Update on Shannan - Friday, Oct. 2

This morning Shannan is still in ICU.

Last night, they had to perform Kidney Dialysis. Dr.'s will possibly have to do it again today.

Her blood pressure/hyper tension are still very high. Dr.'s are taking her off more meds than they are giving her which is good.

Her red blood cells are depleting faster than they are regenerating. She has been given 5 units of blood so far and will need to do a blood treatment this afternoon.

She will not be moved from ICU until they can regain control of these things. Tim brought her coffee this morning, which they hoped would help the major headaches.

Dr.'s have warned this will be a long haul. Recovery time will not happen quickly. But let's pray that it does.

Prayers right now:
**Tim looks exhausted. He was up with her at the hospital until late and up with the baby as well. Pray for strength, ability to rest, and a way to release all the emotions he has.

**Darby misses her mom. I was over there this morning and she kept asking when mom was going to be home. (I almost burst into tears) Pray for an obedient heart, comfort, and joy.

**Help for caretaking. Tim has been required to leave at a moments notice to speak with Dr.'s which means someone has to be there for the baby and Darby. I'll be setting up a post for people to fill in over the next 3 days until we get a better understanding of when Shannan is going to be home.

**more breastmilk to come in to feed baby.

NEEDS:
Coffee Cards. Tim is taking it to Shannan and he needs some himself. If you are at Starbuck's or Coffee's On and think about it, pick one up.

Bread and lunch meats for caretakers there during the day.
