Update...

I thought I'd update you all on how we're doing. We've hit another rough patch. We were discharged from the hospital Monday afternoon. Hannah quickly became lethargic and wasn't eating well. By Tuesday evening, she had a fever and we were sent to Urgent Care. They sent us to the ER and she endured a lot of tests (2 IVs, catheter and lumbar tap). We were in the ER until 2:30 am. All initial results came back normal but the doctor was in agreement with our concern about her lethargy - Hannah went through all of those tests with barely a cry. She just doesn't fuss about anything and couldn't be woken up enough to eat. So she was admitted to St John's pediatric ICU at 2:30 this morning. She's been given more antibiotics and is being fed supplements through IV. She had a fever all through today but tonight it seems to have dropped a bit. The doctor is still unsure of the reason for Hannah's fever and lethargic behavior. He believes it's either an unknown infection or unknown virus and the lethargy may be due to the pain meds I was given for the C Section.

Hannah is still difficult to wake and hasn't been breastfeeding. She has been eating some pumped milk today in a pediatric bottle. We're hoping that the antibiotics make her stronger. Her doctor will discharge her when he feels certain that she's healthy, breastfeeding regularly and we'll have a good start on life at home. He didn't expect her to come back so soon and doesn't want to make the same mistake again.

Sooooo please keep Hannah in your prayers. We hope to get well and go home Soon! Also pray for Madeline - this complication makes her adjustment to the addition of a new sister more complex. Chris and I are trying to be sure that we spend great quality time with Madeline while someone is always with Hannah.

With love and hopefulness for Hannah's health, Jen
