Hannah has relapsed with ALL Leukemia after being in remission since October of 2010. She has a hard job ahead of her, but she's definitely a fighter! Hannah is a spunky 13 year old. Tons of personality, and not afraid to tell you what she thinks. She loves her family, and has plenty of family to love her. She's the 11th of 12 children, and has always been a cherished blessing since the day she was born. She loves snuggles and keeps us laughing. We love her and cant hardly bear the thought of her having to go through this again. She needs people's prayers and faith that the pain and suffering associated with this will be minimal. She is being treated at Seattle Children's Hospital.

Deanna just got off the phone with Cindy. Hannah's pneumonia is not improving even though she's been on antibiotics for days. They are having to increase her oxygen in order to keep her saturation up. Oxygen mask, IV's, tubes everywhere... making it hard for Cindy to just pick up and cuddle sweet little Hannah. In just a few hours, they will begin procedures on Hannah (port placement (central line), bone marrow aspiration and a spinal fluid draw), and begin Chemo. The hope is that the pneumonia may be cancer-related and the Chemo will help. She expressed her gratitude again and again for the prayers and financial support that's been given thus far. Last time Hannah went through this ordeal, financial worries were a compressing burden on the family that were ever-present. Let's make sure that worry is put to rest this time around! Although Cindy is too busy to take personal calls at this time, she said she loves to read your words of love and support (post here!), and welcomes emails/cards.
