Prayers sent…
Eric, hope all is well.
MM’s idea is excellent.
Prayers go out for her and your family.
Prayers and an e-mail with links sent to a local station (they sometimes do stories like this) are both outbound. A donation will be coming shortly.
Prayers out. Hope she is doing better.
Eric,
Prayers sent and many more on the way Brother.
Eric prayers sent and will donate what I can on payday.
Eric,
I live near Bristol and if there is anything I can do for the family, please let me know. If they need somebody to feed their dog or take out the trash, whatever.
I recently became an uncle for the first time and I can’t imagine what the family is going through right now.

Prayers sent for baby Aoife.

My sister-in-law spoke to Aoife’s mother last night. He said she sounded a little more upbeat and happy about Aoife’s progress. The doctors have not said much about her progress, but Momma can tell that she is making some. Her color is better, and she is only on 30% oxygen now. She keeps pulling her feeding tube out - not good, but it shows that she is getting stronger and is fighting. They actually had to tie her tiny arms down, which Momma doesn’t like, but she knows it has to be done.
Thanks again to everyone.
Eric,
Prayers out. Donation to follow.

Terry, good to hear from you. I didn’t know you were on here.
Thank you for praying.

My friends know this is my verse,
and I am praying it for you. I love it b/c you can’t be strong and couragous unless you feel weak and fearful, also to stand strong and keep your wits about you.
Josh 1:9, Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not tremble or be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.NASB
Never Back Down, Never Give Up, and Never Loose Faith
Prayers sent to baby Aoife and the entire family.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take Heart! I have overcome the world.” John 16:33
Thank you, everyone.
I just posted the most recent update to the site.
The bumper stickers arrived today as well.
I and the family will pray for her too Eric.
Quick update:
I spoke to my sister last night and she sounded very good. Aoife is continuing to gain weight, and is taking the bottle. She is still on the feeding tube, but it developed a blockage. She is still undergoing breathing treatments daily, and making trips to JCMC on a daily basis. A family friend has graciously offered the use of their SUV to allow my sister to transport the whole family if need be. They are still having problems with their Jeep and old pickup truck, so this is a great help.
The heart surgery is probably going to take place at UVA, which is a 5-6 hour commute. This will require an overnight stay for each trip (the surgery and each follow-up visit). It sounds like my sister and her husband may have to stay up there for a week during the surgery and recovery. More time off work for him…
The good news is, that it looks like Aoife will be approved for MedicAid. I certainly hope so, as the hospital bills have already begun to arrive. The helo flight wasn’t cheap.
She has come so far in the last week, and has proven to be a little fighter. Her parents are very encouraged and the whole family is forever grateful for everyone’s generosity and especially their prayers. They thank you all, as do I. I’m encouraged to see what kind of people frequent this little corner of the Internet.
You have my gratitude. I’ll keep you posted.

You got that right! A friend of mine had a complicated childbirth about three years ago and took a 45 minute ride in an emergency helo that cost more than most used cars.
I continue to pray for your niece and family. Thank you for the update.
