A Day to Heal and Rest

Today Hannah's major goal is rest. She was able to sleep through the night and was still sleeping at 10:00 this morning. Hannah's doctor's and nurses and pleased with the progress she is making and things are looking up for her. There are no major procedures scheduled for today.

Today's goal is to wean her off of the ventilator. This will enable her to communicate easier. Once she is off of the ventilator they will also be able to determine if the broken ribs on her left side are hindering her ability to breath. If this is the case they may elect to plate/repair her left ribs also.

Hannah's has also developed more blood clots. Her medical team is confident that the umbrella will keep these from causing any major damage. They are also now medicating her with a blood thinner that will help reduce the risk.

The heart tubes have been removed and well as the tube in her right lung. The plan is to try to remove the tube from her left lung today. Her left arm is now at a 5 out of 5 which is excellent. She has command of her arm and move it on demand. Her left leg is currently at a 0 out of 5- they continue to watch this and are not making a determination at this time.

As you can see Hannah has made phenomenal progress and continues to improve every day.

Please continue to keep Hannah in your thoughts and prayers throughout the day!
