A Flicker of Hope

Well as you can see from the previous post, we started today very down in spirits. The dialysis wasn't working cause it was just leaking out everywhere & her blood results & vitals were starting to go all out of whack. Thankfully they decided to finally do something about the dialysis & after trying a few different simple fix ideas without success, they went into her chest again. There they found the souce of the leak was around where the pacemaker electrodes were attached (it's there just "in case" & up til now hasn't needed it). So they fixed these & inserted a new dialysis catheter & things started to pick up. They dialysis started to remove some of the excess fluid & her blood results started to come back to normal. We breathed a huge sigh of relief & went to bed hopeful that all would be ok. It's hard to get my hopes up too much though as everytime we seem to take a step forward something else goes wrong & we go 2 steps back, so part of me is just waiting for the next set back. But we continue to pray & trust that God is in control & His purpose is being forfilled. I had the thought the other day that even if Hannah doesn't make it, perhaps God's purpose was to have us her to talk to certain people. We had a couple of good chats with the nurses looking after Hannah today in regards to our beliefs & church etc. We have also seen God working in the lives of some of our friends & aquaintances through our situation.
