January

I'm very late posting about Hannah's January appointment. Time flies by and before we know it, it's time for another appointment. Her January appointment was a normal chemo day and she did really well with everything. Eric is the best at distracting her during her pokes. He makes faces behind the nurses' backs and when Hannah tells the nurse to turn around and see him he quits and acts like he doesn't know what she is talking about. By the time the nurse is ready to poke Hannah, the whole room is belly laughing. He is the best Daddy! Hannah and I are both so thankful that he can take off work to go to most of her appointments.

We had a long discussion with Hannah's doctors about some potentially lifelong side effects from her cancer/chemo. I won't go into too much detail on here out of respect of Hannah's privacy. There's so much more that goes along with having cancer than just the cancer itself.

The week before Hannah's appointment, we learned of a family (friends of a friend) whose little three year old daughter had just been diagnosed with Leukemia. We were able to stop by and meet them since their daughter was inpatient. The looks of exhaustion and worry on their faces brought back so many memories. That first month is the worst. Would you take a few minutes and pray for this family right now? They have such a long, difficult road ahead of them.

Seven more to go!
