FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!!

04/17/06 - FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!! Hannah´s kidney function test done today showed POSITIVE RESULTS. Hannah has NO KIDNEY FAILURE and her kidneys are functioning normally! Things were touch and go for a while as Hannah`s oxygen level was dropping and as of yesterday was going to be admitted to the I.C.U. Hannah came through the procedure fine on thursday and did not have to go to the I.C.U. The results from the test showed the spots on Hannah`s lungs were due to BACTERIAL PNUEMONIA, not to the cancer (MORE GREAT NEWS) Although Hannah´s oxygen level is decreased and she has been put on 100% oxygen via mask she is still pulling her own. Hannah has a rash starting on her body that doctors feel MAY BE the early signs of GRAFT VS. HOST, another plus. Although it´s still too early to tell, when Hannah`s new bone marrow is fighting off the cancer cells this rash will occur. Let`s keep our fingers crossed! Otherwise Hannah has really PULLED HERSELF AROUND and is doing REMARKABLY WELL. She is able to eat and drink whatever she wants and has EVEN ASKED TO GO WALKING TODAY!! WAY TO GO HANNAH!!! YOU NEVER CEASE TO AMAZE US!!! KEEP IT UP SWEETIE! THINGS ARE GOING YOUR WAY!!
