Here in ICU

Hannah has been resting on & off .... right now she is sleeping with the morphine release button in her hand.

We met with the GI Specialist & it was shocking to hear him discuss with us the severity of this complication. They are going to do a CT Scan with contrast this evening to try to see more of what is going on inside of Hannah's intestines. The doctor spoke very frankly with us that Hannah's situation is very, very, very serious. I don't remember if he used the words "life threatening" but that is what he was talking about. I honestly can't believe this after the good week we have just had. I asked the dr. if I missed some sign of Hannah's complication & he said no way. Her body isn't presenting signs of infection like it normally would. Normally she'd have a fever from something like this but because her body is so immuno-suppressed she doesn't show signs of illness the same way she normally would. She hasn't even had a fever and here we are sitting in ICU being told how sick she is!?!!

I just got off the phone with my sisters & was reminded to just take one step at a time. The Lord is the lamp unto my feet -- for today & for this step right here, right now. Thank you, Lord, that you are faithful ... even when nothing is making sense.
