From De Anna:

I spoke with Cindy around noon. Hannah seems a bit stronger today – more alert – and for that they are grateful! They are still at Seattle Children’s hospital. Maybe it’s for the best; Mark got stuck in Friday night traffic and arrived later than expected, Hannah was worn out from the trip to Seattle in the wee hours Friday morning and a trip back that night would have taken its toll, and the Transfer Coordinator there at Children’s will not be back till Monday morning to process Hannah out. So for now they are waiting.

Hannah has been moved from IV antibiotics to oral, from oxygen mask to cannula (which she HATES) and things there in her room have slowed down to a snail’s pace as nurses and staff are no longer rushing in and out, but awaiting her departure. One of Hannah’s big sisters is flying into Seattle tonight. They have a very special bond and Hannah is so excited to see her. Cindy says that when Hannah sees someone she loves it’s like all the excitement and surprise of opening a present – wonderful for a good five minutes! That’s all she needs to brighten her day.

Cindy says that, although she recognizes they have exhausted the available medical options, she is still full of hope. She recited just a few of the miracles our Savior performed while here on earth, and testified that she knows miracles still occur every day. Cindy’s will is aligned with our Heavenly Father’s and her heart is open and hopeful about what is to come.
