Nina got some much needed rest last night. The morphine patch plus the atavan really made a huge difference!!! She even requested to keep the oxygen mask on all night, sweet precious girl!!!
Although Nina rested it was almost impossible for Eileen and I, who were laying next to her, to rest! Her breathing is so labored. You can hear the fluid build up, the accumulation of spit. Periodically she would burst into a violent cough, clearing her airway!!! Each of these coughing spells would shoot through Eileen and I like a bolt of lightening. We are remaining calm but it still hard to not be in constantly petrified when your child is fighting to breathe and here is nothing you can do!!!
Twice in the last hour she has woken up and said she was hungry. I explained Vovo an Vava were on their way to make breakfast. She didn't protest but quietly went back to sleep. She knows when Vovo and Vava make breakfast it is good times!!!
As I publish this post, she is still comfortably sleeping.
Sweet Beautiful Nina....

She's gorgeous, Rosy. Lots of love and prayers.
ReplyDeleteDear Rosy,
ReplyDeleteI am praying for you, Todd, Teddy and Nina. My heart is breaking when I see the pain you are all going through. Your strength is inspiring, but I know the sorrow and pain are devastating. Please know I, like so many, are standing with you through this and asking for God's mercy, strength and comfort on you all.
Love, Pat
Rosy,
ReplyDeleteLike you, I could sit and watch my girls sleep for hours. Praying your family may have many more restful nights of sleep.
Thank you. Even in all you are experiencing, you have documented and shared so much. While you may think that it was for you, it has been such an example and testimony to others like me.
Stay strong, magnificent mommy! I have witnessed through this blog how your LOVE has been poured out over your sweet Nina, your terrific Teddy, your supportive spouse, and all those around you.
Your Nina is touching hearts around the world....including this one in Ohio.

I came over from little Rudy's blog. I will share my Prayers with Nina, request miracles and peace and comfort for all of you.
ReplyDeleteA rosary is being said in her honor.

We are praying in Turlock. May God give you peace that HE knows what's happening and His timing is good. Not good in our scheme of things...but eternally He knows! God Bless you all.

All 100+ elementary kids at Monte Vista Chapel prayed for Nina, Teddy, Todd and Rosy as well as the whole family by name today, including grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins. We prayed for strength, courage and peace for each one. Our Father is faithful and good and loves each one of you unfailingly. I continue to hold you up hourly.
ReplyDeleteLove you guys. Thinking of you always.
