sequel

Part 1 of the story is here.

We decided to visit my niece, her husband and baby Rebecca at Children’s Hospital this afternoon. This after I phoned my sister, who told me the little tyke is improving but she would be staying in Vancouver till Monday. Her platelets went as low as 10 Friday morning, followed by medication and a platelet transfusion after which they began to rise. Serial tests revealed results in the 50s, then 70s and finally over 100 (normal is 150 to 450). What an answer to prayer. Thank you Lord!!


We got to the hospital around 4:00. When the unit clerk called the kids out of the Intensive Care Nursery, they told us if we had arrived ten minutes later they would have been gone! It turns out the hospital needed the bed for someone who is sicker, but baby was so much improved they felt they could safely send her home. Since an air ambulance was flying up to Fort St. John this afternoon, the three of them got transportation home that way.

But we did get to see the kids and their little darling even if for only about 10 minutes. Doesn't she look absolutely adorable?
