share a little sunshine.

friday night I went somewhere I do not particularly like going.
this place.

wfbh.
I have been to this place quite a few times.
I had to stay overnight due to an allergic reaction.
I had acl surgery here, and had to stay the night again.
and... I go to the building right next to it all the time for physical therapy.
I actually sometimes refer to it as my home away from home.

but friday I wasnt there for me.
I was there for her.

this is my favorite eleven year old in the whole entire world.
I love love love her to death.
her name is Hannah.

Hannah was born with this super rare blood disease.
and has struggled with it on and off her entire life.
well sometime around June of this year I recieved a phone call from her mom Michelle at around nine at night..
which I didnt think too much about because our families are really close and the summer before last I spent every day with her two children, Hannah and her son Aaron.
so I answered and heard Michelle crying. the first thing she said was Hannah was in the hospital.
my heart sank.
I knew that she hadnt been feeling the greatest but I didnt know it was this bad.
so I called my mom and dad and told them what was going on and my dad went straight to the hospital.

to make a long story short the hospital and doctors had no idea what was wrong.
she ended up having her gallbladder removed and was sent to a liver specialist in Chicago.
this guy was supposed to be the number one liver doctor in the world...
but for whatever reason he had no idea what to do.

so back home she came.
I have never been so worried about someone.
I along with everyone else that attends my church prayed for her daily.
and I was constantly checking in on her.

we were all extremely worried and she was beginning to only get worse.

then a miracle happened and she began to get better.

well she has still not been one hundred percent so the doctors decided to remove her spleen.
and they did that on thursday.
so friday I went to the hospital...
when I got there she was sleeping.
and I heard all the wonderful stories about her bluntness with the doctors and nurses.

let me tell you a little bit about hannah.
she will tell you how it is...
for example.
after her surgery she didnt want any lights on and so the nurses would use flashlights when they came in the rooms.
well hannah didnt like that too much so she told them that their flashlights were a little bright.

she has no tact but that is one of the reasons I love her so much.
she is like one my best friends.
she is my little sister.
and my world is a lot happier with her a part of it.
she is a small piece of sunshine(:

I love her so much.
and I am happy to say she got out of the hospital today.

I am so proud of how strong she is and has been through this whole process.

keep your head up hannah.
God has you in his hands.
