All,

I currently have a niece who was born with omphalocele, she's a little over the age of 3 and under went a 5 1/2hr surgery at cincinnati children's hospital medical center. They was able to put back about 1/2 of her insides, however the liver and the rest will have to be put back over numerous surgeries. She'll still be required to have a trachea and feeding tube. I got a call about 5am that she has a fever of 101 and still getting morphine once an hour for pain.

Also if anyone in the local Cinci area knows any place that will deliver a teddy bear 32 inches or taller please let me know. I know she'll be placed in a private ICU room for a minimum of 4 days and promised her a Teddy Bear since I couldn't make it.

Definitely in our thoughts and prayers.

Surely we can find someone in the Cinci area with some spare time to pick up and deliver a bear if there's nowhere that will deliver I'd hope

Yea I'm surfing the net now to see what I can find in the local area, might even have to downsize the bear to 24". Who knew finding a teddy bear online was hard work.

Brother...I really couldn't even read your whole thread. I hate to see children suffer and it is one of my, if not my, biggest weeknesses.
Prayers and thoughts sent for sure.

Here is a link to a company that will deliver a teddy bear that you design on their site to anywhere in the 50 states. they do have an option for overnight delivery if you pay extra. Otherwise the teddy bear is shipped within 4 days:

I am praying for your niece.

I had a very hard time making the post, It's bad enough I barely see my family and then when something bad happens I've got to get permission to go home.(dang uncle sam)

I shared this with the wife... we are both praying for you, your niece, and your family as you go through this trying time.
