Aaliyah has been taken to the hospital because of a high fever. We're not sure what's wrong with her, but she may be transferred to another hospital. Please pray for her. I'll update tomorrow with any news.
Update: Last night Aaliyah's temperature was 106* but it finally came down. However, the doctors/nurses still don't know what's wrong with her. She hadn't been eating and would scream every time she was put down. Her chest X-rays and urine and blood samples all came back fine. Although they had a hard time finding veins in her arm, so they drew blood from her forehead.
Aaron said the nurse tried 10 times to find a vein, despite how much pain she was causing Aaliyah. She also admitted to Aaron that they were supposed to stop after two tries. So they got some "specialist" to try and find a vein, and Aaliyah was screaming so much that Nikki went into the room to find out what was going on. The guy yelled at her to get the hell out of the room and walk further away from the room so she couldn't hear the screaming. Yeah, that sounds like great care to me.
Anyway, the temp is down and she's eating a little more, so that's good. That's as much info as I've received. Continued prayers would be appreciated.

I'm so sorry--I hope everything will be OK.
Yikes! I'm prayin'.
Oh my word.
Brings back memories of the day The Nephew was born. They couldn't find a vein on him; called in specialists; told his dad that he probably would want to step aside; and his dad was like "YAH RIGHT. This is my son I'm not leaving his side".
I will keep good thoughts going your way.
I'm praying for Aaliyah!
And maybe it will be a good thing if she is transfered to another hospital, being that the people working at the current hospital seem like they good use a little lesson in bedside manners!
Glad she's starting to eat a little.
I probably would have taken that guy apart limb from limb. Poor Nikki, she's in no condition to argue. I found out the hard way as well that any given person gets TWO stick at you and then you call the specialist--demand it.
Praying...
Oh my god. I can't imagine how scary that has been for Aaron and Nikki! I know how paranoid I get over the slightest sniffle...much less such a high temp. And it is almost unbearable to hear your baby cry when someone else has them.
Okay, so I'm catching up. Who is the non-gay Heath Ledger boy?
