Precious girl slept almost the whole day. They are trying to get her off the narcotics she has been on and onto something that's not so strong. The new medicine seemed to do a good job for her pain, but just kept her asleep. Oh well, it's probably good for her body to have some uninterupted rest.
It's been so good to have the kids here. We all feel like we're not doing much besides just beong here, but hopefully she is feeling comfort from everyone's presence. A lot of the time we will just stand or sit around her bed admiring her. Once in awhile she will open her eyes and give us an exasperated look like, "Don't you guys have anything better to do?" The truth is we don't.
All day we go through a lots of ups and downs, but it always seems like when I am at my low point, something will happen that will remind me to take courage with our situation. Tonight I was pretty discouraged. I went upstairs to have dinner at the Ronald McDonald area. On the far wall is a huge picture window that runs the whole length of the room and looks out over the Salt Lake Valley. It's always a pretty view, but tonight it was truly one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. It stopped me in my tracks and I thought, "Wow, if God has created something so magnificent, there is really nothing He isn't capable of." Sometimes it just takes a sunset to remind us.
I know I say it almost every day, but I really mean it when I say how much we appreciate all the kind things you are continually doing for our family. We have been the recipient of so many acts of kindness I couldn't begin to name them. Please know how meaningful your kind words and actions have been. We know Hannah is a loved girl, and it helps us to know how many of you are cheering her on. 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??
Sure love you all! Thank you for keeping us updated. I hope you get some rest too!
ReplyDeleteThose gentle reminders, like a beautiful sunset, help us to remember our Heavenyl Father is the supreme ruler of the universe and we are in his loving care. Pattie and I we're talking about a previous post where you shared how Hannah had seen Angels and we felt an assurance she truly had indicating how precious a soul she is to our Savior. Thy will be done is sometimes a hard thing to utter yet I can think of no better hands for Hannah to be in than those of Christ. It is our prayer and hope she will be healed for surly the Lord has a work for her to do and he knows how much we all need her. We hope, in some quiet moment today you will feel the peace and warmth of our Saviors love. Hugs for all!
ReplyDeleteSo glad she can rest peacefully. Hopefully you will see many improvements today because of the rest. We are praying for you all. Let us know if there is something we can do here in IF. Sending love! Laurie Treat & Family
