Such a beautiful day here today-it felt like summer! I think we better enjoy it while it lasts because I did hear it might snow next week?? Anyway, I hope everyone from Idaho enjoys their spring break and ends up somewhere warm!
Hannah had a good day. Her heart is still having some rhythm issues but they are hoping the increased dose of one of her medicines will fix the problem. It seems to get a little better every day but it is still nerve wracking! At night now they turn off the monitor screen in her room because it alarms all night. Now it just goes to the nurses station so at least we can try and get some sleep.
I went to that Parent Hour today. Interesting. . . The speaker was great-mostly just there to tell about her experiences with her son and some tips on navigating the challenges of brain traumas. Her 14 year old son was in a cherry picker at his school and the whole thing tipped over. Kind of a freak accident. But most of the meeting was taken up by a mom who was basically having a nervous break down. I think maybe she'd had a few too many meds to try and help her cope with her situation, and I don't think they were helping! So sad. People all cope in different ways for sure, but it seems some ways only compound their problems. I felt bad for her.
Tomorrow we get to escape the hospital for a few hours. I hope it's as nice as it was today. Hannah thinks we should go to the zoo, so that's probably where we'll go. I worry so much about normal things making her too tired but I am happy we get to venture out, even if it's for a short time. I am starting to see that keeping a person psychologically healthy is about as important as anything, and I'm sure it'll do her some good. And me! Jordan and his family are coming so it will be great to spend some time with them. We sure miss everyone! But we do know we are in a good place, and that this time is important for Hannah's recovery. Thank you all so much for your prayers and love. We are constantly overwhelmed by your kindness. We love you!
Hope everyone has a wonderful, warm weekend!
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??
Going to the Zoo sounds like so much fun!! New York is still buried in snow so hoping you do have a nice day today and enjoy your time away from the hospital. I'm sure it will be an invigorating and refreshing day for Hannah! We're off to the Temple and will keep your family in our prayers. We are so amazed by your faith and courage not to mention pateince as you wait upon the Lord trusting in his Grace and Mercy. Wish we could go to the zoo with you! Hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteWow! The great escape!!! It might wear her out, but it will be a good "wear out"! She loves animals, so that will be right down her alley! Have a wonderful day! Love to you all!
