12/18/08 - 10:53am - A Glimmer of Hope!!!

PRAY!!! Get on your knees and pray right now!!!

Our doctor came to us not too long ago after having a group meeting about Kayleigh and told us that they have some small glimmer of hope. Now I said I would not go in to detail of Kayleigh's prognosis, but I want you to get the full understanding of what we are going through right now and what you all need to pray for.

Right now, Kayleigh is currently on the max setting of every machine and medication there is to keep her alive. She is on the vent, 100% oxygen, 20ppm NO2, Viagra, Prosticyclin, and still her oxygen saturation is at 80-85. She is also on 3 different pain/sedation medications and a constant drip of a paralytic. The paralytic is helping right now, but she is quickly getting to the max dose on that. The slightest touch sends her sats dropping and spiraling out of control in to a hypertensive episode. She has earmuffs to block out the sound as every bit of noise will also cause her to spiral out of control.

Kayleigh's x-ray came back yesterday showing some haziness around her lungs and the x-ray that was taken early this morning proved that haziness to be pneumonia and it is getting worse, quickly. They have ordered an ultrasound to see if the fluid showing up on the x-ray is inside or outside of the lungs. The good thing is, it is treatable by antibiotics and extracting the fluid. One follower mentioned Decadron, which is a steroid that helps with inflammation. They have a steroid similar to that which will do the same exact thing, but minus the negative side effects. So thank you for mentioning/screaming it to us. We heard you ;)

So, this pneumonia could be making her lungs cause problems with the pulmonary hypertension as did the urinary tract infection the other week. If we can clear up the pneumonia and the excess fluid, we may be able to get Kayleigh back to a state of stability. The only issue comes back to the pulmonary pressures and whether or not they have increased a lot due to the pneumonia and if they will be "fixed" at that level. It is like a zip tie. When something causes Kayleigh's pressures to rise/tighten, nothing will drop/loosen it up again. With Kayleigh's lungs looking the way they do right now, the doctors and nurses are shocked that Kayleigh is currently satting in the mid 80's.

All I have to say is that Kayleigh is fighting hard and God is listening to our prayers. Please keep praying that the pneumonia will clear up fast, her fluids will be released from her body and her pressures will return to a better level. Since the doctors have more answers, they are finding little hope in moving to a better prognosis. But, little hope from the doctors is A LOT better than no hope from them at all. Aimee whispered to Kayleigh this morning if she got better, she would give her some bacon. I think Kayleigh heard her, HA :)

We are beyond floored right now and we are honestly taken back as we truly feel that God is listening to all of our prayers right this minute. So please keep praying as hard as possible and hope that there is some way a miracle can take place and Kayleigh can make it through this. God is showing His signs of HIM being the one to decide what happens with Kayleigh, but it is evident that He is listening to our prayers. God is by far the one in control, so let's speak loud enough so He can hear every word we pray.

I will update you all as soon as I hear something.

GOD BLESS,

The Freemans :)

Waiting, hoping & praying! This page stays open all day at work and I refresh when someone isn't looking. I even talked to my co-workers about her. Your darling Kayleigh has touched so many lives, both of you, Amiee & Adam have touched more lives than you will ever know/realize!

Stay strong, continue to have faith.

I know how difficult it is to keep up with this when so many other things are important but we truly thank you for allowing us in your lives!

God Bless

I have been thinking about Kayleigh non stop and praying for her constantly.

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."

Kayleigh is lucky to have such strong parents, I will continue to pray for your family. I have also added a link from my blog (avabritniben.blogspot.com)requesting prayers as I truly believe God is listening.

All things are possible for those who believe.

We believe in God, you(Adam), Aimee, Brandon, Allyson, and especially you Kayleigh. You keep fighting I have said lots of prayers this morning and will say a million more today and all the rest of the days of my life. God has better plans for you little one here on Earth to continue to touch everyone's lives as you have already. You guys keep praying God is a miracle worker and a healer and he will take Kayleigh's pneumonia away just like he has done over the past 5 months with each and every battles. I am a nurse here in San Antonio, Texas and it has given me the strength to help give families knowledge that God's presence is everywhere. Thank you to God for giving the doctors, nurses, all the followers with knowledge about this situation the ability to use there hands to work your miracle. Lord Jesus your healing power is stronger than all modern technology, heal Kayleigh and give her the gift of life to spread your word for all to hear on Earth. I am just amazed and blown away God is so good. Thanks be to him for this revelation in saving Kayleigh.

Luke 18:1

Jesus told his disciples that they "should always pray and not give up."

and then Jesus asked "...will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night?

Mark 11:23-24
"I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain, `Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24) Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Thanks be to God,

Praying for her right now at my desk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Anonymous said...

PRAISE GOD! I wasn't satisfied with my post yesterday~ at all! So, I'm making up for it today. I wish I could have deleted it!

God is the ultimate healer, and the Great Physician. HE has Kayleigh in HIS hands, and is continuing to watch over her. He is in complete control over Kayleigh's body, and knows what she needs to make her better. My favorite verse is definitely Jeremiah 29:11 because it shows us that God has our best interest in His heart. He loves us, and wants His best for us. Kayleigh is in the best place she could ever be... in the hands of her Loving Heavenly Father.

I am still praying like crazy for your angel. The "K" has been on my hand for the last 3 days, and my kids are still praying for her. They come in every morning and immediately ask "How is baby Kayleigh doing?" After yesterday, they all said, "We're praying right now, and we're going home to tell our families to pray for her! She's going to make it" I pray that God's will is done in Kayleigh's life. I also pray for you two because I can't even imagine the emotional roller coaster you're on right now.


Please, Lord, help baby Kayleigh overcome this pneumonia. I am praying that you will take the penumonia out of her tiny body, and that her levels will go back down. I also pray for Adam and Aimee. Please be with them, comfort them, and let them feel your loving arms around them. I pray that you will allow them to get some sleep so they are rested, and able to be refreshed each day for their precious girl. Thank you for Kayleigh, and for all of the lives she has touched. You are a miracle worker, Lord, and I am praying for a miracle for this sweet baby girl. Thank you for your unfailing love for your flock.

In Jesus Name, Amen.



*Go Kayleigh* You're a fighter! You can get through this, sweet girl! We love you!! <3 <3 <3

Adam and Aimee,

I feel absolutley horrible that I wasn't able to comment yesterday, but my little one was having a hard day so I had to tend to him. BUT, I am so estatic of this posting today. This could be the answer that everyone could be looking for. She could have had a little something and it finally reared its ugly head! I hope and pray that this is the answer.

Kayleigh mom has the bacon, another poster has the eggs, and sweetie I have the orange juice and toast! PULL BABY PULL! Rest, gather your strength and go home with mom and dad! I love you my "cyber baby".

Adam and Aimee among everything you guys have going on I am so greatful that you have decided to post. I was thinking all day yesterday what could possibly be going on I had all kinds of scenarios in my head. Thank you so very much for allowing us into your life.

Praying like I never have before.

One day at a time-all part of one BIG miracle that isn't over yet...I was so relieved when I logged on this morning. The fight is not over yet. We're praying the pneumonia will clear up and give her body the chance to heal so the pressures can come down. Praying she grows bigger and stronger and gets the chance to sleep in her crib at home. Keeping you all in our thoughts.

Hi Adam and Aimee,

We are all very glad and were expecting to hear your good news! I am sure she will make it since her sats are in the 80's. My son also had pneumonia after being in the NICU for 4 weeks, and it cleared up after a few weeks.

Can you please tell us what is the name of the steroids Kayleigh is on? I wonder why the nicu dr did not give my son that one; he sure kept my son on Decadron for a very long time. I hope the side effects of Decadron did not cause his PHHN and high heart rate, etc.

take care,
Tam

PS- God will continue to bless your whole family (your two kids and grandparents included).

pss- The highest cannula hi-flow setting is "8", not 6. But it is better to be at 6. My son was at the cannual flow setting of 8 for a couple of days.

I will say it over and over again, Kayleigh is my hero. You know, before I ever entered 'blog-land' I had faith in God, but with the loss of my father at a young age, I sometimes staggered in my walk with Him. With Kayleigh's story, however it may end up, He has shown me that He is so so GOOD and HE does listen to us. Continuing to pray for y'all...constantly.

PS.- Adam and Aimee,

I forgot to tell you that my son was satting in the low 60's (and sometimes 50's) for almost a whole day when he got the pneumonia and serratia. He was on the vent for 2 months. So, Kayleigh is doing better than he was when he had the pneumonia.

So, just hang in there. It takes him to heal the pneumonia.

Jeri said...

Praying hard for you Kayleigh.
Also, my mom emailed the following to me this morning and I wanted to share - it's about HOPE by Dr. Terry Lyles:
HOPE ... The Ultimate Exercise

Hope is the canvas of life. We paint the details of our goals, aspirations
and dreams onto the canvas of hope, but they're merely the colors and the
brushstrokes. Without hope, we have nothing to paint on. The word 'hope'
has its roots in Old English and German, which give the word a base meaning
of 'trust'. Some dictionaries also suggest that hope is connected to the
word 'hop,' as in taking a leap. When you hope, you take a leap in
expectation. Hope is the ultimate exercise in visualization.

I've watched hope go out of people when a crisis or tragedy hits. They just
stop, because life as they know it is over. Well, it is, but refusing to
give up hope allows a new life to spring forth. Like the seed that has to
die unto itself before it can become a plant, a tragedy asks us to keep on
hoping, while letting go of the life we once had.

In the Bible, First Corinthians, chapter 13, there is the greatest definition
of love I've ever seen. It says you may have complete power or knowledge or
even sacrifice, but without love, your life is nothing. At the end, the passage
says (13:13): "And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the
greatest of these is love." You may solve many mysteries or move mountains,
but love is the purpose of life.

In Hebrews 11:1, it says: "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seen." Faith is the substance the paint on the brush
of the things we hope for. But hope is the canvas it's painted on. And what we
ultimately hope for is love: the unconditional acceptance of others and
ourselves. In Greek, three types of love exist: Philia, the love of friendship
and family; Eros, the love of sex and passion; and Agape, a God-like
unconditional love or acceptance, and the deepest kind of love. All three
types of love imbue meaning and purpose into our lives.

So love is the ultimate goal and it takes faith to live, but hope is the
trinity manifested through time. It's mentioned in the middle, not as a bookend.
Hope is in the middle of two very important things it's the glue that holds
together faith and love. If you lose hope, you skew the painting of your life
and instead create pain, sadness or hatred. Our hope comes to life in the words
we use, the choices we make and our relationships. We're always painting
pictures to reflect what we hope for. Our deepest inspiration is to do something
with that substance of faith onto the canvas of hope, so we can paint a life of love.

We simply need to make sure we have hope in something greater than ourselves.
If we only hope in ourselves, we're going to be limited. Hoping for success or
beauty will feel empty at the end of your life. So what if I made all of this
money, or accumulated nice things? Life is meant to be enjoyed and spent in the
moment! We must hope in something bigger than "I." Regardless what the holidays may
bring, you remember that the "Hop" in the future might be the medicine that you
need to transition to the next phase of excitement and peace.

Hope is the adhesive that holds a life together. Hope is "The Gift." Happy Holidays!

I am praying for Kayleigh and your family. God is the great healer and I call on Him to touch Kayleigh's body and heal her, calm her, and give you all His peace, that passes all understanding.

It is fantastic news that they found out some of what is going on with Kayleigh's lungs. I hate that she has pneumonia because I know how horrible that is on a teeny tiny body. But, at the same time thank God that is treatable. I pray and pray and pray some more that this is treated quickly and she starts to become more and more stable. Your daughter is much more of a fighter than I have ever seen in my entire life. God has truly sent you a miracle from Heaven and she definitely has a purpose here!!

My daughter, Andrea, called me this morning and asked me to do a favor and pray for you! What an honor it is to do this....our Lord is good and He hears! Her own son, my grandson, was born 10 weeks early and went through some difficulties that we saw God heal in ways that surprised the doctors...He is in the business of glorifying His name. I believe in His power and His love. I will pray for Kayleigh's physical healing and protection and for your continued strength. Hold on and believe in Him no matter what this world offers! Isaiah 43:1-3.

My 2 year old (which shares your birthday), Sept baby born one day before Kayleigh was due, and I just grabbed hands and prayed for Kayleigh. Hannah, my 2 yr old, always wants to see pictures of Kay-wee and now she says, "pway for Kay-wee". I told her she can pray for her anytime she thinks of her. Just say God please help Kayleigh. She said, "God pwease hep Kay-wee." Just thought I'd share with you. It made me cry. Kayleigh is touching the tiniest of lives.

Come on Kayleigh you can do it- we KNOW you can! I have a picture of Kayleigh on my desktop so I can see her beautiful little face and so that who ever passes by my computer will ask who she is and I can get just one more prayer up to God thru them!

Adam and Aimee,

My son was very sick when he was born. His lungs were terrible and they thought he had pneumonia. THey tried everything! Nothing was working. They then decided with help from NICU doctors all over the U.S. that they would try the medication that they use for CF patients. It was the magic medication. It helped to loosen up what he had in his lungs and was able to get that fluid out of there. Talk with your Dr's and see if that would also be a possiblity! We are praying hard for her in Wisconsin.

First off I want to say she is gorgeous!
I have been reading your story and it brought tears to my eyes. I lost my baby when I was 11 wks pregnant due to a chromosome disorder. My baby was growing 2wks behind one week and then went in for another u/s a week later and my baby was gone. She/he was meant to be in heaven with god.
Little Kayleigh has come so far and is a fighter. Kayleigh and your family will be in my prayers. Keep positive, she is in the best hands ever..Gods. May he protect her and keep her safe.

Come on Kayleigh!! Adam and Aimee, I came across your blog thru Babycenter and OMG! What a journey you and your family have been on. I read your entire blog last night and watched the videos and seen the beautiful pictures and bawled my eyes out. I have three boys, my youngest who is four months old and It really got me to realize how precious life is and to cherish every moment you have with your children. Kayleigh is a feisty little girl and I'm praying she keeps fighting. She's in God's hands and I hope he answers our prayers. Stay strong.

Much love from San Diego!!!

God's timing is always amazing..Never a second early or a second late. I receive from my uncle daily scriptures and this was todays.

Be Blessed and know your in our hearts.

Rich


‘And Zacharias said to the angel,

“How will I know this for certain?

For I am an old man,

And my wife is advanced in years.”’

Luke 1:18



It looked like Zacharias was too old, that it was

too late in life for him and his wife to have a baby.

And, to Mary, it looked like that it was too early to

get pregnant and to give birth.



Believer’s are not to go by what it “looks like,” but by

every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.



With men these things are impossible;

but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26



God’s work is never too early or too late!

God is good, all the time. you have been blessed with an incredible testimony. your family is an inspiration to so many struggling with their faith, and i hope you see how God is using you in such an incredible and positive way, even though the situation is painful. some of my favorite lyrics:

God will make this trial a blessing, though it sends me to my knees
Though my tears flow like a river, yet in Him there's sweet relief
There's no need to get discouraged, there's no need to talk defeat
God will make this trial a blessing, and THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD will see!

so many people have already been touched by your testimony, and you've given all the glory to the Lord! thank you for being so strong of faith; i can't imagine what all God will do with your testimony!

Angela said...

Right at this moment there is a little girl beside me that the picture of your daugther here, was her picture also! What your daugther is going through right now, this precious little one beside me also went through.Every battle, every diagnosis the Dr.'s told her parents (I'm her daycare provider), has been proven null and void by God. She has started her first year in School. Her parents didn't know if this day would ever come when they were in the nic u, when they were asked by the Dr.'s if they should continue providing care for their daugther, (of course they said yes). This precious girl, has become the 'burning bush' for her mother, and has lead many to the Lord! I will be praying for you and your family. Your a wonderful testimony of God's power and glory!!

You have no idea how much your story has effected me. I now check in daily to say how your precious princess is doing. My heart aches for you and since I started following this, I want you to know it has given me a renewed faith in prayer. For a while I thought that prayer only worked for certain people. I have been TTC my first baby and felt that God had stopped listening to me because I led such a sinful life. I met my husband while married to someone else. I know that is neither here nor there but.... I find myself praying for you and that sweet baby so much. Thank you Kayleigh for teaching me to trust the Lord once again. Thank you for sharing your story. I will continue to pray for your family!

I just found out about Kayleigh a few days ago and have been praying every day. It made me cry the first couple of days but today I have a feeling deep down inside that no matter what everything will be ok because everything is possible through God who strengthens me (and you, and Kayleigh)!!! I have a little baby girl who is 10 weeks old and your story makes me love her even more. The blog you wrote the other day about wanting to see all of those milestones in Kayleigh's life makes me realize how precious each day is with each of my children. I want to thank you for your encouragement by the faith that you share -- which I think is ironic with all that you are going through.

I found your site through another this morning and I am praying for you and your family. Never give up hope. I have had 2 special children. One born with IUGR that was not diagnosed until they delivered him by emergency c-section because he was not growing. We were told that he would never walk, sit, crawl, and basically told he would be trapped in his body. He will be 5 and does everything they told us he would not do and more, all because we were persistant and my daughter was born at 34 weeks, and although very developmentally behind, does remarkably well. As my pastor recently told us, all GODS children are in his hands and HE will watch and teach us all through him, even in our darkest moments.

GOD be with you all...

You do not know us. But I believe nothing is by chance. We try to seize every opportunity to lift the needs of God's people before the throne of God. We are adding Kayleigh to our church's Prayer Requests. We will be praying for complete healing for Kayleigh and wisdom and direction for the doctors. May every decision, every step be guided by the very hand of our Heavenly Father. God is definitely a God of miracles. Nothing or No one is too far from His reach. The more impossible it seems to the doctors, the more GLORY God receives once the healing is manifest. God LOVES to be Glorified!! "And whatsoever ye ask in my name that will I do that the Father may be glorified through the Son." John 14:13
Place all of your trust and faith in HIM! Our daughter Serenity is living proof that there is ALWAYS, not only hope, but Victory in the name of Jesus Christ. Jesus suffered for this very reason, to bring healing to little Kayleigh.
"Jesus answered them saying, Have Faith in God! Therefore I say unto you What soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe the ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Mark 11:22,24
"It is the Spirit the quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing; the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." John 6:63
Continue to Quote God's Healing Word over Kayleigh around the clock. For His Word is life!!! God has promised that His word shall not reture to Him void. "So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth; it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I send it." Isaiah 55:11 We will be praying!
"My son, attend to my words; incline thy ear unto my sayings. For they are life unto those that find them and Health to all their flesh." Proverbs 4:20,22
",,,and with HIS stripes we ARE healed." Isaiah 53:5
By the way we also have a daughter named Kayleigh as well, you are the first people I have met that spell her name the way we do. :)

Love in Christ,
The Burk Family

I am pulling for Kayleigh so one day her wonderful father can walk her down the isle and her beautiful mother can help her pick out the perfect dress!

I have been praying for Kayleigh you and Aimee on and off all day long. It's like God quickened to me to pray and pray in the Holy Spirit because even nurses do not know how to pray but God does and that is how I pray for my patients. I realize Kayleigh is not my patient but God has quickened me to pray for her continuously. Jesus told the disciples to pray without ceasing. So I pray for Kayleigh, You and Aimee as I pray for my neice Morgan Kate and her parents. I pray that God will continue to give you and Aimee strength.Kayleigh can do all things through Christ who is strengthening her. God wakes me up to pray for you, Aimee and especially Kayleigh.

YOUR LITTLE GIRL IS A TROOPER AND IS A STRONG LITTLE FIGHTER. I have all the faith in the world that she is gonna pull thru this. If there is anything i can do for you or anything you would like to talk about please feel free to email me
michelef518@yahoo.com I have asked my daughter in heaven to watch over her and help her thru this battle!

Many Prayers and tons of love,
Michele from pittsburgh pa!

Ijust started reading your blog two days ago and I am praying for Kayleigh. Her new prognosis is just proof of how awesome our God truly is. He is revealing himself to all of those reading this and keeping up with your trial. You guys have been such an encouragement and I will continue to pray with out ceasing. God bless
