Prayers and support. ..

My 6yr old neice is on life support. Her lungs are no longer functioning. Shes been very ill since birth. Shes having seizure after seizure. The screen was full. They tried taking her off of the breathing machine last week and it didn't work. She is unconscious and in one last attempt to save her they want to induce a coma and see if that along with something else works to stop the seizures. Its not looking good and at this point the dr is just trying things to see if they will work. But shes already suffered enough and been thru enough. Her little body is tired and God has been calling his Angel for some time now. Theyre giving her till Friday to respond. Then they will have to decide wether or not to take her off. My husband is a wreck. He keeps crying and he has all 5 of our kids in our room:)
Please friends keep my neice Ariel in your thoughts and prayers tonight...love you all and Good night:)

It's such a hard thing to go thru eespecially at such a young age. Keep ur faith no matter what. Sending hugs and positive energy ur way.

We're here at the hospital waiting to see if she responds to the meds. I think the dr is trying anything at this point and nothing seems to be working. My sis in law is a mess. Thank you all for your kind words and prayers. It truly does show how much each and everyone of us mean something to one another.

I'm so sorry to hear about your niece.  I cannot even fathom how awful it must be to have watched her suffer for so long, what a helpless feeling.  Prayers for courage and strength for everyone.

Of coarse, as sad as this situation is, if she is just suffering too much then like you said, god will take her and make her hurting stop.
Im so glad your sister in-law does not judge you, that can help so much with how we feel about ourselves.
Im just overwhelmed at how many loved ones people have lost or have issues that are irreversable. It pushes us to breaking point and tests every bit of strength we have.
I really do wish some kind of peace on yourself and your family very soon.
Tough times for many, thats for sure.
So glad your still clean, you really are a fighter xx

Shes basically in a vegetative state. Since she was about 8 months old she's been bed riden she has a feeding tube. She cant walk or talk. She has Micro Cephaly. Its gotten worse as shes gotten older. She has a very weak immune system and my sister in law took her to Dallas for Easter weekend and the next day she stopped breathing. They dont know how long she was without oxygen beforw she checked on her. Plus the ride to the hospital. They don't know for sure how much more brain damage was done. When I saw that computer screen monitoring her brain waves there was seizure afyer seizure. They dont know why thats happening. The tested her lungs and the muscles are not expanding. The brain isn't telling them to function. It felt so awkward being around my husbands family but my sister in law is one person that hasn't judged me and didnt take what happened personally. It was so sad seeing her like that but I know its in Gods hands and she will no longer have to suffer.

My goodness, i am so very sorry, this is a terrible, terrible situation.
I have a 6 year old girl and could not imagine.
She must be extremely tough to have been through so much since birth, and i can only hope the good Lord will let her stay.
I will prey for Arial, that she can win this fight.
God bless you all, im so sorry : ( xx
