Big morning! Hannah got to eat!!! And everything worked as it should. I realize every day here how many things we take for granted about our bodies. We never even think about things such as swallowing but it is such a beautiful thing to be able to do!
She will still be on the feeding tube for awhile and supplement her diet with a few things that are easy to eat. But it's a great first step.
We have all had a few weeks to try and process all that has happened, but I realize for Hannah that process is just starting. Her range of emotions is wild. I was helping her do leg exercises this morning and all of the sudden she just started kicking-she was really mad. She settled down and we had some visitors who made her smile (do you guys know how grateful I feel when you make her smile)?! Anyway, later after much tossing and turning she got sad. We talked (ok I talked and she blinked), but it was a pretty profound conversation about some of the things she has experienced the last few weeks. I have no doubt Heavenly Father has been with her. It has been impressed on me time and time again what a special girl she is and I'm grateful there are so many watching over her who love her. During those two weeks, when her body was here with us but her mind and spirit were so far away, I had hoped she was in a good place-and now I know she was. That makes me happy.
This picture was taken right before Hannah went in to get her gallbladder out on Sunday. She was smiling all the way. I think she thought she was in a parade! Who smiles on their way to surgery??
So glad to read all the improvements every morning and night 😊 Just imagine how much she'll be improved in 3 more weeks! Can't wait to see! I pray the the Lord fill her and you all with his peace, presence and patience. 😌❤ Love you guys!

DeleteLisa, when you can, tell Hannah Kami says hello and that I cannot wait to see her and throw my arms around her again! She is such an amazing girl and I absolutely love her.

ReplyDeleteEATING!!! Oh my goodness! That is so awesome!!! We are so amazed at her progress, and at her darling attitude. She is such a beautiful young woman!!
ReplyDeleteWe love you all! Prayers continue for you all!
The emotional roller coaster is a tough one and I know my Dad struggled with it after his stroke. Hannah is young and seems to have a very strong character so I don't doubt she will pull through this. Payer always for her!
