Communication Post Tonsils
Seems appropriate to relaunch a bit with a Hannah hospital story. This, though, is a planned visit. Hannah is in overnight with Janette, post-tonsil out surgery. We're hoping this helps her get through, over, and done with sleep apnea. If it does, we'll all be sleeping much more soundly & maybe ditching the last of the O2 equipment (we hope we hope we hope).
Anyway, the two funny cute moments tonight were:
- The night nurse came in to take Hannah's vitals and introduce herself. It was past 7:30pm, and Wheel of Fortune was on: probably Hannah's favorite show. After a quick blood pressure & vitals check, the nurse hung out for a bit. Hannah craned her neck to see the tv over the nurse; then, still staring at the tv, absently dismissed the nurse with a princess wave of her hand. Ah, so Hannah! Gotta compliment her communication skills.
- Next, as I prepared to leave (Janette has spent all day w/ Hannah & will be her night companion tonight - major trooper!), Hannah, still without looking from the tv, said, "Bye bye." Not sadly. Kind of absently. Still pretty cute.
Hope she and Janette manage to sleep tonight & come home as scheduled tomorrow.

Glad to hear everything went well! Hope they come home tomorrow.
I can understand how Hannah wouldn't want to miss a second of "the wheel"!

Thanks for your comment. Yes, they did come home (actually quite early this morning). Hannah seems no worse for the wear, and we're hoping the sleep apnea will improve now. We'll see probably in a few days how things are going.
