Healing Hannah

You've all heard a thing or two about Lilly's best friend, Hannah, who has cancer. Yesterday Hannah underwent her sixth surgery for what was hopefully removal of the last tumor in her brain. Today, less than 24 hours after the surgery, Lilly and I visited her in the hospital. Remarkably, Hannah was discharged from the hospital this evening, having to only stay one night... unbelievable progress! It's amazing, but Hannah makes brain surgery look easy.
Here's a photo of Hannah and Lilly taking a ride in one of the wagons... this is often how they  transport kiddos around at the children's hospital.
Each floor of the hospital has a play room that is open several hours each day. Hannah and Lilly painted pillow cases, played games and painted artwork. It's funny, but the play room is one of the reasons Lilly likes to visit Hannah in the hospital so much. One thing that caught my attention was the tiny MRI machine someone had made for the Barbie. Isn't this a crack-up?
Only in a hospital play room, right?
 Welcome home, Hannah. Our prayers are with you as you continue to heal. :)
