We are back home!

Above its a picture of Hannah at the hospital playing dolls and dreaming of Rian's eggs!

We came back home last night. After five days in the hospital, it is nice to be here. Hannah was so happy to see her toys and brothers. I am so happy to have my tea this morning. Oh, and food!
Hannah tested positive for Clostridium difficile, or C. diff, which I can actually say. It is caused from either antibiotics or the chemo she is on. It is what was causing her fever, abdominal pains, and diarrhea. It doesn't explain her headache but that got better and her MRI came out good. The bummer was that we didn't find out about the C. diff until the last day. She had so many different tests trying to figure out what was wrong. She did a great job, though. I truly feel like she is amazing. She was very sick and in so much pain, but she is still just such a fighter. She doesn't complain, she might be a bit pissy at the staff, but I think they understand!
Thank you all for your nice emails and all the prayers. Thank you, God! I was praying hard. I was a bit worried this time.

  3. I should have said I was happy it was C diff and not the other alternatives!! I am not happy she had c diff but relieved that it was not meningitis or the cancer spreading!! Thought I should clarify that!! I am glad she is home!!

  4. Hi Carrie,

    You don't know me but I know Erin Bell and she told me about you. In addition to contributing to Hannah's fund online, I wanted to know if there is anything else you need. It seems like you have a great group of people around you but if you are ever in a jam, please feel free to contact me. I just wanted to know if there was any way we could serve your family. I stay home so my time is flexible. I can run errands or help you around the house. My husband is quite handy so if there is any way he can help out, he is available also.

    The first thing I did when I read about Hannah was to pray for you all. We will continue to do so!

    Warmly,

    Christina
