Samuel & Alissa Sanchez, (Colombia, DPG Day 22)
Hannah is home after 11 days in hospital. Her pain is under control through a patch. She was given Critical Home care, so therapists and her GP come to the house. She is now a patient in one of the best research hospitals in Colombia. PTL! Despite all her struggles, Hannah smiles, is kind, and is thankful to the medical staff.
