Prayer again please..

January 18, 2007

Emma’s BMP (B-type natriuretic peptide) is very high, which is indicative of heart failure. The normal is 100 or less (its not unusual for Em to be in the 2-300’s in the last year) , Em’s is 759. We just redrew her blood to rule out human error- please pray that it is normal or at least a heck of alot lower when the results come back. New labs just came back- 609, waiting for Em’s transplant coordinator to call me back from Gainesville

Her CRP is also slightly high, which is indicative of an infection.

I’m going to go take a shower – the new test results should be back between 8-9 Eastern. Ill Update when I can.

Yet you, God, are sovereign still, always and ever sovereign.
-Psalms 102:11

It is so encouraging to be able to do something of significant value while blogging. I have linked you today on my blog–asking others to begin praying for Emma.

God Bless you. God Bless Emma with length of life and complete and permanent health.

Lord, please let everything be okay. In Jesus name I pray. Love and hugs

27 Tammy and Parker January 18, 2007 at 12:06 pm

Heather,

Parker’s BNP has been as high as 1700 and has they have been able to address the infection it has come back down. Parker has a BNP pulled each month.

Funny as it sounds it is kinda good that there is an infection which I am sure is why the BNP is up. The infection clears, and it WILL, and the BNP will come back down. It may be a slow process. It’s a nerve wracking roller coaster, but you have such amazing people praying for you.

You and Emma are so incredibly loved.

28 Shalee January 18, 2007 at 12:11 pm

Praying right now.

29 Shayna January 18, 2007 at 12:15 pm

the boys and I prayed for Emma last night, and we will continue to pray for a good report!!
You are so positive and strong, I wish I could be there with you, let me know if you need anything at all.
