Hannah Day

Hannah's cousins, from Philadelphia, arrived this evening with Aunt Rachel & my cousin, Blair. Hannah is so happy to just have some fun hanging out with her cousins.

She is off of the oxygen & looking really good!!! She has not had a fever all day ... thank you, Lord!!!!! She is scheduled for an MRI on July 1st to try to figure out why she keeps having so much pain in her legs (and now in her back - yesterday & today).

We'd love to be home, happy & healthy right now but if we are going to be in this situation, there really is no better place to be than at the NIH! I am just so thankful for the incredible care that Hannah is receiving & that she is in a hospital that is super, ultra kid-friendly. We love Kaiser Fontana and we LOVE our nurses & Claudia back in California but having an air hockey machine, playroom and playground is pretty cool!!

Hannah got unhooked from her IV pole this evening & played with her cousins on the playground that is right outside the unit. We even brought pizza for a picnic .. until we started to get eaten by the mosquitoes. It is so much fun to see Hannah be a kid in the midst of all her medical issues ... and even in the midst of recovering from double pneumonia!!

Thank you to everyone that has been busy putting stamps on cards, postcards & sending packages ... the mail is always a bright spot in Hannah's day. Today she was hiding under the covers but jumped out when she heard there was mail to be had! Thank you, thank you!

All God's best --
