A number of prayers have been answered tonight as Hannah continues to recover. Firstly, Hannah's CT scan results showed some swelling of the brain, but nothing too concerning. Also, it appears that her sodium levels have come up a bit and are headed in the right direction. The nurses plan to draw blood one more time tonight to see if the sodium levels continue to increase.
Around 10:15, Hannah sat up (no dry heaving) and wanted something to drink. This little girl drank two apple juices and even had some chicken noodle soup. It was fun to watch her eat her noodles out of a cup with a spoon all by herself. She stayed up long enough to look at some of the gifts that were delivered to her earlier, watched a little Dora on T.V., and even sat on dad's lap for a bit. Both right and left arms seem to be functioning, and she even stood up for us so we could change her diaper. Glory be to God!
By the way, if you're wondering at all about the other kiddos, they are doing well. I (Matt) went home tonight for a bit and hung out with Nathan while Claire and Micah went to soccer. Everyone was in good spirits tonight as I put them down for bed. They are all anxious to come visit Hannah in the hospital and give her gifts.
Before I close this post tonight, I wanted to say thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit us today. Jim and Christine Ommen, Pastor Joel, Kathy Heisey, and Grandma Candice, you were all a great blessing to us today. Thank you for your love and support! Thank you also to the great doctors and nurses who are providing such excellent care for Hannah! You are loved.
