This is Hannah taking the elevator to her new room. Sorry the picture is a little blurry.On Saturday the doctors removed the breathing tube and Hannah began to breathe on her own. She did so well that by Sunday afternoon they moved her from the ICU to her own room on the 11th floor. She is now in room 1110 if you want to visit and its a little easier for visitors than it was in the ICU. She has been talking up a storm (Hannah style) and its clear she still has her sense of humor. She told the nurse on sunday when she came to take blood that she doesnt give her blood for free anymore. She hates her physical therapy but is anxious to get out of the hospital so she is working hard through the pain. She is sitting up more and she wears a "turtle Shell" as you can see in the picture
On sunday evening she had a special visitor. Jon Schmidt has been a hero of Hannah's for some time. Since she was a little girl she has dreamed of writing music like he does and seeing her music selling next to his at music stores. She was pretty thrilled to be able to present him with one of her CD's and just couldnt believe that he was there to see her. He wrote on her wall ( we have a poster up for visitors to write on) and visited with her for almost an hour. She is determined to get out of the hospital in time for his concert on the 16th. At the rate she is healing and with her level of determination who knows she may surprise us all and make it.
You may have noticed the new tabs at the top of the screen. I should have additional info posted in them soon. Including some ways that you can help if you are interested a schedule for visits and a bio for Hannah.
Here is message from Hannah. Its short and sweet but who would have expected otherwise.
"I dont remember alot about what happened but I want to thank everyone for visiting and caring and everything."

Dear Heavenly Father,
ReplyDeleteFirst and foremost I want to thank You for giving the world more time with Your Daughter. I know Heaven may be missing an angel, but this world needs pieces of You here.
I pray for Appreciation… that we don’t take for granted the time that You have blessed us with, and that we may live each minuet to its fullest.
I pray for Your hands to heal… not only physically but emotionally.
I pray for Courage… that she may continue to move forward with perseverance.
I pray for Your Strength to carry her… as she may feel overwhelmed at times.
I pray for Determination, that she will wake up each day ready to take on any obstacles that may get in her way.
I pray for emotional strength for family and friends… so they may carry the weight of each day, and move forward with firmness.
But most importantly I pray for her Future… for I KNOW she is destined for greatness, and Your plan for her is greater that she can imagine.
Amen.
