Day 39, A New Voice

Hannah's up another ounce or so, to 2 lbs 6 oz. Carla got to kangaroo with her this afternoon, and we just got back from our evening visit.

Nothing else new to report., but we have a special guest blogger this evening, who many of you have been waiting to hear from:

Dear Ones,

It's taken me awhile, but I want you to know how much Karl and I appreciate your kind words of sympathy and support. So many of you have sent us cards, notes, and offers of help that it would take weeks to thank you each personally. But we truly have been touched and reminded how much we can be thankful for.

We've been through a terrible ordeal we didn't expect and couldn't avoid; I hope none of you will ever have to experience the same kind of loss. We'll never fully recover, but we will adjust. It will take some time; each day I can't stop from thinking what could and should have been. Even so, we have a beautiful baby girl to help us.

Hannah still has many challenges ahead of her, and it will be months before we can bring her home. But we have every hope that she will eventually be well and have a normal life. Please keep her in your thoughts, and feel free to monitor her progress every day on the blog. Karl adds something to it daily.

When I'm feeling emotionally stronger, I hope to see you and thank you again. Hannah is lucky to come into a world where she has so many friends already.

Love, Carla

  1. It was so good to hear from you, Carla. My thoughts are always with you and Hannah and Karl, too. You are being such a good mom, and I'm eager to be an active grandma.

Comments will be added to the blog as soon as we see them. This delay is needed to keep spammers from using Hannah's blog to advertise junk and spread viruses. -- Karl
