So sorry to hear this news Brent.  Let me know if you need anything, even just to bring you some dinner to the hospital.  Praying for your little girl.

Dominican is a great hospital... They caught my son's Mal-rotated intestine in time to save him and he was flown to Stanford asap! Prayers for her and hope all goes well. They have the Ronald McDonald house there for family of patients to use. http://www.ronaldhouse.net/ Free, please forward to them. They can stay there instead of hotel ect...
my new name should be Ostridge. Got my head in the sand. Going fishing and letting go of the other stuff I can't control anyway!

I talked to Brent at Lunchtime. I was overcome with emotion as he described his little girls fight right now. What kind of evil business would fire an employee for having to take care of their child at the hospital. Brent's wife's former workplace that's who.  Brent made all the buttons for Albion, the Mooch buttons too. Never charged a penny for them. Brent, my family and all my co-workers are  thinking of Hailey today. Bless her heart.

Thank you All!

We had a brief moment of joy, she ate 2 sticks of kitkat! first food in 5 days. Doc said even candy was ok, she then got up and sat in a lazy boy type chair for 2 hours. Then she hit a wall, her oxygen dropped and her breathing is labored, got her back in bed, turned her  oxygen back up to max.

Shes in some pain too. Shes definitely a trooper.. This has been so emotionally difficult for my wife and I. For sure a life changing ordeal. Im so thankful for you all, wether I know you or not.  THANK YOU All for the support.

If I only get one prayer answered this year, I hope it is mine for your daughters speedy recovery.  My daughters, Haylee & Saylor, send their prayers and love.  My wife & I went thru a similar scenario with our youngest daughter on Thanksgiving day when she was only 1 month old. 

If there is anything we can do to help out, please reach out to us.  Hope we meet someday under blue skies so the kids can play.

Brent... so glad to hear some progress.  Hailey and your family are in my prayers.

Life can be so cruel and ironic, especially when you think of all the bad things that happen to some of NCKA's best.  FYI, Brent started the whole PIF effort for NCKA when Mooch was first diagnosed with cancer.  We love you Brent!
