Sad Day

Kaiya woke up with a high fever around midnight last night. She had been immunized earlier in the day so after calling the dr. we were advised to continue to keep her on Tylenol and that it was probably a result of her shots. This morning she was pale, lifeless, and fairly unresponsive. We took her immediately to the pediatrician, who called an ambulance and took her directly to the pediatric intensive care unit.

She has been diagnosed with bacterial meningitis. We will be keeping updates on the care page provided by the hospital. The link is: http://www.carepages.com/carepages/Kaiya

There has not been a day since we first found out about Kaiya's existence that I haven't praised the Lord for her life. When I put her into bed last night, I walked out and said to Mark how thankful I was for her. She is a delight, a smile machine, and such a joy to us all. Thanks for praying with us that we will see her smile again soon...God has been so present with us today. We are trusting him for whatever happens, and praise Him for this sweet girl he has given us to take care of. Thank you for your prayers!

I love you and have not stopped praying all day. I am so glad you have been feeling God's peace today. I love your sweet baby girl and will not stop my prayers for her. I wish I could be there so badly. God is in control.

my dear friend- I have prayed continuously today. I know that God will comfort you, your family and your baby girl. I pray that you are surrounded by peace that surpassing all understanding. I feel too far away and will gladly drive to Michigan if you need a friend. I love you!

Praying for you guys. That feeling of helplessness is still very fresh in my mind. He is in control. He is faithful. No matter what. He is still on the throne.

Love you.

We love you so much and are praying for all of you of course. I am so glad you have family close by to support you during this time. I would give anything to be there with you now, but just know all of you are so greatly loved. Looking forward to good news...

Heidi, after reading through your blog, I can see why Katie loves you so much. (I'm her sister-in-law, by the way.) Katie emailed me this morning and I've been praying for Kaiya all day. I can't imagine what you've been going through today. I pray that God will heal her and that He will give you the strength you need to deal with whatever happens. Please keep us updated so we know how to pray.

Christina

we will be praying for y'all.

But I will keep on hoping for you to help me;
I will praise you more and more.
I will tell everyone about your righteousness. All day long I will proclaim your SAVING POWER, for I am overwhelmed by how much you have done for me. I will praise your mighty deeds, O Sovereign Lord. I will tell everyone that you alone are just and good. O God, you have taught me from my earliest childhood and I have constantly told others about the wonderful things you do." Psalm 71:14-17
Heidi and Mark, may this be little Kaiya's story...Love you.
