Hannah's hostpital visit update

Yesterday, March 4th, Hannah had her shunt removed at 7:30 am in the morning - of course the time during the surgery was the longest time - but she came out, woke up easily and drank her bottle just as she always does.

She played and kicked and stretched out - no mind the the wires everywhere!

We were blessed to have Jennifer's parents there during the surgery and afterwards as we waited for her to come to the room from recovery as well as our dear friend Cheri.

Hannah also had a few visitors including a pastor from Jennifer's parents' church as well as the student pastor from our church, Jody as well as our children/preschool director Robin. We thank them for lifting up our spirits and enjoyed spending time with each of them and our other visitors.

We have an awesome church home which continues to be at our side praying and being there for Hannah and our family and we cannot express enough thanks to each and everyone!

Thanks to everyone's prayers and obedience to lift her up in your prayers. We definitely aprpeciated them and give thanks for the continued prayers for us and for Hannah.

Hannah was kept overnight mainly so neurology could observe her "jerks" or what we had thought were seizures. It seemed like a time wasted though since when they tried to perform an EEG it didn't work because by Thursday morning Hannah was not ready to sleep! Needless to say, it continues to be a matter of frustration why we were told they weren't seizures, yet they are upping her meds (some are "seizure" meds) to try to control the jerks. We are not sure if we are going to stick with this neurologist either. We know they have other paitents, but they don't seem to ever listen to our point of view nor do what we ask them to do. In addition to that, they didn't even come until Thursday afternoon to observe Hannah or provide her release. Anyway, the neurlogist is a sore subject right now. Hopefully we can find one that takes Hannah's case seriously which we have yet to see or find in our current doctor.

As of this writing, Jennifer and Hannah are still waiting to be released. Hopefully they will leave shortly!

Please keep us in your prayers and we will update Hannah's blog as timely as we can!
