Virginia

Here is just a quick run down of Virginias story. In January Virginia broke her arm falling off the pool ladder here at the orphanage. It was a clean break, or so they thought. The bone was set for one break but as we found out about a month ago there were two. On thursday she went in to have the second break set. When they put her down for the operation they gave her too much anastetic that her little 5 years old body could not handle. Her heart stopped her 5 mins aswell as her breathing. They fought for 2 hours to get her back to stable. Since thursday she has now been in a coma. Her eyes are open, yet she does not respond to touch or talking. Last night her body starting going in to seizures and has not stopped. She seizes for a couple minuets and repeats, with the longest rest being 20mins.

Brad and Debbie decided they could not stand by and just watch. Today they boarded a plane to the capital city with Virginia in their arms. They are bringing her a bigger and better hospital where we can hope to get some answers, compared to the small hospital here on the island.

They will so be considering looking for longer term care if she does not get any better in the next few days. We are not sure if that care will be possible here on the island, and she will probably be a far way from us on the mainland.

Please continue to pray...
