Home Sweet Home

We got home today and are getting settled. This recovery, while scary in the ICU- has proven to be VERY different than that in October.  Hannah has done nothing but CRUSH one hurdle and bench-mark after the next.  She needs some time to heal and regain strength- but we are all so excited about herContinue reading “Home Sweet Home”

They Just Took Her Back

Two Days to Go…

Hi, Everyone! It’s Hannah. I am writing because in two days I will be returning to the hospital (Tuesday, February 23).  If I’m being honest, I am in no means ready.

After 47 Days

47 Days After 47 days and three surgeries- I am so relieved to let everyone know that we have brought Hannah HOME.  After much discussion with Hannah’s medical team- we felt it best to bring her home rather than to an in-patient rehab.  She has a lot of healing to do from her most recentContinue reading “After 47 Days”
