I know there are many people who love Nikki and check this blog often so I wanted to take the time to update you this morning. Nikki is having chest pain and we needed to increase her pain medication throughout the night. Nikki's breathing is very labored, her blood pressure is down as well as her temperature and her heart rate is high. A Hospice nurse will be coming sometime this morning and we are hoping she able to give us a better idea of where Nikki is at.
Brian doesn't leave Nikki's side and is spending every moment taking care of her and cherishing her. Nikki is so sharp, she continues to boss us around with orders. Of course we are happy to accommodate her every wish. Nikki's parents Joann and Doug and sister Becky have also been by her side taking care of her and sharing special memories.
I will continue to keep you updated as much as possible.

Nikki,
You and I have been friends since we were about 6 years old. We have shared so many good times, Girl Scouts, dancing, Pool 4, school and our family Christmas parties....the list goes on and on!
I know we weren’t close as adults, but you and your family have always been close to my heart.
I remember when we would have sleep overs and we would dress and choreograph dances in the living room..."When Doves Cry" :-) or when we camped out in the tent in your backyard. You have always been there for any and all big occasions in my life. I have always valued our friendship. You have always been such a strong beautiful woman.
My favorite pictures of us are when we put on our holy jeans and our holy white tops and handcuffed ourselves together, and when we were just sitting on the picnic table...with such attitudes! Those were such care free fu times.
To my dearest and oldest friend I love you and you will always be in my heart. I am thankful that you have the most loving husband. Brian has been such a Godsend.
You, Brian and the whole family are in Kyrah's and my prayers. God and your Guardian Angels are always with you.
Love you forever,
Kimberley
Nikki,
I admire the strength and courage that you have shown over the last two years. You are a special woman.
It is clear to see that you and Brian were made for each other and that you love each other very much. I am glad you have shared many wonderful experiences during your life together. I have your picture from Hawaii posted on my refrigerator so I can see your smiling faces. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love to both of you,
Betty Bucci
Hi Nikki !
We haven't seen each other since my last day at ORTC last October. Nor did we interact very much well at work, but I wanted you to know that I've been praying for you. I also learned that we have a mutual friend, my best friend Henrietta Jaime. I know she loves you dearly and has sown many liquid prayers for you. May the Lord clothe you and Brian with his love and presence today and always!

Sent a note today but got it under the wrong day. Refer to "Tues. Night Very Late" comments. It is the last one.

Hi Nikki and Brian,
I just wanted to say you are in my thoughts and prayers, I know that God is watching over both of you.
I didn't interact to much with you at ortc but when ever you would come into the Northvalley office you would brighten up the day with that beautiful smile.
Thank You for that and know that you are loved very much!

Nikki,
I have not seen you since I left ORTC back in 2005, but I still remember your beautiful smile! My prayers are with you and your family, and just know that God has his arms around you. I have not had the pleasure to meet your husband Brian, but he sounds godsend, and you are blessed to have one another.
You are in my heart and prayers.
Love,
Kimberly
Nikki,
I am amazed but not surprised by your strength and courage. From reading everyone's comments you are truly a special person who touched a lot of people lives. God bless you and your family.

Hello again!
I messed up on my note to you. There is one word too many in the second sentence: 'well' shouldn't be there.
Psalms 139:1-18
God's Blessings, Ana Castro
Hi Nikki. I just heard the news of your health from my sister, who sent me the link to your blog... I was happy to see that you had wonderful Christian artists playing. May you know how much God loves you and your family in the midst of this difficult time, trusting Romans 8:28- "we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose." I will be praying for you and your family. May you and Brian hold onto God's promises. God bless.
With love,
Karyn Woertman Russell
Nikki Girl,
I tell Theresa all the time how much I admire your strength. The fight that you have willed is beyond words. I am thinking of you and praying for you always. You have made a great impact on my life, just by the person you are. I know that family is most important by your side now. That's why I am sending my hugs through T. I hope she is relaying my messages!!! Keep smiling girrrl!!!!
Love,
Christina (Chris)
Hi Nikki and Brian - I'm so glad you have this blog. There are so many people praying for you and trying to send their strength thru it. I would have posted a comment sooner but I didn't have Nikki to show me how to do it! I told you a while ago Nikki how amazing a woman I think you are and how much I admire you. No matter the trials you always have a smile, your bright eyes and an upbeat attitude. You bring strength to all around you. We keep you in our thoughts and prayers every day. Brian, you and Nikki are truly godsends for each other as this time is difficult for both. Feel our hugs for you both. God Bless. Linda Johnston
