Hannah Emma Edwards 9/5/00 - 20/1/2010

It is with a broken heart that I update you with the news that Hannah, the bravest girl in the world, passed away at 12.55pm on 20th Jan 2010.

She touched so many lives and it was my proudest achievement to be her mummy.

Jan 2010

Well here we are starting a new year. Hannah is fighting on but will not make London this month, her disease has progressed and her bone marrow is struggling, she needs platelets every 3rd day and so many tablets I lose count of what she is to have next.

She managed 5 sessions of radiotherapy directed at a tumour which has grown next to her spine and may be causing the shoulder pain although she has disease in her shoulder too. We were on Ward 27 from Boxing day to the 30th as Hannah was generally unwell and had a scarily high blood pressure which is another reason she will not be able to have the treatment in London. However the main reason is that Hannah is now at home where she feels comfortable, she is not well enough to travel to London and even if she made it through the treatment the benefits at this stage do not outweigh the risks.

Please pray for Hannah, however you pray, whatever you believe in, that she is comfortable, safe and not in pain.

Health and good things for 2010 for you all.
