Dear Friends,

Daniel, Hannah's husband, just called me with an update. The doctors came in this morning and told them that Hannah's kidney's have been getting worse. I've been wondering if this was the case since she seems to have been getting more and more swollen. Her kidneys are now only functioning at 10%, and their guess is that she has about 30 lbs of extra fluid on her body.

They just started her on Dialysis. Please continue to pray.

Please pray that her Lupus "calms down" so that it stops attacking her blood. This is the main reason they're having to keep her in the hospital, because her blood count keeps going down so fast that they have to keep doing transfusions.

Thank you - every single one of you - for praying. Even as things seem to be getting worse, we continue to look to our Mighty God for help - He is so worthy of our praise!

Just one last note about visitors. At the moment Hannah is very weak and tired. If you are wanting to visit, please call Daniel or text Hannah at least an hour before hand to make sure they're up to visitors. Also, please do your best to keep your visit short (around 10 minutes)...Hannah loves people and its hard for her to ask her visitors to leave, so let's keep it short and sweet. :) We want to make sure that Hannah gets plenty of rest so that she has energy when her children come to visit in the evenings. Thanks so much for honoring us in this way!

Much love to you all,

Chloe (Hannah's sister)
