It's so weird how tired we all get by night. I can see why Hannah is tired but the rest of us are dragging around by 8:00. I guess emotional exhaustion is as real as physical. It seems by evening Hannah is so tired that everything seems overwhelming and then even the little frustrations are amplified. Because of this she is usually sad in the evenings and that's hard to watch. Tonight though I read her some Valentines that her cute cousins sent her, and I also some letters from friends at home and it really seemed to cheer her up. Hopefully she can sleep well and be ready to go tomorrow.
This hospital has some awesome things to try and help healing. One thing that has really been helping Hannah is getting massages. She has been getting really tense from all her frustrations and then this masseuse comes and works his magic and she's a new girl. I told her not to get used to it but I think she already is. They also use aromatherapy and she has loved that too. I think integrating these kinds of things with conventional methods is so great. I love that this hospital is open new ways of thinking when it comes to healing!
Well, it's 9:00 so I better be getting to bed-ha ha Yes, I am acting like I'm 80 but 3 a.m. comes around fast-that's when they come in to draw labs and wake Hannah up. Yep-their days start early around this place. CRAZY!!! Good night everyone.
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??
That's so neat that they use essential oils on her. They are pretty amazing as is Hannah, well as is everyone in the Hale family.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful Hospital and that Hannah is getting the best care possible. That, combined with the loving support of family and friends, is sure to help in the healing process!
