Possible Surgery Today...Please Read & Pray

They found out that Haddie has a UTI that was giving her problems. They started medications and that seemed to be clearing things up. Kate, however, felt the top of Haddie's head last night before she left and noticed that her fontanel was harder than before. The fontanel is the soft spot that if we feel it can tell us if theres any extra pressure in Haddies brain. 

The nurse practitioner noted it and said she would bring it up in rounds this morning. Over night Kate got a call that Haddie's heart had stopped for a few seconds again and then came back up. Her breathing stayed at 100% and so did her saturation level but her heart went to 0. Kate had also pointed out to the nurses that Haddie's heart rate was unusually low yesterday. 

This has prompted them to believe that there could be more pressure on the part of the brain that controls the heart. They just intubated Hadassah and the neurosurgeons are looking into it. It may require them to go in and place another shunt in the location of the ventricle that controls the heart. Or they may have to pull her current shunt again if they find anything wrong with it.

Either way, it's looking like we have another surgery at some point today. Please pray for us and Haddie. 

I really want to complain and whine right now and say this isn't fair for Haddie. But that would be pointless. The world stinks sometimes and that's not God's fault. There is a God. We asked Him and you asked Him to heal our little girl. And maybe this is His way to get that accomplished. We have no where else to turn but to Him...so we will suck it up and trust His plan...whatever it may be. God is good. 

I will update either this blog post or a make a new one later on today at some point. Love you all.
