Update on The Rickman Family

I have just recieved the news that Hollians Heart pressure test came back with great numbers and great results. Her heart is pumping at the norm and looks good. Hollian still has fluid in her lungs but if all goes well after her ECG she will be coming off the vent sometime tomorrow. Hollian has been heavily sedated with the use of the drugs versed and fentnyl. Brandon said she woke up and asked for a pen and paper and asked some questions such as, " Where she was, what happened and how are the girls."

Here is what Brandon posted on Facebook:

"So we spent some time with hollian. she still is on the ventilator. maybe taken off tomorrow morning. her pressure test for her heart showed good numbers. she was awake when we talked to her and she wanted a pen and paper and asked us a few questions. its heart wrenching wanting to just hear hear talk. through everything she is doing really well consider what it was 24 hours ago. I LOVE YOU HOLLIAN!!!"

It is amazing to know how powerful our Heavenly Father is. Brandon said that he is happy that he made Hollian go back to the doctors when he did because if she was at home when this happened last night we would have lost her.

We were thinking this was the hospitals fault but we were told that the this was all caused by her pregnancy, pregnancy induced Heart Failure. The doctors said that Hollian shouldn't have any more babies because the next time will kill her.

I love that I got the chance to take care of my nieces and I will do it for as long as they need me too but I am so happy that they will soon get to see their mommy again.
