Tuesday morning

Hannah is down to one arterial line and two I.V's!  I feel like we should be having a party.  I was able to crawl in bed with her this morning and give her a hug. I needed that!
The plan for today is to get her up a little more and maybe even get her into a wheelchair.  It'd be so nice if she could get out of her room.  This has got to be depressing!
She slept pretty good last night which is always nice.  She tries to sleep in the day but her room is a constant coming and going of medical people so it makes it kind of difficult.  We have had a very diverse group of people taking care of Hannah, and I love them all.  Interesting to see so many people from so many parts of the world come together to do what they love and to bless others.  Today our tech is from Africa-a beautiful lady with some interesting stories. They certainly help us pass the time for which I'm grateful.
Baby Henry has been here this whole time and hasn't got to see his aunt Hannah even once!  I'm hoping when she goes to the rehab part they will let him in, and also Boston and Hallie when they visit.  Hannah loves her nieces and nephews so much. Every time I take a break and go downstairs to see Henry he is so happy and smiley.  I keep thinking, "Henry, why are you so happy?  Your life kind of sucks right now"-ha ha. But he seems oblivious to it all and it is impossible not to smile when you see that cute face.  I read a quote earlier today that said, "Children are happy because they don't have a file in their minds called, 'All the things that could go wrong.' "  ha ha Very Very True!  I wish I could be a kid again.
Hopefully it will be a good day and I'll have lots of good things to report tonight.

  3. YAY!! So happy to hear Hanah is doing better each and every day. I love being a nurse for this reason. Not olny the patient, but their families become your family. It is so easy to get attached and we celebrate with you on every step she takes. We will continue to keep Hanah and her family in our daily prayers. ❤️
