Hannah's going home!!!

Hello friends!

I want to share some exciting news with you all! Hannah gets to go home this afternoon!!!!

The doctors have been monitoring Hannah's blood count the past couple days. The numbers have continued to rise (this morning was something like 9.2), so she finally gets to leave the hospital!

As you can imagine Hannah is very, very thrilled about this news. Our family is flying in from Africa tomorrow, so this is perfect timing as Hannah will need lots of help once she's back home.

I know that Hannah is going to have to continue going in for dialysis treatments three times a week (Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday) but at this point in time I'm not sure how long she'll have to do that. We will keep you updated on this.

Please pray for Hannah's transition back to home:

-that her blood count keeps going up, and stays up

-that her kidneys continue to mend

-that God gives us wisdom in how to best address Hannah's Lupus and Lyme's disease

-that the home is filled with peace and grace as Hannah transitions back into being a full time mommy again

-that Hannah doesn't get overwhelmed with all the medications she will be taking, but that she is able to understand and know how to take each one

One of the other main areas you can pray is about Hannah's diet. We talked a little with the dietician yesterday, and it looks like Hannah is going to have to be on a pretty strict diet. My Mom will probably be the main one figuring this out and cooking for Hannah, so please pray for her. Also, for those of you who have dealt with kidney failure diets, we would so appreciate some good recipes or meal ideas (you can send those to me – please understand if I can't respond to your messages).

Thanks so much to all of you who have personally messaged me, sharing your care and concern for Hannah. I'm so sorry if I'm not able to respond right now...please know that we SO appreciate you taking the time to express your love. I daily call Hannah to share all of your sweet notes with her. :)

Isn't this all so amazing!? Our God is mighty!

Rejoicing,

Chloe
