Just had a phone call form my sister, saying that they are moving her to another hospital. They have sedated her very heavily so that she is basically paralysed and she has a lot of tubes & needles in her. She is still on the ventilator and will be for at least 3 days (at present timing).
Preliminary reports state that she has a viral infection similar to Meningitus but not meningitus. That is all that my sister has been told.
Will keep informed.
Don't pray much, but im sending all kinds of love and positive vibes to Brooke across the pond. Fight on, kiddo.
Your niece will be in my prayers and thoughts.
I've got your family in my prayers too Darren. Hope to hear some good news soon.

Really sorry to hear that Darren!
May God help her. I'll pray for her too.
prayed for her.
Words are but redundant shells of the thoughts already given wings by my heart..... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />
That's so sad. I hope she's ok. Please keep everyone up to date on how she's doing.
I'm not religious either but I echo what iateyourcat say's and my thoughts are with your niece and you/your family.
Just had another call from my sister, with no change reported since the lat post.
Both PapaSmurf's and my own thoughts go out to your niece and all her family.
Keep us updated.
Ashley.
I'll be praying for Brooke also.
Something very strange has happened in the last hour or so. I have just had a call form my sister telling me that about an hour or so ago, Brooke came out of the sedation, turned over, removing all the tubes, IV's, monitors, etc, from herslef and was standing up against the cot sides right as rain!!!! Hospital still don't know what caused the problems and are totally baffled now obviously! They are going to keep her in for a few more days to make sure that she doesn't relapse, but the worrying thing now is that at 14 months old, she only weighs 14lbs (UK Pounds @ 16oz to the Lb). Granted she was 4 weeks premature and has not been putting weight on properly since birth.
We are all still a little overwhelmed by her 'recovery' that we are thinking that it is too good to be true and she may relapse at any time (hopefully she won't but obviously the risk is still there).
As soon as I know more I will post.
Wow! That is wonderful to hear that she is doing a lot better. I'm sure the nurses had a shock when all the monitors started to go haywire, but were very ahppy to see her standing on her own.
Very odd, but I'm glad to see she's much better.
Give her lots of hugs from all of us here. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
