We were a bit distracted with all the fun celebrating Joshua's birthday this morning. However, although our little princess got up acting like she felt great, we realized she felt quite warm and to the touch. Checked her temperature and found out she was running nearly 102 temp!! Immediately we got on the phone, and well...to sum it up we spent the rest of the day in the hospital. Kateli had low counts, low hemoglobin and low platelets counts. She had to have a blood transfusion, platelets transfusion, an antibiotic administered, and be admitted to the hospital for at least a one night stay. So, a year ago today we were in the hospital celebrating the arrival of our little guy. Today we were in the hospital concerned that our daughter gets to feeling better soon. God has his way of saying, "you have to remember what is important in life"...it's not a birthday celebration necessarily, it's remembering that we are a family and we stick together no matter the circumstances! Thank you Lord for being so wonderful and loving. Despite the circumstance, we praise Him for being a God who loves us and blesses us in ways that are beyond our measure and understanding.
Please pray for Kateli as she recovers from whatever her body is fighting right now.
Please pray for wisdom for the doctors, that they may figure out what might be causing the fevers
Please pray that her marrow catches up and generates the needed hemoglobin and platelets needed in her little body
Please pray for strength for us all as we wait for her to come home
Please pray for wisdom for us as parents, that we would make wise decisions in her care
Thank you!!
