Susanna update - Mon

Posted in Susanna updates

I took Susanna in to our family doctor's office yesterday, per the request by Children's.  They were able to get the urine sample by taping this little bag directly to her body.  The first time, the potty went everywhere.  The second time, the bag worked.  They are checking for blood and protein in the urine.  They weighed her and I am delighted to say that she's now up to 11lb12.5oz, so still growing, although slowly!  The nurse who took her blood pressure had not taken the blood pressure on an infant since nursing school and according to her findings, her blood pressure in her arm is a little high and her leg blood pressure is dangerously low.  I highly doubt the accuracy of the numbers.  However, the same pattern of her leg blood pressure being lower than her arm blood pressure was found as was seen at Children's last week and that is the opposite of what is normal.  The next step is going back to Children's on 4/21.  My husband's mother will be flying in to watch the children while we're gone.  That's such a huge blessing!  Thank you to all of you who are praying for us and encouraging us during this time!

Love, Dawn

In the future you should request that the dr take the bp! What good does it do to take it if you can't depend on the readings?! So glad that you've got someone to watch the kids so you can concentrate on Susanna. Know I'm praying so!

Cincinnati is a busy place-you're the second friend I have that will be there on Friday! They have been a blessing to our family with Garrett's rare disease and I know that they are one of the best places to visit with a child in need of medical help..My prayers are constantly for you and know I think of you often throughout the day..As I was hanging out my laundry on this cool day here, I prayed for the Lord's blessings to be in abundance for you and that He would lead you to the right home for your family, to the doctors who will be of most help to precious Susanna, and for Him to provide the love and support of friends and family to you.
Much love and many prayers,
Lynne

My family and I will be praying. Do you know exactly what time you will be seeing the Dr. Friday? If you do and you will let us know we will have special prayer at that time. God bless your family. Traci

Dawn, Susan let us (at CCW) know you'd posted about Susannah on the MOMYS list and directed us here. I'm so sorry to hear about Susannah's health issues! We are praying for you.
