#Pray4Nanis

Hell-O GLEEks.

I am writing this post with a request for help. I have met so many wonderful GLEEks on Twitter lately, and I recently began chatting with one a few weeks ago when I noticed in a post of hers that she died on the operating table & came back! I was so moved by that, I began chatting with her.

Our fellow GLEEk, @gleeknaniiss, is a 22 year old who is fighting for her life as I write this. She told a small circle of us that she wanted to get out of the hospital & live her life but knew she was too weak. We have been praying for her & encouraging her to take care of herself. She knows to do that & had a new look on life. She also fully believes that she is not done on Earth yet. I believe that, too.

Nanis has a blood condition that causes her to bleed. It was discovered a later than it probably should have been. She has been in ICU for weeks & recently had to undergo another surgery for internal bleeding. We have been truly concerned about her since then. She slipped into a coma, but came out of on GLEE's premier night! She had actually hoped to be well enough to travel to watch it, but that wasn't to happen.

A friend of hers has been updating us on how she's doing...
It's not well at the moment. Her heart is very weak now, and the doctors cannot do much more for her. She has to fight it out now.

I know she is in God's hands & she has so much faith! She is a beautiful spirit who is in desperate need of our prayers right now!

Would you please join me in our Twitter movement of #Pray4Nanis? We need these prayers from around the world coming from her fellow GLEEks!

I also ask that you pass this along. She is an amazing story & an amazing person. No, I haven't met her face-to-face, but our chats have been inspiring!

Thank you.

9/24 Update

Hell-O GLEEks!

They have brought in another doctor who wanted to change her medication. It has been done & there is improvement! She is awake & talking! She is sending her love to everyone who has been supporting her with love & prayers!

Thank you to those of you who have shared this post with some of the GLEE cast, too. Iqbal Theba does send his well wishes for Nanis to get better! What a great guy!

We are no where near done in this journey, GLEEks! Please continue the #Pray4Nanis movement as God keeps His mighty healing hand upon her & her spirit. Also include her family & friends who are there with her experiencing these miracles! Please pray for the doctors & medical staff that are helping with their healing hands & knowledge.

God is good...All the time! We love you, Nanis!!

** 2nd Update **

She has just had a relapse! Please pick up the prayers!! She needs us NOW!!


9/25 Update:

Nanis had to have another surgery. She came out of surgery very early this morning. She's still going, but in delicate condition. She cannot have visitors right now, but does have a doctor in the room with her around the clock!

Thank you to everyone who has been praying & giving support! Please keep praying for our dear friend!


9/26 Update:

Well GLEEks, Nanis' blood pressure went down last night. She is sedated right now & still no visitors, of course. In the meantime, her grandfather passed away yesterday (9/25) & they are having the funeral today. I do not thing Nanis knows due to the state she is in.

Please continue the #Pray4Nanis movement & be sure to include her family though this time. What a heartbreaking situation! Also include her doctors, nurses & friends though all of this.

Thank you to everyone who has been supporting Nanis. Even if you are not one who prays, please either start or send positive energy her direction!

Much love to you all!


2nd Update (9/26)

Our Nanis is really fighting hard tonight! Her blood pressure keeps dropping. Please pray harder, send positive & healing energy, and be sure to spread the word! She needs us right now GLEEks!

Thank you all for all of your love and support! Her family needs this too. Do NOT forget to pray for the doctors & nurses who are with her & treating her!!


9/27 Update:

Well, the doctors are really working hard to keep Nanis stabilized. The family is going through so much right now. Her grandfather was buried today & they are dealing with the ups & downs at the hospital.

Here's the hard & tricky part: the Mexican doctors want family & friends to start saying their goodbyes to her; the Houston doctors are saying there is hope & she will make it. I am putting my faith in God & the Houston doctors & hope you will join me!

Please make #Pray4Nanis surge to get word out about her! The power of prayer is amazing!! Continue to pray &/or send healing & positive energy to Nanis, her family, her friends & all the doctors & medical staff that are going through all of this right now! Please share this link also when & where you can! She needs us now, they all need us now! Even if you are not on Twitter to spread #Pray4Nanis, please at least share this link!

Thank you for all of your love, kindness & support for Nanis!


9/28 Update:

I got word this morning that, late last night, Nanis went into cardiac arrest. Doctors have worked very hard to save her. She is a fighter & has made it through yet again. She is an amazing miracle that remains in a very delicate state. She has been going through this last round for over a week now & is still going.

She obviously still needs our help. Her family still needs our love. The doctors & medical staff still need our support. Her friends still need our thoughts. Please continue our #Pray4Nanis movement...more than ever! It has been a hard journey, so let's take her by the hand & help her through these rough parts.

Thank you all for the continued love & support for Nanis. Her friends & family have expressed their ongoing gratitude for it!


9/29 Update:

Got word that Nanis is in an induced coma, but stable. Which is good for now. Please continue to Pray 4 Nanis, her dear friends that keep us updated, her family & certainly her doctors & all medical staff working with her!

Thank you, GLEEmunity, for you continued love & support of our friend!


2nd Update (9/29):

OMGlee!!! Nanis is responding to her new medications, is off of the ventilator & is AWAKE!! She is under strict observation, of course, and still no visitors allowed, but the power of prayer is amazing! And she is such a strong spirit!

Please continue to pray for this roller coaster ride! Keep praying for her recovery, for her family & friends going through all of this, and for the doctors & medical staff that are helping her heal! Pray that this ride ends soon & well! I would love for her to be able to tell about this ride!! Wouldn't you?

The love & support of the #GLEEmunity has been amazing! You all are wonderful! The family & her friends have been so appreciative!


10/1 Update:

Sorry for no updates yesterday, but there really weren't any. Which is a good thing!

What we know today is that she is getting antsy & is complaining that she is still unable to have visitors! YEA! She's complaining about no visitors! This is a very positive thing & she one tough chic! I know I keep saying this, but Nanis is an amazing spirit that is both so sweet & so strong!

Our prayers are working GLEEks! What an amazing GLEEmunity we have to love & support each other in these kinds of times!

Keep praying for Nanis. Of course, be sure include her family & friends as they are feeling the effects of the exhaustion of this whole ordeal. Please continue to pray for the doctors who have had faith in Nanis & are working hard to make sure she can leave that hospital to go and continue living her life, as well as the medical staff that are there supporting these doctors & working with Nanis!

Thank you all for keeping up with these posts, too! You all are amazing!


10/3 Update:

Well everyone, our prayers are working wonders & miracles! As Nanis is still in ICU, she got to have family see her, and then hopefully more visitors tomorrow! This is amazing, GLEEks! Keep up the prayers! You all are amazing!

I would like to take this moment to call out a particular blog. Fake Live Journal Deaths has been trying everything they can to prove this as a hoax; that's what they try to set out to do...scope the internet & take things out of context to try to say every "death"-type story is a hoax. Yes, http://community.livejournal.com/fake_lj_deaths/, I know it's you. There was even an awful comment left early on in this movement that I refused (and still do) to post due to the cruel nature it has. Well, my non-believing readers. There's this thing out there called prayer & another that goes along with it called miracles. That's what you are experiencing with this whole thing, so sorry you can't prove much else from your stand point. I also know that you keep checking here. So hopefully it has encouraged you to pray, not prey.

Keep up the great prayers & keep the movement going as our beautiful friend keeps up on the mend!

GLEEks are amazing!! And so is Nanis!


Late 10/4 Update:

Nanis is not doing very well right now. She might still get a couple of visitors, but more tests need to be run. Keep the prayers up NOW, GLEEks!! Nanis needs us to make it through this! So does her family & friends! Pray for them and for the doctors & medical staff that have faith in her & are working to keep her here & get her healed! The movement needs a new upswing! Let's go!!

To our beautiful Nanis: Keep Holding On!
To all the GLEEks out there praying: Don't Stop Believin'!


10/6 Update:

Just a quick update...Nanis is still struggling. She is still in ICU & she has been in a lot of pain lately, and she started bleeding a little through her nose so the doctors got worried and said it would be safer to just cut the visits for now, however she is still awake & fighting!

So that's where we are at!

Keep praying, GLEEks! Keep up the #Pray4Nanis movement! Remember her family, friends, doctors, nurses & medical staff! They appreciate the support, thoughts, prayers, positive thoughts & healing energy! Keep it up!


10/8 Update:

PRAY HARD!! About 4 hours ago (of this update), Nanis is in surgery...brain surgery. With her very fragile state lately (even though she is QUITE the fighter), there is a lot to be concerned about this time. Her family & friends are frightened with this surgery. Frankly, her twitter friends are too...like me.

If you thought you needed to pray hard before, #Pray4Nanis must be bigger & stronger NOW!!

Pray for her strength & spirit though the surgery. Pray for her family & friends as all they can do wait. Pray for her doctors, nurses & medical staff as they are dealing with a very serious & fragile form of healing with her.

PRAY HARD, GLEEks!! Please!

Thank you...and hope to update you with some good news...


2nd Update (10/8):

Nanis made it through surgery & the doctors got a blood clot from her brain. Hopefully this will help out with a lot of problems. Please continue to pray for Nanis as she recovers from this one. Don't forget her family & friends as they anxiously await what happens.

Thank you for all of your awesome support! It is working unbelievable miracles so far!


10/10 Update:

The situation with Nanis even more critical. Things have been very hard, doctors having struggling to keep her going, her parents are destroyed ... things are looking worse than ever, according to her very good friend keeping us as updated as possible. The surgery to remove the clot from her brain has helped, but they had to lower the drugs dose, so now she is bleeding constantly but they can not up the dose for fear of more clots forming...either she bleeds out or her blood just coagulates.

They are trying to find a solution, 3 more doctors from the Houston team are arriving tomorrow morning to see what they can do for the case. They were talking about transferring her to Houston, but her situation right now makes it impossible.

Please pray for this entire situation, GLEEks! Nanis is in dire need again/still of our support, prayers, positive thoughts & healing energies. Her family & friends are in need of our strength for them right now. Please pray the doctors can do more to keep her around. I would like to put out there to pray really hard that the transfer to Houston becomes a reality. I miss the tweet conversations with her & this is not someone who deserves this! She is a beautiful & sweet spirit who has been fighting so hard the last few weeks!

Won't you join us in a worldwide prayer vigil for Nanis & her loved ones? They deserve nothing less.

Thank you...


10/17 Update:

OK, I know it's been a week, but I hadn't gotten any updates. That has NOT stopped me from praying for our friend everyday anyway! Hope you all have continued the #Pray4Nanis vigil, too. I believe many of you have because she is currently awake & talking! What a ride this has been for her, GLEEks! But she is still on this scary ride. Please do not stop praying for Nanis until the after the ride is over!

Thank you to everyone who has been praying for Nanis, her family, her friends, her doctors & medical staff. And if you haven't been praying but have been sending strengthening, positive & healing energy their way, too...it has been so appreciated.

And for those at http://community.livejournal.com/fake_lj_deaths (especially you, 289106), please note that I do know you are still keeping up with Nanis, and do truly hope this has actually been an inspiring story for you to follow. Because I know you keep checking.

Keep up the beautiful vigil for our sweet-spirited & strong-willed friend! Hope to bring you more good news soon!


10/18 Update:

Keep up those prayers, GLEEks! Just got word that, even though Nanis is still under close observation, she is receiving a few visitors, is awake & talking, and as long as she continues to do well, she may be moved OUT of ICU this week!! What a miracle!!

Keep praying hard & continue the #Pray4Nanis vigil & movement. The prayers, positive thoughts & healing energies are working wonders! Her family & friends are very happy & feel like they can start breathing a little easier, too!

So please continue to support Nanis with your prayers & thoughts, and always include her family, friends, doctors, nurses & medical staff that are there with her as well. This has been a tiring ordeal, and it seems to be looking up...make the miracle happen!
