In the spring of this year Hanni began to have more and more signs that something was wrong but, she hoped it was just stress, nothing a little clean eating and exercise wouldn’t cure but, hard as she tried and hoped, things just didn’t turn around. A trip to the ER at the insistence of her brother Evan may have saved things from getting much worse. After a battery of tests and medical visits Hanni was diagnosed with Myelodysplastic Syndrome. Her treatment is being supervised by the team at UCSD Moore’s Cancer Center. In short, this means her bones have stopped making marrow, so her body cannot produce blood cells thus requiring blood transfusions every few weeks. She must have a bone marrow transplant soon, and until a donor becomes available the blood transfusions are needed to sustain her life.
We are praying they soon find a donor match because the “good days” she is afforded between transfusions are becoming fewer and her energy is gone. This once strong lovely dancer is praying for a time to heal. The team at UCSD have told us that the treatment and healing process are a big ordeal. When the donor is found she will have 5 days of chemo followed by the transplant. She will likely be in the hospital for 5 weeks, if all goes well, and then she will be in recovery for the next year while she is carefully monitored (the body will think the new bone marrow is hers and will start attacking Hanni’s own organs) and given immunosuppressant, to give the body time to adjust and make peace with itself.
During this time she will need 24-7 care and because of that her mother Gladi will not be able to hold down a job. What is needed? Hanni has been out of work for months due to illness, and Gladi has been working a few part time jobs to help them get by. Hannalee and Gladi need general financial help for the extra expense from this kind of medical situation, as well as some specific items that the hospital team has told us will help her through this year long journey. Hanni needs prayer and she needs encouragement. Due to the vulnerability of her immune system visitors will be carefully checked at the nurses station or perhaps not allowed depending on her numbers, but cards of encouragement will be just what the doctor ordered! Please give and please pray:
For a Donor match
For protection from infection, and that her body will not reject the transplant
For healing and mercy
For awareness of God’s Hand on her present and her future.
For her heart that it will remain hopeful.
For Gladi to be a strong caregiver and that her financial needs are met.
Please pray as God leads you and many thanks from Hanni, Gladi, and the rest of the Human family for extending your hand to them in this season of great need.
Hanni will be living at her Aunt Carol’s house for the year of immune therapy because the hospital requires her to be in close proximity.

Hanni's new bone marrow is still not making enough blood. yesterday she had a liver biopsy so the doctors could see if they need to change medications or if she has graft vs host disease
I cannot thank each of you enough, both for your prayers and your gifts. This allows me to care for my sweet daughter. My sister and her husband have come alongside to allow me much needed days off. Hanni has a new challenge: she has developed gout, and it is so bad she can barely walk. The doctors have tried several things, but with no results. Unfortunately, they can't give her the standard gout medication because of her transplant. Rock and a hard place. Please pray for God's solution for this very painful ailment. Thank you.
Hanni had a successful transplant Friday, Oct. 11. She will remain in the hospital now until her white blood count reaches an acceptable level, then she will go to her Aunt Carol and Uncle Bill's house in Fallbrook, and will stay there until her new bone marrow doesn't fight with her body any longer. This will take several months. Visitors and cards are welcome both at her aunt's house or the hospital. Please call for directions before you come. Thank you sooo much for caring, praying, and giving.
Great news!!! A DONOR HAS BEEN FOUND!!! Hanni got the call today. Her transplant will take place in early October, with continued testing in mid to late September. Thank the Lord!!
We would also be grateful for any fundraisers you or someone you know would like to do in Hanni's name to help us reach our goal. Thank you
