Monday afternoon

Sorry I'm so late in writing today.  It's been a big day.  This morning about 7 Hannah woke up and let me know she wanted to stand up.  I thought she just want to go a few steps to the bathroom so I started helping her-but nooo she had MUCH BIGGER PLANS.  She started out the door, which sent two nurses scrambling to grab all her lines and the IV pole, and she continued on down the hall.  I said I feel like I just saw Lazarus rise from the dead. It was the craziest thing I have ever seen! (They have nick named her Lazarus). I guess she was just sick of laying around and decided to get moving.  Everyone who saw her do it was awe struck.  I was holding on to her arms but she was supporting and walking herself! I just wish the neurologist who said she'd most likely never walk again would have been there.  So another day and another unbelievable miracle!  This girl may have more than her fair share of trials, but she also has had more miracles than anyone I've ever known. It's amazing to watch the hand of the Lord in her life on a daily basis. My heart is full!

Ok I was just about to post this when Hannah got really agitated trying to tell me something.  We finally guessed she wants to eat!  She's not supposed to eat until tomorrow when they give her the "official" swallow test but she's been eating little bits of things for the speech therapist and doing well.  So we start naming things-pudding?  applesauce?  potatoes?  no! no! no!  She was getting more and more frustrated when she finally blurted out (very mumbled but I still understood it) Chik Fil A! ha ha Can you believe that?  So her uncle Paul was here and he tore out of here like his pants were on fire-ha ha He is now on his way to Chik Fil A and will shortly be smuggling in some food to his favorite girl.
I'll let you know how this goes tonight.  Wish us luck-ha ha
