A giant step



Ok so Hannah didnt take a step but she moved her left leg. Several times actually. It looks like she should have a full recovery of all movement! Hannah's body is covered in bruises like the ones you can see in this picture. Doctors said that as her more critical injuries heal her body will begin to manifest the more minor ones. She has had pain in her hands the last few days and will probably continue to have little things coming up. Last night when I was visiting she kept us all in stitches with her jokes. She claims that the oxygen they have her on feels like someone just stuck two boogers in her nose and they werent even hers! She seemed annoyed that the nurse was asking for her last name and said it was such an obvious question. The medication makes her quite nauseous and after a trip down the hall for X rays she threw up all over and they had to remove her braces to clean her up. It was extremely painful and left her exhausted. She is loving having children come visit her now. Her niece Shaylee was there last night and kept giving Hannah kisses. She loved it. She is asking lots of questions. Wants to know when Miriam is coming home from Canada, when Sussannah is coming to visit, and where her sister Rhoda is. Since she doesnt have a sister named Rhoda we didnt know what to tell her. She told us that during the night one night she kept throwing the thing that attaches to her finger to measure her oxygen over the side of her bed. The nurse kept coming in and putting it back on. Finally Alma, (although I hear it was actually Richard and she just doesnt remember) put it on his own finger so the machine wouldnt go off and alert the nurse. She claims thats why she got to go home. Then she looked around her kind of confused and said wait im not at home. I think the medication leaves her a little fuzzy.
