RELAY FOR LIFE UPDATE...10 LUMINARIAS!!!!
Really on a roll now! By the way Sue, when I told Hannah you wanted a luminaria for Laney too, she said she doesn't draw dogs well, so she is going to use a picture we have of Laney and put it on the bag! Pretty funny. I think we're going to have a lot of fun decorating the bags. Hannah started physical therapy again with Scott (her favorite). Her oncologist thinks she can still make progress with her stability and balance. He also hopes we can work out some of the lower extremity pain Hannah is having on a daily basis. After an evaluation, Scott believes the pain and balance issues she is experiencing is in part due to the way she is walking. She is compensating for her left sided weakness, and other issues by rolling her right foot in a bit. She still does have the ataxia on the left side, again causing some walking and balance issues. So, we're going to work on stretching her out a bit and correcting her gait. We'll be going to Scott two mornings a week, and doing our own set of exercises twice a day.
We do have something exciting to look forward to this weekend. Childlife has chosen Hannah to visit a New York City broadway play of her choice. A limousine will pick us up on Saturday morning and take us to the city to see The Lion King! This is sponsored by a large contributor to Schneiders who contributes a lot to the kids in the hemotology/oncology ward. We chose the date, and Hannah selected the Lion King. It is supposed to be an amazing play, and we are all looking forward to it. I think the kids are looking forward to the limo ride as much as the play! It should be fun and of course we'll let you know all the details.

Hi Hannah! I am so glad to see you are doing so well :) It sounds like you have so many good things happening soon. The Lion King is supposed to be a great play and, I can tell you first hand that having a pool is awesome!! To celebrate all of your happiness I would love to purchase a luminary.
I hope to see you soon ,

Dear Hannah Love and family,
My Lord, I can not keep up with you all. I am so glad you had a wonderful visit with your gramma and grandpa. I am happy to know your talk at Pine School was a success. You need to give me information on the hats. Sounds cool.
Great job to you and Colby on all your accomplishments with horse racing and recitals. I am sure Colby has a music concert coming up this week too.
How exciting getting ready for your pool work to be done. You girls look very hard at work. I hope Mom's bruises are better.
and Dave I did not notice any painful expressions on your face. great picture though! I guess your job was head supervisor!!
Wonderful news on all your counts coming up and improving all the time. I pray all goes well with your physical therapy exercises and all your body continues to heal. Scott is an awesome guy.
I know you will love seeing The Lion King- especially on broadway
I have seen The Lion King on broadway it was the best. I amm sure you will love riding in a fancy limonsine. Can't wait to hear the update.
I definitely want to contribute to the luminaries. I will send an email to Mom with information.
Hannah Sunshine, you looked absolutely beautiful playing the piano at your recital and your hair is coming in so nicely. Always remember you are a beautiful young girl with a wonderful spirit and soul nothing can ever touch that in you. Not even cancer!!! You remain always in my heart and prayers and my kindred spirited girl.
I Love You Much,
Love & Blessings,
