Not a great deal to report. It's been a quiet weekend, Hannah has been stable. Still no sign of her kidneys functioning. The fluid from her drains seems to be lower and the dialysis fluid is not leaking as much as earlier.
The medicine for her BP seems to be working, but it is unsure at the moment whether it's enough to avoid surgery. They are unable to see clear enough on the normal ultrasound, exactly how much the valve is leaking & whether there is any damage to it. So Friday they were supposed to sedate her & pass a small ultrasound scanner down her eosophagus to get a better picture. (amazing what they can do!) However the only scanner of this type in the hospital was away for repair. So now we will have to wait until Monday at the earliest to get this done. While some may be frustrated at this & think "how can this be?", both Tom & I have a peace that this is God's plan & there is some reason for the delay. So we continue to trust God & His timing in it all.
With everything going so quietly here, we took Joshua to a large indoor playground yesterday and had a break from the hospital. He had a great time & it was good for Tom & I to have a little fun as well.
