It is weeks like these that remind me how fragile Hannah can be when it comes to illness. Hannah has had the stomach flu for 6 days. Because she already has stomach issues this was a hit to her system. She has been sick for so many days and lost so much in the way of fluids that yesterday she had to endure a battery of test, blood draws and x-rays to make sure we are not missing something. The test came back "OK" but Hannah was on a really close watch today. This afternoon Hannah would not stop crying, I realized that she was no longer making tears.. this was a bad sign since it had already been two days since a wet diaper.. ( only diarrhea) I got a hold of her doctor and quickly took her to the ER for rapid fluids through IV. I was able to take her home after 4 hours in the ER, but only because at the end of the IV she finally went potty in her diaper. I am so grateful we are home tonight and she and I get to sleep in our beds. The doctor left instructions that I am to call in the morning and report on how she is doing.
I am asking for prayers. I pray that the lord can help our family through this and that Hannah will recover now that she has had fluids put back into her. I pray that Trent and I can find patience for each other and our children as we are very sleep deprived and worried for Hannah. I hope that Hannah's recovery is quick and that it is full. I want to see my little ray of sun running around and getting into things again. I hope that again, our children understand we love them all this much but are just worried about Hannah.
I will keep you all updated. I know she will get better and I just hope it is sooner rather than later.
Thank you
Karen
