Last night our next door neighbor's beautiful, healthy, 1-year-old baby girl keeled over suddenly with no warning. Her name is Chloe Shaw and she was airlifted this morning to Egleston Hospital for emergency heart surgery. The docs have already told the parents that she may not make it.

Praise God! Lord, continue to keep Your healing hand on Chloe. I pray that You give her restoration and her doctors the wisdom to do all that can be done for her. I pray that you continue to comfort her family and keep them strong for Chloe's sake. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.

Lord, we lift this dear little child and her parents up to you and we ask that you will touch her, heal her, and give her parents peace of mind and heart. The little ones deserve a chance to live and grow, Dear Lord, and we pray this well be so in Jesus name.

Thanks for the update. If it is Pericarditis, them the actual heart muscle is not the issue. Hopefully they can control the infection. But to happen in such a little one-------

Dear Lord, please watch over Chloe, and guide those treating her.

Any News?

Praying still.

UPDATE: Chloe remains in Cardiac Intensive Care, no great improvement but not sliding downhill either. Her heart is enlarged, and she now is retaining fluids, with some fluid in the lungs and no urine output. The virus is being treated with every med they can give her.

The cardiologist says that it could be weeks in this condition before she is able to leave or either goes downhill. He thinks that even if she recovers, she will always have the risk of heart problems and may even be a candidate for a heart transplant in the future.

This was such a surpise to everyone since she was out and toddling around the yard and laughing and playing just a day before. Somehow this virus just went straight to her heart. She is sedated and they are turning her over every hour.

I probably won't post any more updates until there is some change for better or worse, this could be days or weeks or ??? But sincere thanks to ALL of you who have prayed and responded to little Chloe. Prayer works, good fellowship works, God works. We've done about all we can do.
