Becca's Wish Trip........Update:September 2011.....Photo's....Sorta :)

[QueenMomof2]

Becca, you and your whole family will continue to be in our prayers.

I hope you have your little girl back soon.

Praying that she makes great progress quickly. Hospital stays are the worst, we have one coming up and I'm not looking forward to it, unexpected ones are even more painful. Try to take a little time for yourself while you are there even if it's 10mins.

I haven't posted before, but I wanted to add my prayers to the bunch! I will light a multitude of candles for Becca on Sunday and add her to the continuous prayer list.

I hope and pray your Becca will be feeling better soon.

God Bless!

Becca has had her surgery and is in PICU.

At around 2 hours after taking her to surgery the brain surgoen came and told us that he had drained the abcess but unfortunately she had blood in the stuff they aspirated out and after a CT scan they had found that she was carrying on bleeding and filling the cavity they had just created by draining the abcess. Blood and bacteria had also managed to get into the left ventrical of the brain so we are in a fingers crossed and wait pattern at the moment.
She has a drain in her skull going down into the brain to try and drain the left ventrical and is on a whole slew load of antibiotics to combat the infection. We are waiting to see infectious desease people to try and pinpoint the bacteria she actually had growing in the brain. The abcess was spherical in shape measuring around 3cmx3cmx5cm plus a whole load of water that had gathered around it. The abcess is still there but is now full of blood instead of bacteria.
Becca hasnt really regained consciousness as "Becca" as yet, she has been awake and a little bit aware but doesnt really acknowledge us or anyone around her. We have been told that this is due to the trauma she has suffered, but they cant tell us whether or not this is a long lasting thing or will disappear soon.
She is presently having a CAT scan to see where she is at.

We are looking at at least 2 to 3 weeks in hospital with 3 to 6 months of antibiotics via a IV PIC line.

We are devastated and just want to see OUR little girl.

We will update as we can, it is hard when in PICU because we arent allowed electronics etc and have to rely on the hospital computer being free in the parents room.

Thanks for all of your prayers
Mandy

Becca just got back from a wonderful trip from disney and now in the hospital having brain surgery. I am sorry and sending tons of pixie dust and well wishes your way.

Hi Mandy,

New to Becca's story, but wanted to post and let you know that I am pulling for all of you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

[coteau_chick]

I am praying for Becca and your family too.

I haven't been back on the boards much since our son Mark's Wish Trip, but something compelled me to check in. I remember reading about Becca's Wish being granted while we were planning our trip.

I saw the message about Becca's surgery and wanted to pass along my thoughts - you are all in my prayers too. We will all be checking and hoping for a positive update soon.

Several of the Wish Kids on these boards and their families have faced major health challenges recently, I see now. I am reminded of how precious life is, and how our love for our families not only gives our children strength, but also sustains us through difficult times.

So...know that you are supported, and the subject of a multitude of prayers, from fellow Wish families near and far (we're from Toronto, Canada).
