Today was good. We were busy the whole day-lots of things that need to be done before we leave. Hannah had to say good-bye to two of her favorite therapists today because they are both off the rest of the week. It was so sad. One of them started crying and then Hannah started crying and it was heart wrenching. I get emotional too when I think of how much they have helped her, and how much we have grown to love these people. Her surgeon also came for his last check on her (the one who saved her life). How do you adequately express your appreciation for saving your child's life? A "thank-you" to all these people seems so inadequate. I hope they understand how deeply grateful and indebted we are to them.
I know Hannah is going to be missed around here too. She has a way of worming her way into everyone's hearts. She made cookies today and disappeared for awhile. When I found her she was handing out cookies to everyone and talking with them as if they were her oldest and dearest friends. ha ha I love how compassionate and good she is to everyone she meets, from the doctors to the patients to the cleaning ladies (they all adore her). She really is a remarkable girl!
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??
I was just listening to Sister Burton's talk "Certain Women" she said "Certain women are disciples centered in the Savior Jesus Christ and have hope through the promise of His atoning sacrifice." She, of course was referring to accounts of certain women in the New Testament who were loyal disciples of Christ. I submit Hannah Rigby is a modern day "Certain Woman". Hope today is good one! Hugs to all!
