Hannah turns 10 today.
Ten.
A decade.
Hannah is the prize. What a gift her life is. To me. To so many.
I am so thankful to be her mom and to have walked some very tough roads along side her.
"It's a girl" .. 1:11pm, 11/15/01.
We have had some crazy health issues going on over here.
After my last post, Hannah came down with pneumonia & got admitted to the hospital for IV anti-biotics.
She got discharged the day before my 40th birthday.
We celebrated on my 40th by going to a Taylor Swift concert & had some awesome Mexican food!
Last week I got sick. Sicker than I have ever been in my entire life.
Felt like "death would have been a relief" kind of sick.
By Friday I got admitted to the hospital for pneumonia & spent the weekend there.
Got discharged last night with doctor's orders to stay home in bed & rest this week.
Kim said, "you can do that, Deb!" ..... My best friend knows me so well!!
Thankful Hannah & I are both out of the hospital.
Thankful for IV antibiotics, wonderful nurses & docs at
Brownsboro Hospital & Kosair Children's Hospital,
thankful for my work that hasn't fired me yet (!?!),
thankful for a home to come home to with girls that are my heart.
Life is good.
Even when I was so sick I had a few good laughs with the nurses & xray techs.
You just have to make the best of it all ... even when you are coughing up a lung .. or two.
Happy birthday to my most precious treasure of a double digit child.
You make my heart so happy, Hannah!
You have brought me endless joy & happiness for the past decade!
I am forever thankful for God's amazing healing hand on your life.
You are a walking testament to the power of prayer & the healing hand of God.
Happy 10th Birthday
Miss Hannah Rose Eriksen.
