3/18/05 - Hannah remains in isolation due to this VRE. There have been a couple other cases in the hospital therefore Hannah is not allowed ANY visitors. Hannah had an ultrasound today. The doctors are trying to determine why her blood counts have not yet started to rise as they should. It is a possibility that they are collecting in her spleen. She continues to have platelet transfusions every 24 hours and whole blood every 3 days. The doctors have decided that if her levels do not start to rise by Tuesday they will do a test on her bone marrow and then decide if they need to remove her spleen. It looks like Hannah will be in isolation for the next while. It is unsure how long she will not be allowed visitors. Hannah has been moved to a new room. It is a larger room with 2 beds (one for her and one for Mommy). She also has lots of room to play and walk around. We are still waiting for the results to see if Emily is a match to be Hannah's bone marrow donor. Let's all keep praying that her little sister will be her little miracle.
