Barron Back in the Hospital

Well today was a bit of a set back. Barron woke up from a nap with horrible chills and fever, by the time I got him to the hospital his heart rate was 149. It was very scary as we went through a few hours of testing to determine what was the cause. In the end it seems as though Barron has a cyst in his pancreas that has broke and is leaking enzymes. These cysts are caused by multiple pancreas attacks. Because of Barron's hereditary condition, he has suffered from about a dozen attacks in the past 15 years. Treatment at this point is to use IV fluids to try and flush the enzymes out of his body before they begin to wreak havoc on the rest of his organs. He was admitted into the hospital and will remain under close observation for the next few days. He is once again suffering from a lot of pain. Please pray for his speedy recovery and for no further complications.

Please also pray for clear direction, and peace. I am so overwhelmed by all the thoughts and emotions. It kills me to see Barron hurting once again, both of our spirits really need lifting. This should be the happiest time of our adoption journey and we are miserable. I want Barron and the kids to be able to travel with me and bring home Olivia. I can't imagine Barron missing out on China again.

Our saving grace is our faith and the continued loving support of our family and friends. I really don't know how we could get through this any other way. We hang on to the promises God has laid before us, knowing that His loving arms surround this family and somehow He will pull us through. We need a miracle, please pray that by Tuesday Nov. 1st, the day we have to make our final travel plans, that Barron will be healed.
