My Sister Hannah
My Little Sister Hannah
Name: Hannah
Age: 6
This little girl is my sister.
One of the Joys in my life.
She's amazing and adorable.
But she has a problem.
Pulminary Artriesia
When she was born, they found a murmur in her heart. She was immediately rushed to NICU.
With further studies they found out that she had a hole in hear heart and dozen of arteries were missing from one half of her heart, only for a miracle to see that an abnormal amount had grown on the other side. Immediately operation dates started appearing. She had to be at least 10 months old for the operation.
She had a 90% chance of not making it.
Since she was a premature baby
I remember sitting the the waiting rooms growing more and more in panic every single day we waited for the surgeon to tell us what day it would be.
Months Dragged By
Finally she had it. It was one of the most tense days of my life. We didn't know if she'd come out of the operating room alive. Or die soon after. Depended on how her Body would take it.
She lived through it. And rejoiced to the Lord.
But on that wonderful day, the nurses were being jerks to me.
They would not allow me to visit my sister on account of my age...
Well they found out I don't submit that easy to them, as I lost my temper and charged through.
One fell over and bumped her head but I was a girl on a mission
When I found my sister...
Her chest was open, you could see the heart pumping.
Cords were coming out from every part of her.
I cried.
I don't know where my parents were but I just stood there and held her little hand. Blinking away tears and telling her that I was there. Of course she was knocked out and couldn't hear me. But I didn't want to leave her side.
I kind of felt that I was in a movie. I didn't seem real to me at all.
When we finally could leave the hospital.
They shoved a feeding tube down her nose and said that she wouldn't ever be able to eat solid food. They told me that she probably wouldn't be able to talk, walk or do anything that could jolt her pacemaker.
But she being the little trooper she was... pulled it out on our first week home. That is when the AWESOME nurses from RUH hospital in Saskatoon decided to let her try solid foods. SHE ATE IT! And has been eating from her mouth since!
Nowadays. My little sister is on constant oxygen. She can READ, WALK, RUN, SING! And she annoys me so much sometimes.
Her favorite song is Victory in Jesus.
She loves making things with Play Doh and Clay.
She wants to get married and have 6 girls!
She Tells people "Jesus Loves you because he loves me!"
And when people ask her why she says.
"Because I'm not scared when i go to my operations. He's with me."
Everyday with her is blessing.
So far we have refused the Heart and Lung transplants.
Because if she were to have them her chances of living is only 50% on operating table and 5 years after.
My family would rather her live the way she is happy and cheerful and if God decides to take this blessing from our lives. He's just taking what was his in the first place. We will see her again in heaven.
My sister might only be 6 years old, but she has amazing faith in her Lord and Savior and tells EVERYONE.
She's our very own little miracle.
And I will love her for forever.
For the little light and surprises she gives me.
She's very much God's gift.
