Hannah Thomas
Hannah had a better night last night. Her breathing has improved and their is a chance that she will be moved to the step down unit today. Jude and I are frazzled but our family and friends have offered us the kindest and most hopeful expressions of love and support.
Cannot say thank you enough.
Here is a photo of Hannah and her big brother taken in happier times.
One last note. People who have read Learning from Hannah and In the Arms of Elders know that Hannah plays the role of teacher in those books. Well, in the ICU the professor asked if students could listen to her lung sounds because she had something called tubular breath sounds. We said sure. It was good to see Hannah teaching those medical students something important and useful.
One more last note. What is it with girls these days. They love to show the belly button--- Dad does not approve!!!!

p.s. I really, really love the photo - thanks for "baring" Hannah’s belly shot:)
Bill and family,
Ellen and I have you in our thoughts and prayers.
We are encouraged by Hannah's progress today.

Dr. Thomas:
I just checked the website today and did not realize what your family is going through until now. I will keep all of you in my prayers. It was good to see she had a good night and is doing better.
Hannah and Haleigh have touched all of our lives through you. It is both evident and beautiful through your teaching and writing that your girls are deeply inspirational to you. In turn, that depth, passion, and love has been passed to both MAgS classes (and so many others).
Thank you for sharing that gift and inspiring us to view things in a different way and to remember that what is truly most important is to love.
Diana
Bill & Jude,
So happy Hannah is home! Still sending positive energy.

Dr. Thomas,
Thank you for being so open and sharing Hannah's struggles with all of us. Hannah is a special young lady and the Thomases are a special family. It is so obvious to me now where your strength and inspiration comes from. May God continue to bless you and your family.
