Wow! What a difference a day can make. Last night at this time Hannah was so sad, discouraged, and in terrible pain. Tonight's been altogether different. She has been smiling and even laughed a few times at one of our friends who came to visit. She apparently thought he was a comedian. So good to see her smile. Sierra, her sweet friend, came and spent the afternoon with her and she really seemed to enjoy her company. She has such awesome friends.
Another great thing that happened today was that they let her get out of bed! They haven't wanted her to do much because they have been nervous about her bleeding again, but they decided to let her try it and she did great. I think a big part of her restlessness is just being uncomfortable from laying in bed so long. So anyway, she seemed pretty dang happy for herself. We are going to do it again tomorrow. I found out today that one requirement for her to begin rehab is for her to be able to do 2 sessions that are at least an hour and a half long (each day). I was kind of discouraged about that but I think once she starts getting out of bed her stamina will improve and hopefully she'll progress quickly.
Just grateful for the progress we've seen today. Love this beautiful girl so much!
Thank you so much to everyone who came and visited today. We love you.
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 hear progress is being made! I can imagine how restless she must feel being confined to a bed for so many days. Praying she will get the strength to start her rehab and that the healing continues!
ReplyDeleteThis is all such great news!!! Patience is not an easy thing, but this is great progress. Prayers are being answered!!! Give her a big hug for us (if she will let you😉) We love you all!!
