Lucy is the 9 month old daughter of our niece. She has been very ill this week; has been in the ER twice, and is now in the pediatric ICU. She has E coli and the resultant Kidney condition known as HUS

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmedhealth/PMH0001539/

Lucy has possibly been having mini seizures and/or mini strokes and is in kidney failure.
She has been having high fevers, too. She is mostly unresponsive at this time (writing
this Sunday evening). We are all praying for a miracle tonight.

Thanks for praying.

(I reposted this to correct some information)

Here is today's update on baby Lucy, sent by her mommy (my niece):

update: there is way to much info to comprehend let alone put as a status but the short version is she is still very sick but improving. last night she seemed to actually wake up and look at us for the first time so that was very encouraging... taking it one hour one day at a time. praying today is a turning point

Thank you SpyCat.

Another update from Stacy about Lucy: "just when I think there can't possibly be any more IV's tubs, pumps, masks, machines... there's something else. starting apherisis plasma replacement now [Monday evening] The treatment is like dialasis but just replacing the plasma which is where the toxins and bad stuff are. Its going to take a few hours a day for 3 days and then we will see if there is improvement. Yes they thought it would be a good idea to try and be more aggressive about getting her better instead of just sitting and waiting. "

It is so hard to just sit and wait for other to do something for your baby. As a mom, you want to actively do SOMETHING to help.
Dear Heavenly Father, please place your healing hands about this little precious life and help her body respond to the efforts of all those who are helping her. Give the doctors the skill and knowhow to do what is necessary to have this child healthy and back in her parent’s arms. Give the parents peace that passes all understanding knowing you are in charge as they wait for you blessing to come about.

mama Stacy sent this out late last night.....please keep praying! Thank you:

well the baby steps Lucy made today were very exciting! She drank 2 oz of milk! first food she has had in her belly since tuesday last week! she is on IV nutrition but its a great sign she can eat on her own too. started slightly turning her head, eyes more open and alert looking, and lots and lots of pee! (this is good because it shows good kidney function). good things good things even if they are small :)
