A Vast Army



Hannah's platelets have become critically low again... ugh.  The problem we are facing now is the insurance company.  On Monday our doctor began the process of having Hannah's next transfusion of IVIG preauthorized (her doctor knew by the trend, earlier in the week, her platelets were likely to bottom out by the end of this week) but the coverage still hasn't come through.  To obtain 1 dose of IVIG it takes over 1,000 blood donors.... it's not cheap and so now we wait.
I can't even begin to describe how frustrating it is to know that your child can't receive the treatment an expert is recommending until someone behind a desk with no medical experience finishes filling out all of the right papers.  Unbelievable.  

Now we pray for Hannah's safety over the weekend as any injury, especially head, could cause internal bleeding that would open the door to a place we just don't want to go.
Seriously. So. Frustrating.

"We have no power to face this vast army that is attacking us.  
We do not know what to do, but our eyes are on You." 
Chronicles 20:12 verse 2
