Prayers Needed Now During CT Scan

Jo mentioned posting here today so I've been waiting to post an update, but I know she's very busy and preoccupied. I talked to Jo earlier this morning and she sent a quick email at noon, and I just heard from our friend, Angela. Here's what I know at this time:

Angela called to say they weren't able to get her off of the bypass, but they took her down for the CT just a half hour or so ago with all the equipment. The big prayer request is of course for a positive CT scan result and also for Tony and Jo as they receive those results.

Apparently they perforated a vein when they pulled out one of the lines, so please pray for that. I'm not exactly sure what that could mean.

Anna was taken off of her seizure medicine this morning, so pray that she doesn't have any seizures.

One possible problem was averted early this morning when they found a clot in her bypass tubes and Anna remained stable while they changed all the tubing.

Thanks again and hopefully Jo will be able to post later today with some news.

Tony and Jo,
I know that you don't know me, but know that I am praying for Anna. I've seen her name crop up in several places on China adoption boards and some of my emails from other china adoptive parents, so Anna's situation is out there in our community being lifted in prayer....and many are praying. Hang in there, He will give you all that you need....

Praying, praying hard.......

Love to you all,
Liesl

Praying that you may feel God's comfort and may feel His embrace as you walk through these difficult times. Praising Him for His unconditional love which has been lavished on Anna through her family.

In Him,
Beth

Thanks for keeping us updated. The "Prayer Wagons" continue to circle up way up here in Virginia. We know that God is a gracious god and His merciful hands are in this.

Anna, you are precious from the tip of your beautiful hair right down to your tiny pink toes!

Jo, Tony, and Grace our hearts and prayers are with you. Be strong in the Lord and He will continue to renew you AND ANNA!

Tickle Anna's toes for us! Love you all!

Jo and Tony,
You and Anna have been constantly in my prayers since your first email. I feel so helpless and far away from you. I want desperately to do something to help. I will continue to pray.

The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.
Psalm 34:18

Love,
Michelle W.

Tony, Jo and Grace,
We live in England and are with AWAA. We heard about Anna through Leslie and the AWAA yahoo group. We have been deeply moved by all that you are going through and are crying out to the Lord on your behalf. We pray that He will be glorified through this. We ask humbly for God's healing upon Anna. She is so beautiful.

Nahum 1:7 "The Lord is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble and He knows those who trust in Him"

Heard your story on the Rumor Queen forums. We are so sorry to hear of Anna's passing. We will be praying for you all as you walk through these hard days. May you experience His comfort and peace and rest in knowing that she experienced joy and love in your arms, even if it was for such a short time. Again we are so sorry for your loss.

I heard of your lose through someone else's blog and I grieved for you. Know that even though you had her for such a short time, you had an empact on her life. Now, lean on God and find the comfort you need from Him, and the friends and family that lift you up daily in prayer.

Please convey my family's deepest sympathies to Anna's family. As adoptive parents to our own heart baby, what they have gone through is unimaginable.

Our deepest sympathy, prayers and thoughts are with Anna's Mama, Dada and big sister.

God bless you all,
