Saturday Update

It still looks like Shannan will get to come home sometime today, but her blood pressure and creatinine are back up again. What this means is that the Nephrologist is not going to release her until she has had another dialysis treatment at the hospital. Depending on when this happens and the result, she could be coming home this evening or late tonight (probably late), or perhaps tomorrow morning. Shannan has already chosen a nearby location for outpatient dialysis for as long as it's necessary once she comes home. The Dr. has not actually written the discharge orders yet; we think he is waiting to see the results of the dialysis.

I don't know any more details at this point other than the things we've already mentioned; such as continuing to need to rely heavily on your assistance and prayers. We are out of the "worst" part now, but there is a long process of healing ahead, and Shannan will not be able to do much for a while yet. Stay tuned for further information on how your continued support will need to change.
We appreciate greatly everything everyone has done; no matter how small it has seemed to you, it has been huge for us. We know God is blessed as well as we are by your generosity, love and care for us. May God multiply the blessings you have given us back to you many times. We love you all.
