I hope Hesprit isn't upset that I posted this here, as I found it on the AR boards and I thought everyone who has been reading up on this would like a little update... ~soft smile~

Well, folks, as you can see, I'm not that great at keeping updates available on Hannah's condition, but I wanted to bring you up to date on the latest.
First of all, until recently, Hannah has been doing pretty good. She was also approved for a trip to Disneyworld by the Make A Wish foundation, which is scheduled for March.
More recently, though, there have been some concerns with Hannah's bloodwork. Her blood counts have been a little low, causing some adjustments to her chemo ... but her spirits have been good. She was running a fever last Friday, which prompted a trip to the hospital as a precaution. She was kept overnight, given a transfusion to help the blood counts, and released the next day after a big improvement.
Unfortunately, I found out this afternoon, that apparently the problem was not completely taken care of like everyone thought, because she went back to the local hospital, again with a fever. This time, it was enough that she was taken back to Children's hospital in Pittsburgh by helicopter. Apparently, she was in decent sprits during the flight, even commenting that it was too bad her little brother didn't get to fly too.
I don't have much more information, but I'll update when I do find out more. Once again, though, please keep Hannah and her family in your thoughts and prayers.
