Sorry I am posting so late. Just been getting Hannah situated for the night. So today we saw some improvements. She was moving her arms and legs and would even open her eyes sometimes, although she wasn't really focusing on anything or anyone. But it's definitely more than what we were getting yesterday and so we 're pretty happy. Several Drs. we're in discussing the situation and all of them think the odds are that it is all the narcotics she has been on this week. I'm sure the swelling on her brain is part of it, but I think part of it is the drugs. It's so hard to watch!
Everyone's day though was made better by the friends and family that have come to visit. I'm hoping Hannah hears all their voices and feels their love. I'm pretty sure she does. So blessed to have such good people in our lives!
I was also grateful for all those who volunteered themselves to be my punching bag whenever needed. That is true and unconditional love!! Makelle even volunteered her dad which was so generous. Ha ha Anyway, I'll let you know when I need to call upon you for that favor.
One of my friends tonight told me to be patient. I told her that wasn't my virtue and so she suggested I punch the guy who said, "patience is a virtue." Good idea!
Truthfully though, waiting for answers is so hard. But we are seeing progress every day and have faith that things will be okay. We are grateful for your prayers and ask that you continue to pray for sweet Hannah. Thank 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??
My heart continues to go it to you and your family. Our prayers for Hannah are in our hearts all day and we too are hopefull things will be ok. A few moments go I thought of the Savior and could picture him with his arms around Hannah comforting and strengthening her. An act of love he is intimately familiar with having had an Angel comfort him while he was in the garden of gethsemane. So glad you are hanging on to your faith and praying you & Bob as well as the rest of the family will take comfort in our Saviors love. More hugs coming your way!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the updates. As I chaperoned the dance last night I kept checking for one and was so happy to read your Saturday Evening update. Everyone at Hillcrest that I talk to is following and praying for her and your family. And I'm not just talking seminary students! I mean EVERYONE! I hope your Sabbath is filled with the Spirit and with peace. God bless you each today.
ReplyDeleteYour family is in our thoughts and prayers! I absolutely adore Hannah (and the rest of your family) and have been so grateful to know she is slowly improving. May God continue to bless you with miracles and an outpouring of His love! Sending my love your way! Sheila
ReplyDeleteLisa, I'm loving these updates! She has been on my mind so much, and I have even shed many tears for her! I just love her! We are still praying for sweet Hannah and we won't stop. -Kami Hinckley
