Today Hannah had her routine follow-up bone marrow biopsy at NIH in Bethesda, Maryland.
Since Hannah's blood counts have continued to hold steady & trend upwards the doctors have taken her off of ALL medications. Hannah has been taking a nasty immune-suppresion medication since she got sick in December 2008. The medicine tastes nasty & can wreak havoc on your body with side effects. Thankfully, Hannah has cheerfully taken the medicine for so long & has not experienced side effects.
For those of you that have followed our blog, you know how incredibly sick Hannah was last summer at NIH. To have her go back today for a follow-up appointment & be taken off all medications is nothing short of a complete miracle.
There are no words to describe my thanks to the Lord for ALL He has done for my Hannah & for our family.
Thank you, Lord, for your healing hand on my precious Hannah!!!
A BIG huge thank you to cousin Sarah for keeping Hannah happy, laughing & pre-occupied throughout the time at NIH. Sarah, you are the reason Hannah wanted to come to the East Coast ... thank you for being the BEST COUSIN EVER!
Thanks to my mom & sister, Rachel, for taking Hannah to NIH.
What a family I have!!!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
