Hannah's Facebook status from sixteen years ago today was this ... "Hannah is back from the hospital for the second time in 2 weeks but feeling great!" And an excerpt my email ... I wanted to spend a few minutes talking about Hannah in my update today. I don't usually say much about her personally, because she is a very private person and has been …

So after being told we would be in the hospital a few more days ... Boom, just like that, they were telling us we would be heading home tomorrow. A welcome disruption to our schedule for once!

My name is Jill Sullivan ... and I have a calendar problem. I like calendars. A lot. I love filling in all the little boxes with appointments and special dates and activities.

2h ago3:13

3:13

Hospital life is strange. You would think that the doctors and nurses want the sick person to rest ... but no ... you would think wrongly. All through the day -- and all through the night -- there are blood pressure checks, antibiotic infusions, and temperature measurements. There are even people who come in and clean the room during the night -- t…

Bonus 134 | Learning to Wait Patiently 4:05

1d ago4:05

4:05

We had all thought, rather naively, I suppose, that once this second round of radiation treatments was completed, Hannah would have some time to enjoy just being a typical teenager for awhile before starting chemotherapy treatments. She was excited at the prospect of having a healthy immune system and no longer being isolated. She had not attended …

Anyone who has known me for more than five minutes knows that I am a "control enthusiast."

4d ago3:06

3:06

"Greatly improved." The two most beautiful words in the English language ten years ago today. There were still a lot of questions ... Would Hannah need additional radiation?

One thing about a week-long stay in the hospital ... It sure makes you appreciate a good night's sleep in your own bed!

We were greatly encouraged by the news that the radiation had been effective in shrinking and even eliminating some of the tumors on Hannah's spine and brainstem. It made all the trips back and forth to Little Rock, the painful throat, the isolation ... even the hair loss .. all worthwhile! We understood that this put her in a much more favorable p…
