Prayers, Prayers, Prayers for the Rickman Family




As you all know, Brandon and Hollian welcomed a new baby girl into the family on October 21st. Hollian and the baby (Kristina) came home from the hospital on October 23rd and on the 25th Brandon took her back to the doctors for her severe swelling and breathing problems. During Hollians first hospital stay she was overloaded with IV fluid and very little urine output which also lead to Pulmonary Adema. Hollian has been flown to another hospital with the room and resources that she needs, before she went to a different hospital she stopped breathing and coded. Hollian has gone into heart failure and they are saying that she may need a new heart. Brandons NCO rushed him to this new hospital and left all 3 girls in my custody so I know have 6 kids, 3 boys and 3 girls in the ages of 8,7,5,5,2,6 days old. Today I was informed that Hollian's vitals were able to stay up in normal range. her bp came up and her pulse came down. Also, she started running a fever and are trying to find the cause of it. Later this afternoon the doctors are going to do another echocardiogram and pressure test on her lungs and heart to determine if she needs to be put back on the lasixs. Hollian was put on the ventilator last night and has been heavily sedated so she shouldn't be in any discomfort right now. I will keep you all posted as I am but for now, prayers would be greatly appreciated.
