Tuesday night

Hannah's day was good.  She is doing really well in all her therapies and all the therapists have been really positive about her progress.  On Tuesday afternoon they have a parent meeting and go over all the reports from the therapists.  They said that everything seems to be moving in the right direction. They also tell us the goals for Hannah for the week ahead and give us a predicted release day.  Today they said 2-4 weeks.  Aughhh that seems so far away but time actually goes pretty fast here.  Although she told me tonight she kind of feels like she's in jail.  They do have an ankle bracelet on her with a sensor that goes off if she leaves the hospital if she hasn't been cleared.  Twice we have had security chase us down when the clearance didn't work right.  It adds a little excitement to our day.  ha ha  I thought the whole ankle bracelet was a bit over the top but then yesterday I saw the security hauling some boy back who apparently had escaped.  He looked like he was only about 8 years old. So I guess they are justified with the crazy ankle bracelet.
Her heart settled down with the new medicine.  I'm hoping it stays that way.  Kind of a scary night last night.  I had been hesitant to have Hannah come to the rehab floor because she has to be on monitors all the time for her heart and on this floor the nurses aren't trained in cardiac care.  But last night when I was hitting my sleep-deprived limit, the nurse came in and said, "You know how lucky you guys are?  I'm a cardiac nurse and I know all about this stuff.  My whole job tonight is to watch her monitor, so you go to sleep and I will wake you up if anything changes."  I wanted to kiss her, but I was too tired-ha ha So I slept and she watched Hannah's monitors for about 8 hours.  I don't think it was luck, I think God knows our limits and continually blesses us with tender mercies to get us through.
Every night we try and say prayers together.  Hannah's prayers are a very humbling affair. She talks to God like he is her best friend. And tonight I noticed she thanked Him for so many things and never asked Him for one thing.  That's probably why he likes to bless her so much.  Hannah has always had a close relationship with her Heavenly Father,  she has relied on Him her whole life.  But something about what she experienced last month has changed her, and instead of just believing in Him, it's like she really knows Him.  Like I said, listening to her pray is humbling!
