My 11 year old daughter was admitted to the hospital yesterday with severe pneumonia.
It started as a cold, then flu, now she has lost over 10% of her body weight in 4 days.
The doc says we should know more today, whether she gets better or worse. If it turns for the better she could be home in a few days.
They're asking me questions about mold and all kinds of things, I don't think they really know much right now but are just hoping all the medicine they are pumping into her will work.
Anyone so inclinded to throw a prayer her way will be thanked any way I can.
Thanks.

Consider it done, I had it twice when I was very young, and once last year. It's no fun. Have faith, she will get better.

youve got it... hope she gets better

Sorry to hear of the news... Best wishes from the Herrs in PA

Keep us posted and hang in there. I'll have the family say a prayer tonight for her.

I will hold it in my heart.

Chap

consider it done!!

Done, and she will be included in tonights family prayers as well.

I hope she has a speedy recovery, having a child in the hospital is very hard, It's even harder when you get so many questions from everyone, and all that you can focus on is your child.

You got it. There is nothing more heart breaking than a child sick and in the hospital. I wish her a speedy recovery.

-Jeff

There are a lot of nasty things going around. We hope that she and all of our loved ones regain their health. Christmas is no time to be ill.

Sam,
Best wishes to your daughter for a quick recovery and to you for patience in this difficult time. Pneumonia is a tough one.

Carl

Damn Sam,

Done indeed.

We went through the same dance with our 2 yr old Sunday. Thankfully the doc agreed to try one more thing before admitting her and it worked. Looking into mold and that sort of stuff was suggested to us too. Dealing with a very sick child and trying to think about whether there might air quality issues in the house is pretty overwhelming.

Good luck, and our prayers are with your family.

Ouch....me and all my girls are online with God right now....good luck. Give her a hug for me.

Our prayers are with you.

We will pray. post when you have more information.

Yup I'm there for you all.
Having a Preemie baby in my case makes you very sensative to sick children. Would one of these help?

Done. Many prayers for Sammy's daughter.

Sammy, my thoughts go out to you and your family, especially your little girl. Keep us posted on how she's doing when you have time. And buy her some cool magazines to read.

Jen

we are including you in our thoughts this season...

Sammy,

Here's mine right now . . .

Eternal and Glorious God - source of all life & breath! We look to you through the sacrifice of your Son our Lord & Savior - Jesus Christ - who died so that we can have access to you - and request your intervention - you blessing - your supernatural favor - on Sammy's daughter in her time of need. Restore her health and enable the doctors to identify the root of the problem for her benefit and the benefit of others. Comfort the family, and show them the fruit of their faith and confidence in you as our God. Amen.

Just took everything else off my Christmas list. Best wishes from our family to yours.

I am so sorry to hear about your baby girl. I am a single father of an 8 yr old girl myself, I know your pain. She will get better, my prayers are with you and yours.

Sam, she'll be in our thoughts, please keep us informed on how's she's doing.

Best wishes, thoughts and prayers.

Comin at ya Sammy.

Let us know how she's doing.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Stay strong.

She will be in my prayers.
Please wish her the best.

What they all ^^^ said! I hope she comes home soon, healthy and happy to not be eating hospital food!!

Great news!
The fever has started to break and she is coherent enough to realize where she is and recognize her mother and I.
It looks like she will turn the corner, even the doctor is acting like the worst is over. She is still very sick but it looks like she will get better instead of worse.
You guys are the greatest.
Thank you very much to those of you who are old friends and those of you who are new friends.
You wishes and prayers have helped her and my wife and I more than you can imagine.

Our prayers are with you.

sorry to hear that this happened, sounds like some good news however and nothing sounds better than news of recovery....our wishes are with ya till the end and she comes home safe and sound....

Our prayers our with her.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Eddie

Worst feeling in the world is handing your child over to someone else and hoping they can make them better.

Glad there is some good news.

Happy thoughts from my family to yours....

Glad to see that she has turned for the best...

Great to hear that she is getting better!!!!

in no time!
I have worked in hospitals for 20 years, and had some personal
family kid illnesses......she's gonna be fine!
Especially with all the "914" prayers....

God bless you and your family from mine.
