Please Pray for my Cousin

My cousin Erin is 16 years old and she is mentally challenged. She doesn't speak except to say ma ma and she is really more like a 2 year old. Give or take depending on the circumstance. She is able to use some sign language to communicate . She can do eat, drink, movie, lights, thank you. Give or take depending on the circumstance. Here is a picture. She is the one at the bottom of the picture. The other two are her sister Jenny and brother Timmy. Barney is her favorite t.v. show ever!

On Tuesday March 13Th Erin went in to the hospital to have surgery on one of her legs. You see her feet point outwards in stead of straight forward. The surgery is a rough one so they were going to do just one leg and then in 6 months the other leg, because she will have to learn how to walk all over again.

So anyway, they did the surgery and everything seemed okay. They said her oxygen level was low and they put a face mask on her. Then later another doctor comes in and says her heart rate is way up. They order a chest X-ray and EKG. They then take her to ICU. Since then things have gotten progressively worse. Her lungs collapsed and wouldn't inflate again. They had to give her a breathing tube. She can not breathe on her own at all now. Once the tube was in, the machine inflated her lungs and is breathing for her.

Last night in the middle of the night her blood pressure dropped and the lines in her arms aren't working well enough to give her medicine. They had to put a central line in her shoulder so they could give her the medicine she needs. If that doesn't work they will have to put a chest tube in.

Her red cell count is down now too. (I think that is what it is) And she may have to have a blood transfusion.

I'm trying to keep a positive attitude. It is really hard though when the doctors can't figure out what is wrong and why this is happening.

Please pray for her in her time of need.

Thank You so much
