[Newman-l] FW: Ava Needs our thoughts

Tue May 31 22:53:34 EDT 2011

Hey guys. This past winter an organization I'm in, APhiO, put on a faculty pageant to raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.  Ava, a patient from the hospital was present at our fundraiser where her family spoke about the hospital and Ava's disorder.
I just received this email that I forwared from Eric, one of our execs. I just ask that you keep Ava in your prayers right now.  She is really struggling and has come so far. She's the cutest little girl ever. I attached a picture as well.
Thanks everyone!

Hello Brothers,
    I just wanted to inform you that Ava and the Nichols needs our thoughts and prayers these coming weeks. She has been a Nationwide Childrens Hospital for a week or two now, and she is apparently in pain because of causes unknown to the Doctors. Here is Ava's moms last fb post :

We have been dealing with a dilema w/Ava's heartrate & even the doctors are puzzled. We have done numerous tests & have ruled out problems w/her port, silent seizures and hidden bloodclots in her neck. Unfortunately it appears that the problem is making her hurt & we havent found any anything to help. Everything just seems to sedate her, which we dont want to do. 2morrow we do another swallow study. Thx & God bless

The Nichols family was so kinds to come and speak at the faculty pageant and Ava is the strongest little girl. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts. Feel free to tag my profile pic of Ava and make it yours.

Good job seniors, you will be missed

Eric Horton
