Waking Up

The past three days Haddie has slept a lot. She would barely wake up in the mornings. She would stir a little in the afternoons and would catch up on eating a little bit in the evenings. We keep giving her antibiotics and waiting. She wasn't getting worse and there was no sign that this was anything other than her dealing with a UTI. A lot of people we talked to said they slept several days when they had theirs.

But today...she woke up! I went upstairs to say goodbye before work and she was wide eyed and looking around! She looks way better. Hoping this continues throughout the day!

I was very humbled yesterday. As many of you know, a great member of our church passed away yesterday morning. I had the privilege of going to the ER and being with the family right after he passed away. His wife's first words to me were "how's Haddie?" Mary, that meant a lot considering the moment that you were in. I cannot express how much all of your prayers and thoughts for Hadassah means to us when we go through moments like this.

Please pray for the Miller family.



(I asked Kate to send me a picture...looks like Haddie decided to close her eyes again!)

Infection

Well we have had several drama free and great months. But Haddie is in need of your prayers once again. She has been acting a bit sleepy this past week and yesterday was the worst. I could not get that girl to wake up and it was past noon. So we took her into  Camden Clark to do some tests. They ran her labs and it appears that she has a Urinary Tract Infection. So they gave us antibiotics to treat it.

This morning once again she is very sleepy and won't wake up to eat. We called the doctor and are awaiting a callback. We arent sure how a UTI would contribute to her being extremely sleepy two days in a row. Our biggest fear is that it may not be just a UTI but perhaps an even more complicated infection. But we don't know yet.

Thanks for praying for us. God is very good. We will keep you posted.
