Update





Hannah is slowly but surely getting back to "normal." She has not been scoped, so we do not know the status of her trachea tissue, but there have been no new bleeding events.

She is not sedated right now, but resting comfortably and hopefully doing a lot of healing. She is on full feedings and breathing with pressure from CPAP. We hope they will consider doing trials off of the CPAP soon.

We don't know how much longer she will be in the NICU. I guess there will just come a point where we are all comfortable with her coming home, but that is not now.

Thank you for lifting us up in prayer this weekend. Our Hope endures even in these trials.

  3. Thanks for the new update. So glad Hannah seems to be resting peacefully. What a scary, trying weekend. My prayers continue to be with each of you - your precious little girls, your wonderful boys, and the faithful, loving, amazing parents who care for them. Also the grandparents and other family and friends who love you and help in ways that they can.

  14. We are praying for endurance for you both.

    Lam 3:21-23
    Yet this I call to mind and therefore I have hope: Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
