5/24/05 - Hannah has had a very EVENTFUL WEEK! On Thursday she had some minor surgery. She had been treated by an ear, nose and throat specialist who determined that hannah had some fluid in her ears and a possible fungal infection in her sinuses. So she went to the operating room to have her sinuses flushed out and scraped for cultures. She also had the fluid in her ears drained and tubes put in. She had to receive plateletes before and after her surgery due to some extra bleeding which is now under control. Hannah was also diagnosed with pneumonia in the lower left quadrant of her lungs. She is still being treated with all the antibiotics but has been FEVER FREE since Thursday night. HOORAY!!! The sore on Hannah's mouth has also gotten better. So far all the cultures that have come back have been NEGATIVE. They are still waiting on a few. Hannah also had to receive some immunizations over the weekend as a case of measles was diagnosed on her floor. Unfortunately Hannah had a reaction to one of the needles and had some swelling in her leg. She has been monitored closely and is doing well now. Hannah remains in good spirits she has been allowed out of her room once a day in the stroller under a protective cover to take a walk outside or downstairs in the hospital. THIS IS SO GREAT!!! Hannah is slowly being allowed more exposure to other people while in the hospital as Grandpa is now allowed to visit one day a week. Hopefully this will continue and Hannah will soon be allowed outside visitors again or better yet, maybe Hannah will be HOME AGAIN SOON!!
