Monday evening

So sorry I haven't posted anything today. It's been long and hard. This morning we had our consult with neurology. Hannah has had a stroke-not from a bleed or a clot but from the oxygen deprivation she experienced while in emergency surgery Tuesday night. Both sides of her brain were affected. The areas that were affected were the ones dealing with language ( speaking) and large motor capabilities. They think she can understand us pretty well which is good. As we talked to people today it became clear that the knowledge we have of the brain is still very limited. Because every brain is somewhat different, it's hard to predict what she will recover once the swelling goes down. They have already been here talking to us about their rehab program which sounds very intense. To be truthful it's all a bit much for us to take in today. We re trying to deal with this emotionally while listening to all the information that's being given to us. My brain is tired and feels like it could explode.

     We are sad beyond words about all this, but I still keep feeling like everything is going to be ok. I know it's going to take everything we have to power through this, but I believe God has given us what we need to do this. We have the greatest doctors, the best support system in the world, faith in a loving God who also wants good things for Hannah and the unconquerable spirit of one amazing girl. I believe she will continue to amaze us. Thanks for your love-we have felt so blessed to have all of you sharing in our difficult journey. We love you all.❤️
