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!

This made me cry. I will be praying for Kaiya and her health. I will also pray for you and Mark during this time. I cant imagine going through this, but know that the Lord will give you strength to do so. Our prayers are with you!
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.
We are sending lots of love and prayers your way. Hospitals are hard and being at the hospital because of your baby is the hardest.
With a big hug,

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!
We love you!
Just spoke with Lesley. I don't even know what to say. Peter and I will keep your family in our prayers.

Praying and praying and praying for you all. Love you and beautiful Kaiya. Peace and comfort to you.
We love you so much and will continue to pray for Kaiya, just as we have been all day.
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.

Our thoughts and prayers are with 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.
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.
still praying...
Heidi and Family,
Lee and I are praying for your baby girl and your family.
