Second IVIG infusion tomorrow

Tomorrow will be a new experience for us. Annabelle's infusion will take place in the infusion clinic (at the hospital) instead in the actual hospital. The clinic is only open from 8:00 to 5:00 - so this part sounds good. The bad part is that we don't have a room with a crib for her. Instead, it is one large room with recliners and curtains separating each one. I am not quite sure how this will work with an active toddler who will need a nap sometime during the afternoon. Also, I am a little concerned with the exposure she will have to others in her immuno-suppressed state. Well, these are more opportunities to practice trusting my Savior's sovereign control over her life. I wish that was easier.

Please pray:
- that her port will work properly and not cause her extra trauma.
- that she will be protected from the germs she is exposed to at the clinic.
- for me as Peter is planning to go to work after we get started with the infusion.
- for there to be no serious side effects from the blood product she is receiving.
- that insurance will cover these infusions.
