Back to the hospital

Hello Friends,

Please pray for Hannah. She went in for her first dialysis treatment since leaving the hospital at a dialysis clinic in Leavenworth. The dialysis went really rough...Hannah felt terrible the whole time and just thought it was the dialysis, but as soon as the dialysis was finished, she still felt terrible (tingling through her whole body, bad headache, extremely weak, etc.) This really concerned her and those who gave the dialysis, but the nurses didn't know what to do, so told her to go into the ER at Olathe Medical (where she had been staying before).

She, Daniel and our parents (just back from Africa) went in to the ER this evening. They found that Hannah has a Urinary Tract Infection (because of the dialysis).When Hannah had previously been in the hospital, the doctors had not wanted to see her blood count go below 8. This evening Hannah's blood count had dropped to 7.4, so she had been readmitted to the hospital. She is going to be getting another transfusion either tonight or tomorrow and put on an antibiotic for the UTI. They are also still waiting on the results of the CAT scan they did because of her headache.

Even though this is somewhat discouraging, Hannah was very blessed because she was able to have her former hospital room (the only room on the floor with just one bed in it so that she doesn't have to share the room with another patient). This also means that she has the nurses that she already knows.

We're not sure how long Hannah will have to be in the hospital. I'm guessing that it will depend on her blood count going back up.

Will update you as soon as we know more. Thank you so much for praying!
