We got a phone call at 6am this morning to inform us that Hannah's operation had been cancelled for today due to her having an elevated lactic acid level. While many would be upset & frustrated by this, (& believe me the dr's & nurses were!), we are quite calm & accepting of it. Why? Well you see every night when I have to get up at 3am to express milk I use the time to pray for Hannah & the other children whose medical stories I have been following. Last night I ask God that if today was not the right time for her to have the op that He would cause it to be delayed. So we believe that this was God's answer to that prayer & His hand in this situation. Another thing I prayed for was that the doctors involved in Hannah's op would have had a good nights sleep & be fresh, then when we came up to then ward this morning & met the anethatist that was to be doing the op, he had been on duty last night & he was looking quite tired. So again this was an answer to prayer. <br>

Hannah has been sedated again & given extra fluid & blood & she seems to have stabilised again. They are unsure of what caused the rise in lactid acid as she is well in all other areas, there is no infection & her heart looks the same as it has (no greater leaking from the valve or reduction in function). So now all going well she is scheduled for surgery Thursday. <br>

As Tom's parents had come up to take care of Joshua & Hannah was to have a quiet day, we decided to have an early lunch & then headed to Randers Regnskov for the afternoon. Due to it being a very wet day, it was very crowded, but we still enjoyed seeing the exotic animals & getting away from the hospital for a bit.
