Today was a good day. She seemed to understand more what was going on. She was sad that she couldn't talk to us, but it is so hopeful that everyday we see her doing little things that she didn't do the day before. To me, it seems like many pieces of a big puzzle that are slowly coming together. I was talking to one of her cardiologists that other day, and she was saying how she loves her field of study because it mostly deals with absolutes. You can look at the structure and function of the heart and understand what is or isn't working. With the brain, it's really a guessing game. The neurologist told us that we should see progress as the swelling of her brain goes down. Then things will seem to plateau for awhile, and then we should see more improvement as the neurons find new pathways to talk to each other. So it is the ultimate waiting game.
Today we got to spend some time with our cute grandkids; Hallie, Boston, and Henry. They are definitely a bright spot. No matter how bad things are, they are always happy and loving -oblivious to the sad things. And that's so good, because they are our constant reminders that there are still so many good and happy things.
Please keep praying for our sweet Hannah.
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??
You can rest assured our prayers for Hannah will continue! Hoping today there are more signs of progress!
