Bad news from the doc.

[2000stanggirl]

Unit, I am so sorry to hear about Adriauna. I can tell you after spending 4 years in and out of pediatric intensive care with my son, these kiddos are very tough. Their little bodies and minds can endure far more than we adults can. It is important for the adults around her to keep their chins up, and keep their worry to a minimum around her. Lots and lots of love, constant encouragement and familar things (dolls, teddy bears, etc.) will help her the most. She has a long road of recovery ahead of her.

My 4 1/2 year old son has been resusitated over 80 times, endured 24 surgeries, and been so near death too many times to count. He has taught my that kids can bear tremendous loads, and not be any worse for the wear.

Adriauna is most certainly in my prayers. Please keep us updated.
