This is a place to put my thoughts down into words, and hopefully share our lives with family and friends in the process.

Finally Doing Better
I am sorry it has taken a few days to get this updated. On top of the chaos, our internet at home has been down. Hannah is doing MUCH better. She went to her follow up appointment with her doctor yesterday. She said that it looks like they were "fever seizures" and that any number of things going on in Hannah's little body could have caused them. What happened is that while she was napping at daycare her fever must have shot up from possibly normal to something 3-4 degrees higher, which is what initially caused the seizures. The problem after the seizures occurred was to figure out what caused the fever. She actually said that it looks like maybe it was a "perfect storm" of things because no one thing would probably cause her temperature to spike, but that several things all at once could...like teething, her immunizations about 10 days prior, and a cold (possibly some mild pneumonia). She said that each one separately could have caused some minimal fever, but piled on top of each other that minimal fever turned into a lot. So, Hannah got some antibiotics in the hospital and is still taking some now and really is feeling a lot better. Her teeth are still really bothering her but I would imagine that is going to go on for a while since she is working on all four molars right now. Who knows how long it will take for those to actually break through! Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks for your prayers and thoughts. It has meant so much to our family!

So glad she is better and I love the picture you sent me of her sitting on her toy. She looks well and so happy. Back to her normal self. And she looks so grown up. Love you and love her and Jon. Miss you guys see you soon. Love you MOM
I'm so glad things are better for Hannah and for you and Jon. Whew!
I want you to know that in the days prior to Hannah's seizures I had been questioning God A LOT, but at the moment I heard what was going on I chose to depend on Him to make it better. Since that time, I've asked Him to work in my own life. So, in short, that little piece of fruit that I dearly love helped her Auntie more than we realize yet.
Kiss her for me..<3
