11/23/05 - GREAT NEWS!!!!!!! Hannah's routine visit to the hospital today weighed her in at 14.5kg (32lbs). Hannah has started to gain weight and has grown a few centimetres since being home. Hannah's appetite has been improving and she is becoming more active. Each day is a step forward. WAY TO GO HANNAH!!! KEEP ON DOING WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!

11/23/05 - Hannah received another SPECIAL opportunity this week. It has been over 10 months since Hannah has been into a store. With Hannah's immune system remaining fragile and her high risk of developing infections from large groups it limits her ability to do anything where there are large groups of people . Thanks to the kind people at a local Mississauga Wallmart store, informed of Hannah's situation they agreed to give her 1 hour in the store after closing to look around. Hannah thoroughly enjoyed herself and with Mommy & Grandma's help purchased a Christmas dress for herself and Emily as well as a few new toys. It was great to have her doing something FUN and being able to SMILE like a 3 year old in a TOY STORE should. It's going to be a VERY MERRRY CHRISTMAS for Hannah and her WHOLE FAMILY!!!

11/9/05 - Hannah got an EXTREMELY EXCITING and UNIQUE opportunity on Saturday to be a spectator at a Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey practice. Due to her low immune system and her high risk for infection it is not reccomended that Hannah be around large groups of people. Therefore she was offered the chance to watch the hockey practice, since unable to attend a game. Hannah enjoyed the practice with Mommy, Daddy, Emily, Grandma & Grandpa. Her most memorable moment was when her favourite player Tie Domi gave her a personilzed photo of himself. It will be a day that holds many special memories. Thank you to all the Toronto Maple Leaf players and the organization for making it possible.
