This is an update the night after Tala was hospitalized diagnosed with diabetes and Takai was also admitted to the hospital. It's inbetween my 4th & 5th treatments.
Tala's sugar count was 895, well beyond 'safe'. It is a miracle that she was still with us. Although, she was pretty out of it, she was conscious the whole time. Medically, it was amazing by the staff that treated her.
Needless to say, I was quite weak upon hearing, 5 hours after admitting Tala, that Takai was being rushed by ambulance with my Mom because of breathing issues. Seriously, I think I literally went on auto pilot. Once Takai got there, it was endless test to see what the issue was. He ended having an odd swelling in his throat that need surgery.
Knowing that 2 of my children were fighting for their lives in 2 seperate places was beyond what I thought I could handle. Thankfully, I'm not the One in charge.:) God is good and He continues to amaze me with each turn of events. The enemy continues to try and strike me down. And even when I am weak, my Jesus is strong. Thank goodness. Because I have never felt so weak. Literally. In every capacity. Physically, emotionally and spiritually.
I AM in the palm of His hand.
Family & Friends
Wow!! What a wild past few days it has been...and it's not over yet. But I wanted to take a quick moment to thank you all for you prayers and support. All of this has been overwhelming to say the least. But it has been made a little easier to bare with the help so many of you have given.
Both kids are doing good. Takai had a small surgical procedure done yesterday to get rid of the growth on the inside of his throat. He cannot be released until they figure out what it was. Lots of test are being done on it, but he is doing wonderfully. Eating, sleeping, breathing, and just so happy. He's like a new baby. Tala has stabilize and just an hour ago was taken off all of her IVs. She began taking shots this evening, which are not fun. But they need to happen in order for her to go home.
Things we will need prayer on:
*Tala to come to terms with such a BIG thing in her life
*Tala to be able to handle her shots well....they are not fun for any of us....so extra hard for a child
*Shannon to come to terms with her little girl having to go through this....only mother's understand a mother's heart *Roy to come to terms too....only fathers can understand his helplessness as a father who want's to protect his little girl.
*Shannon's immune system to stay healthy while being stressed, tired and in the hospital environment
*Takai to continue to thrive and go home on Monday
*Torryn to be okay as things are CRAZY at home and he's having to go without mommy all day long for days
*Grandma & Roy as they are the one's doing night duty at the hospital and not getting much sleep
*Great Grandma for her willingness to do whatever and go where ever she's need.....very tiring keeping up with our family's excitement
*The Mantia's (my sister & family) to stay strong and healthy as they watch and play with Torryn and still do all the extra's that I need them to do...basically putting their lives on hold for us
LOTS TO PRAY FOR...that's why we need you:)
Thank you so much LeeAnn, Gale, Julie and Jen for all your extra time you are giving to my family....there really are no words....only tears of thankfulness as I think of each of you!!
All that said and done....I want to leave you with some encouragement....
**Don't forget that Takai's birth was a miracle....he and I should not have survived my ruptured uterus
**Tala's still being with us is a miracle.....she was so bad off that she should have at least been in a coma if not worse
**Takai could have gotten so obstructed and could have stopped breathing at anytime....another miracle
Believe in miracles....I DO!!!
The questioned I'm pondering so often right now is "Why am I the privileged one to be a part of so many of these miracles?" Hebrews 13:5 says "Never will I leave you, never will I forsake you." He keeps proving this to me. Please be encouraged by our miracles....maybe one is waiting around the corner for you.....watch carefully or you might miss it.:)
Things will continue to be busy for a while. But I love hearing from you. Please know that your emails, cards, calls, etc. are always an encouragement for me.
With Peace, Shannon
