news is good this time.. the doctors would not give Nikki a percentage of chances of survival but we know it was not that good earlier on yesterday, but had improved by night time. This just goes to show she is one heck of a fighter.

well til I hear back I beter get off of here, maybe go and scrub walls or something that will keep my mind busy.

Hugs all! Lor

Lor I sending out prayers, hope, positive thoughts, and anything (m)

else I can think of for your fighting little one, Akiva. Just cannot imagine what you are going through but I sure feel for Nikki, you, and the whole family. One thing the little ones have is a spirit and strength that we as mere mortals cannot comprehend. I only know it is true. I hope that she is on the upswing again to show everybody that she will hang in there and make it! We have to believe that to be a truth. She will be getting the best thoughts from Ohio and all of the other states here. Hang tough our little Canuck!

Hugs, Ruthie

Bernie and Mac, I thank you both for your prayers and concerns. Now we are just waitign or these improvements to keep happening and then I will be able to breath again.

Yep sure is scary stuff, especailly that I live so far away from them, makes me want to jump the first ferry over there, but that would not do Akiva much good.

I am just glad that Nikki's dh made it back there today, she was so afraid and alone feeling, and I realize he did have things he had to do, but we all feel he is finding this all a bit too much to take all the time, so he has to have some away time. Nikki says yes understandable but she can not take it all alone either. Oh well I think now the doctors talked to him he may realize this is something that takes both of them together to deal with.

Hugs to you both and than you so much for your prayers!

hugs, Lor

Ah and even from my friend Ruthie a note, now that is sweet! You know when this little one grows up, and she WILL GROW UP, I am going to show her all these posts that have been here to show her just how much she is cared for.

Hugs and thank you so much for this all!

Hugs Lor
