    15 Feb Update

    **update on our girl nena**

    So throughout the day nena has made some big improvements. She is starting to move her head, right arm, and both legs! Today she grabbed my fingers and sqeezed them! She is thee most strongest, bravest little girl i know! Today i also found out that the drug nenas was gifted is the most expensive drug in the world!! And our little girl & us were lucly enough to get it gifted! $100 thousand dollars it would have costed. Im feeling so so thankful! As that drug is obviously working for our girl!

    Further to this update. It appears that someone has been ring Starship Hospital trying to find out information on this child. Trying ringing back again using her Father's Surname.... Celena-Jay Leofo Miller. This is the child's full name...

      14/02/2016 **Update on celena-jay**

      Morning everyone.

      So this morning not so good. Celenas was put back on the breathing machine lastnight as she decided to stop. She has been giving a really specail drug that has only been used once in nz before. Apparently its very very expensive and they had to go through alot of nooks and crannys to get it. Because of the amount of damage to our girls brain they gave it for free and sent it over last night. So other than that nothings changed. All i know is that our girl is strong, shes definitely a fighter!

      15/2/2016**update**

      Celena is now breathing on her own again with minimal support. Yesterday and lastnight my girl was moving her head flikkering her eyes and sqeezing our hands. Althought nothing has changed in her condition, we feel shes been responding to us. She is having another m.r.i scan on her brain on wednesday. Hopefully then we should know more. Their biggest concern at this stage is her brain. They have givin her all the treatment that they can for her condition. So now its just waiting, waiting, waiting.

      **2nd update**

      So.....

      Celenas scan results are back.

      Good news is the swelling in her brain has gone down, and the doctors and nurses are very proud of celena and how far she has come. Considering they thought she wasnt going to make it, she is now opening her eyes and looking around at all of us. The thinking side of her brain looks to be fine (which is awsome) but... the movement side of her brain has damage, there is signs of lots of strokes and bleeding in the department. This means that we will be here for months, she needs alot of treatment and alot of support and compfort. Because of her age there is chance that she will recover completely but all we can do is wait. She will be in i.c.u for a few weeks yet and then she will be moved to the kidney ward for a few months, after that she will have to go to a rehabilitaion center to start teaching her to get moving again.

      So although its not all good news.. i know, my mum knows, and her umak knows she is going to make it though this and even if she is not the same for a while i know and have faith the our little girl, no matter how long it takes, is going to recover from this. I know she is. Shes a fighter, shes so strong, and she is so so brave!!

      Hey everyone, havent done an update for abit. The past few days have been horrible. Nenas has been in so much pain thankfully we think we have it undercontrol now. Nena had to go for a c.t scan this morning as we thought there was something going on, she wasnt breathing right, poor thing was in pain, her heart rate went right down to 55, it was horrible!!!! But.... results came back and turns out the swelling in her brain has gone, it doesnt mean the damage hasnt gone but atleast we know her brain is healing. They told us it may be just that because she is becomming more alert and is off a few medications, that she will be feeling it. Shes probably over being sore and wants us to know. This evening she has been betrer though and looking better. She gave me and her nanan a few smiles, & we gave her a little tickle . Her blood results for today have come back and have improved aswell. Its been a tough few days for nena, aswell as me and mum. Fingers crossed she has a good sleep tonight and can have a better day tomorrow.

      Xx

      **update**

      Ok so here it is.....

      Something is going on with celena, and my personal opinion is that she has gotten worse.

      Lastnight celena was having multiple seizures. She stoped breathing. And i knew there was something wrong. I have no answers to any of this right now. But i think its worse than what was originally thought. At the moment i think we are trying to prepare ourselfs. i know it sounds out there and scary and i know im not a doctor... but i am her mother and so far my instincs have been right. I dont know what else to put in this update because thats all i can really give you all as of yet.

      I've posted on behalf of Jade please give generously or share the page we have no idea how long it will be until they come home ?
