HANNAH IS HOME

4/24/05 - HANNAH IS HOME!!!! After 11 LONG WEEKS in the hospital Hannah is FINALLY HOME!!! Hannah was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. Her blood counts have been stable and rising well on their own. She has had no blood transfusions in the past week and no fever. Hannah will attend the outpatient clinic at Sick Kids every Monday, Wednesday and Friday for blood work. If she remains stable she will be able to stay at home until a bone marrow match is found. If a match is not found within the next 3 to 4 weeks and Hannah begins to deteriorate she will have to go in for another round of chemo. BUT UNTIL THEN, Hannah will enjoy her time at home with her mom, dad and sister Emily. Something she has waited for and FOUGHT for. Being with her WHOLE family TOGETHER AGAIN!! Hannah has NO RESTRICTIONS while at home. In order to keep Hannah at home as LONG AS POSSIBLE it has been advised that Hannah not have any contact with ANYONE that has had a fever, cough, flu-like symptoms, etc. in the past 10 DAYS. This is only to PROTECT HER since at the moment her immune system is compromised and she is VERY SUSCEPTIBLE to infections. We wish Hannah all the BEST and PRAY that once HER MATCH is found she has a SPEEDY RECOVERY. WE LOVE YOU HANNAH!!!!!
