The Hanna Family

Sunday, December 20, 2009

Christmas Blessings! The boys looked so adorable today in their Christmas outfits.

We are happy that our Christmas season is winding down. It will be nice to relax and just enjoy family this week. Grandma and Grandpa Hanna are in town. We will have a fun week together and Tuesday will enjoy Shane's 35th birthday. (LOVE YOU SWEETHEART!)

Tomorrow we have the first test for Jonah. They will be doing an upper GI exam to see if he has developed any hernias or other issues from his August surgery that could be causing complications with his appetite. PLEASE pray for Jonah. Right now we dread meal time as we know it will mean holding Jonah down and usually syringe feeding him his formula to assure he gets in the right calories. NOT FUN.

We are praying for a miracle that we will find an answer to Jonah's feeding issues WITHOUT surgery and if it were the only thing I received this Christmas season, I would be the happiest woman on earth.

Merry Christmas!

What is Cerebral Palsy?

Cerebral palsy (CP) is a term used to describe a problem with movement and posture that makes certain activities difficult. Even though someone who has cerebral palsy has problems moving his or her muscles, this is not because there is something wrong with the muscles or nerves. These difficulties are caused because of problems in the brain. The child might have had an injury to the brain, or had a brain that did not develop properly. These problems can affect the way the brain controls movement and posture.

"But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven."

Matthew 9:14

At this time in my life illustrations of the Savior with children are so dear to my heart. When I've thought of Christ and Heavenly Father the past few months I have often thought of them cradling my sweet babies and whispering words of comfort. We will perhaps never understand why these valiant spirits where sent down to such fragile bodies at such a premature time but we do know that God has held them close in his loving embrace over these difficult months.

"God has not ceased to be a God of miracles.

Who shall say that it was not a miracle that by his word the heaven and the earth should be; and by the power of his word man was created of the dust of the earth; and by the power of his word have miracles been wrought?

And if there were miracles wrought then, why has God ceased to be a God of miracles and yet be an unchangeable Being? And behold, I say unto you he changeth not; if so he would cease to be God; and he ceaseth not to be God, and is a God of miracles."

Mormon 9, verses 15-19

"Heal me, O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my Praise."

Jeremiah 17:14
