Update on Hannah

Hannah had further tests and the blood in her urine has cleared up. So that was probably just due to the inflammation. This whole time the baby has been unaffected. Everything is just fine with baby boy Hoy. She is now scheduled to see a urologist on Thursday. In the past, she had a stint put in to her ureter to keep the left kidney draining to the bladder. That stint was removed at a later point. So maybe a stint will have to be placed back in. Of course that is my take on it. But I am not a doctor. Until we find out more, keep Hannah and the baby in your prayers. She is doing fine and continues to work her normal hours.

Prayer for Hannah

After Jason's birthday party on this past Monday, Hannah and Jake went to the hospital since Hannah had been experiencing side aches all evening. The doctor diagnosed her with hydronephrosis, which is swelling of the kidney(s). Hannah has had several problems with one of her kidneys years ago with a snowboarding accident and then in 2006 when she had a blocked ureter (drain tube from the kidney to bladder). So we don't know if any of this is related. Or if there is a connection of where the baby is at and if there is pressure on Hannah's kidney/ureter. She has a doctor's appointment on Monday, Feb 14th and will find out more. Pray that we understand the cause and fully know the implications on the baby. At the hospital, the baby was monitored and is doing just great. Hannah was in some pain and given something for that. Since then, she been feeling better with some discomfort. But the biggest thing is that they did find blood in her urine. So there is real concern here. If anyone has had similar experiences or know of others that have, let us know. Thanks. I thought I would include the recent ultrasound 3D images of Jake and Hannah's baby boy. He is 20 weeks in these photos. He weighs 10.5 ounces here.
