God is Faithful and Super Gracious!
The LORD is faithful in all His words and kind in all His works! Ps 145:13 People all over the world have been praying for our daughter Hannah - from the Makua Bush, to China, to Brazil, elsewhere, and all over the U.S. Thank You! We are so grateful for each one of you who gave to Hannah while in the hospital. John and Carole Winter (Hannah's in-laws) have done a phenominal job taking care of theirs and our two grandchildren (Adonia and Creed), coordinating things for Hannah, keeping people updated... Amy Dickey accompanied Hannah through the myriad of things in the hospital... Melissa's sisters visited and her sister Amy stayed for days in Melissa's absence... Our church family are giving in so many ways... Flowers, cards, gifts, hugs, cheer, blessings, prayers... Thanks! We've just landed at KCI today. Several churches substantially gave toward getting us back and it has sufficiently covered our airfare and lodging costs. So, we send you a big warm hug and thanks! We've also now been blessed to see our granddaughter, Shiloh Heston, born while we were in Mozambique. The great news is - the doctors let Hannah out of the hospital yesterday! Her blood count went up to 9.7 yesterday (12-14 is normal). Yeah!!! Thank you Jesus! She has dialysis 3 days a week, where they'll also take blood samples to check her levels. She is still loosing a some blood and will probably need some transfusions. She has 20 different meds (about 40 pills) to take throughout the day. Five of them, alone, are treating blood pressure. We're so grateful she can be home again! Hannah has a special diet to minimize how much her kidneys have to process. For now, we'll be staying with them and helping her take care of herself and the family so that she can get her rest. Being the busy beaver Hannah normally is, we'll see how that goes. God bless you all, Daniel and Melissa with Elijah and Esther |
