Just visited Hannah. She's doing well. Carla got to see Hannah's face for the first time without the eye covers that protect her eyes from the light treatments.
The thing taped to Hannah's right hand is a port used for drawing blood samples. The white S-shape on her chest is the catheter used for nutrition and meds. The tape on her face is holding the breathing tube. The black and white wires attached to her left arm and right side are electrodes for the heart monitor. The gold foil teddy-bear covers a body-temperature sensor; the foil keeps the light from the lamps from interfering with the sensor.

Thank you so much for the picture and the explanation. My life pretty much revolves around this precious grandchild and her progress, and seeing her little face lets me know her a little better. My thoughts and prayers are always with you and Carla, too.

Karl,
ReplyDeleteWhat an AWESOME photo! It SO reminds us of when Alex was in the NICU 15 years ago.
We showed the boys the photo and they were thrilled to finally see the precious babe that we have been praying for.
Still praying...
With Love,
Chris, Amy, Alex and Eliot
"She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire can compare with her."
Proverbs 3:15
We love the picture. She is so very very precious. We are praying for your sweet girl, Hannah and for both of you too.

Thanks for the great explanation about Hannah's "gadgets." The two of you & Hannah are in our thoughts, as always.
ReplyDeleteKarl and Carla,
ReplyDeleteDitto on the memories from Chris & Amy in the NICU My Leah was a premmie 16.5 years ago. She's driving now :(
You all are in the Crowell family prayers especially from Leah and me.
Thanks for sharing the picture of precious Hannah.
