I just wanted to share the good news that Hannah is out of the hospital (after spending two nights there, she got out yesterday evening).
I just talked with her this morning and she is still in quite a bit of pain when she is walking or moving around, but she was very excited that the pain has gone down significantly when she is sitting. At this point she is still planning on being in the wedding, and just "dealing" with the pain. She is veeery excited about this, and grateful that her Shingles are not contagious.
She was given a shot of steroids for the pain in the nerve in her back that should last for a month. She is also taking some new medications for the pain and to get rid of the Shingles.
We're not sure how long it will take to get rid of the Shingles (and the pain). The Dr.'s say it could be from a couple months to a couple years.
Hannah specifically asked that you all please pray that her pain would continue to go down (when she's walking her pain is about an "8"). Also please pray that the Shingles goes away SOONER rather than later. :)
Thanks soooo much!

I'll keep praying. I know my Grandma had shingles a few years ago and was better in months rather than years. I hope the healing comes quickly!
