Celebrating Hannah!

This week we celebrate Hannah being home for six months.  Can you believe it?!  It is amazing to see how much she has overcome in a short time.

What is Hannah up to?
*Hannah is potty trained!
*Hannah understands most English and speaks full sentences.
*Hannah says, "I love you!"
*Hannah loves Minnie Mouse!
*Hannah likes to eat broccoli, noodles and oranges.
*Hannah plays puzzles, babies, trains and kitchen.
*Hannah has gained 2 pounds and grown 1.5 inches since coming home.

We also praise God that Hannah is nine weeks post-op and doing remarkably well.  Today we met with Hannah's amazing neurosurgeon and nurse practitioner.  Seriously, these two have been instrumental in Hannah's success.  They have always made us feel important and well cared for.  We are so thankful for their excellent care and expertise.

They are very pleased with Hannah's recovery.  Her MRI showed that the tumor and tract were removed completely.  Praise God!  They will continue to watch the fatty area of her brain that is malformed.  Her next MRI and check-up is in six months!  This is a great answer to prayer since they were talking about doing them every three months originally.  In the meantime, we will follow-up with ophthalmology and neurology.  We will also see genetics due to Hannah's mid-line birth defects.  We really like to go to doctors and hospitals. ;)

Since we are still working on Hannah's adoption video, let's take a look back at the past six months in pictures.  God is so good!

for his steadfast love endures forever!" ~Psalm 107:1
