This has nothing to do with TN. Sorry for the change of topic, but I wanted to ask all of you for a prayer for my 5 month old niece. She's in the hospital fighting for her life (it all started with a Diaphragmatic Hernia that was undiagnosed) and has a 50% chance. This is a problem that is usually caught before the babies are born or right after (so she's a fighter), but she's getting weaker- its getting scary!

Thankyou!

" Thankyou all for your prayers! Unfortunately this is something that could go on for months!!! She is still in ICU after a week and still on ventilator (they tried to remove the vent the day before yesterday and she stopped breathing and needed CPR). It looks like her lungs and heart are going to be fine though, just slow healing- they are worried about what they fixed during the surgery on Tuesday. At the moment she is stable though. Thanks to everyone and I'll keep you all posted!!! "

" YAY!!! It looks like she's going to pull through this and go home sometime this weekend (possibly today)!!!! And there are no long term effects- just reflux that she'll outgrow!!!

Thanks everyone so much for your thoughts and prayers!!!! "
