She informed me that Golightly's mother wants her transferred from the hospital she's currently in to another one, one where the doctors are willing to fight for her daughter. I'm guessing as a doctor herself, she's not satisfied with what the doctors are saying for Golightly. This transfer to another hospital should happen today. And since Golightly will be under different care at the new hospital, this may change their plans of removing her from the ventilator, as was originally suggested.
Her friend encouraged me to make a visit to Golightly if I can, but honestly, I just don't think it's possible. Don't get me wrong, I would love to be there to offer my support and lay my hands on her to pray, but at the same time it's difficult to make the trip. Dallas is five to six hours from Pecos. Financially speaking, I cannot afford the trip, what with gas, meals, lodging. Also, with Lucero, it makes it tough for traveling. I'm still nursing her, so she has to be by my side throughout the day (she absolutely refuses a bottle now). And on top of all that, I'm a bit of a chicken. I know Golightly does not look remotely the same. As her friend put, it looks like she put on sixty pounds, due to swelling. I don't want to see her in that condition. Is it wrong? Am I making up a bunch of excuses?
This just in:
"Good news, she will be moved to baylor today!!!!
She will be moved today at 4:30pm. There is already a team in place waiting for her.
Keep your fingers crossed that the doctors there are able to help her!!!"
That's the latest. Please continue to pray.

Thank you so much for keeping us updated, I have been thinking and praying for her all day. I am so happy to hear promising news. And honestly, I don't know what I'd do in your situation (abt going to visit). I am really scared of things like that also.
I think I would go, but I am in a different situation than you are. You have a lot on your plate and it would probably be more beneficial for her to see friends when (not IF, WHEN) she is recovering than it would be now, anyway. I think you should just go with your gut.
Thank you so much for the update. I keep thinking about how much I want to go to her blog and see that she's updated it with the whole story, done in her great Golightly way. I hope it's soon.
So very heartbreaking. Thank you for keeping us posted. I am local but I only know Golightly through each other's blogs so she would never know who I was "in person". (And her family doesn't know me either...) She's in my prayers and thoughts.
Thanks for the updates. I don't know either of you but I've followed your adventures for years.
You were smart to decide not to visit now. There will come a time when you can help her by being there, and you will work out the logistics then.
I feel so bad for Golightly. She was on the top of her world, and one mistake has ruined it, temporarily.
I and others that I have told about this are praying for her.

I agree with everyone else about visiting. It's not feasible to hop in a car and drag a baby to the hospital. And if it's not your cup o' tea, well, it's just not. No one should blame you for something that's not your fault.
Prayer is incredibly powerful, and keeping everyone updated is a great thing also. You're doing what you can.
i found you via swishy ... i read golighty's blog all the time and it breaks my heart that she is going through this. she's supposed to be planning a wedding, not laying in a hospital bed. honestly, reading your updates made me nauceous ... i can't imagine what you, and her other friends and loved ones (including poor cowboy) are going through.
Thank God she is at Baylor. That is an excellent hospital. If you have an address there, maybe you can post it so we can all send cards. Even if she doesn't know they are there yet, when she wakes up she will certainly know how much she is loved and how much everyone is praying for her.
here from swishy. i am so sorry to read this news, but you have my prayers as well.
