I updated as a reply further down the page.
Prayers and vibes and what you all do best is what we need. My 8yr old niece (whom I love like my own and whom spends weeks at a time with my family) is getting rushed to a wonderful hospital right now. A simple "flu" or virus has turned into an infection surrounding her cerebral fluid. I'm a wreck. I'm worried sick, esp not knowing, not being her parent I'm not exactly in a position to sit by her side (her mother is not in the picture but her dad is with her) so I feel so awful just waiting to hear ... I'm just dying to go be by her side, but I am forced to wait for the phone to ring to get updates. Please please send those wonderful vibes and prayers for her that this can be cleared up with simple medications and she can go back to being a healthy child.
Also my hubby's uncle died of a long fight with cancer yesterday. He was a very special Uncle, god rest his soul, he's no longer in pain. It's the one's that love him are suffering now.

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.

Lord, You invite all who are burdened to come to You. Allow your healing hand to heal Taraanns niece. Touch her soul with Your compassion as you have done for others. Touch her heart with Your courage and infinite love for all. Touch her mind with Your wisdom. Let us reach out to You in her need. Most loving Heart of Jesus, please bring her to health in body and spirit so that she may serve You with all her strength. Touch gently her life which You have created, now and forever.
Amen.
Keep us posted Tara

Hopefully they will be able to get her fixed up nicely once they can get the pressure off and absess drained......not real familialr with that type but knowing how most absess's work once drained it is amost instant releif and healing. Prolly need some antibiotics of course but hopein they can get it drained fast and no complications and everything heal up safe and sound. Back to the 'NORMAL' girl Pam

UPDATE: My 8 yr old niece has a brain abcess

Sorry it's taken me so long to update all of you. First of all thanks so very much for all the prayers and vibes. They mean alot!
Well I spent her first night in the hospital by her side all night. She is unable to walk, or urinate, and has times of confusion. Her speech is better. The poor thing had to have a catheter put in and it took 3 tries to find the proper size. I had to hold her still and listen to her scream while they did it. I can not describe how heartbreaking that was. Just her looking me in the eyes with a look like I was betraying her. BUT she is doing a bit better now. She was up in a wheel chair yesterday and got to paint a bird house. So that is promising. They have started her on IV antibiotics and steroids and will give that 5 days to see if that works. The doctor told me that most likely after 2 YEARS we won't see any lasting side affects. 2 YEARS?!!? I am hoping to go back up to the hospital again today . I have so many questions, does that mean she will be in a wheel chair for up to 2 years? etc etc.
Her dad has really dissapointed me. She cried for him that first night, but he "needed" to go home and get some sleep. He spent all of one night (the second night) and she has been alone since then. We called her yesterday and Antoinette talked to her on the phone and told her to hurry up and get better so they can play again. I am at the mercy of others to get to the hospital cause I don't have a decent vehicle that can make the 1hr ride. This poor girl has been through so much in her short life, she was taken from her mom cause her mom couldn't get clean of drugs. She took care of her younger siblings while her mom was busy getting high. Then she starts fresh with her dad this past year, her dad gets a nasty divorce from his wife (different woman than her mother) shortly after she moves in with him. Non stop turmoil for her.
I will keep you all updated as I find out more about her condition.

Poor little girl--my heart goes out to her. I hope things improve soon. Kids are so resilient--perhaps she'll get better more quickly than expected.
I'm so sorry for your trouble.
Best wishes,
