Port Getting Removed!

I am very tired so I will keep this short ...

Hannah checks into Kaiser Fontana tomorrow morning to get possible transfusions & then have surgery on Monday afternoon for her port to be removed & a different line placed (either a PICC line or a Hickman ... not sure until tomorrow). Hopefully our trip to Kaiser will be just over 24 hours & then back home!

Just pray, please. Pray all would go well with her IV being done tomorrow (since her port is not being accessed anymore) & that the surgery would go smoothly on Monday.

Hannah's port has caused such major issues that it will be a relief to be done with it. I want to see that thing -- Hannah is going to request it being put in a jar. Won't that look great on the shelf in her room? Not!

Thanks for all the love & support --

Debbie

  2. Debbie,
    My pastor suffered from aplastic anemia when he was a young child and he has a shadow box filled with all the things they used on him during his illness to remind him of all that the Lord has delivered him from. He says it's a great reminder of where he has been and if ever he doubts God or is struggling with something, the box is there to remind him to trust in the Lord and never doubt. So Hannah's desire to want to keep her port is a survivors attitude!! She is so wise at her young age, what a gem you have. Your daughters are so beautiful, it is great to see pictures of you all doing normal family stuff!! I continue to pray for your family and especially Hannah. Count it all Joy!!
