Just wanted you to know that I was rearranging Jessica's room and she has this Angel statue holding a baby and by chance I looked on the bottom of it and it said in bold letters HANNAH, "I'll always be near". I got goose bumps. I will email a picture of it just so you see it for yourself. It was so, I'm not sure how to describe it but I thought you would like to know that. Our girls will forever be bonded in some way. I hope all is well and is getting better. We think of you often. Take care.

Scott and Jill,
I met you both at the Onyx and Breezy Foundation charity event and I really wanted to tell you how sorry I was for your loss and let you know how sad I was about Hannah.
It wasn't the time or place, so I just wanted to come by here and let you know that you're in my prayers and I think you are both amazing people.
Stay strong.

Dear Scott,

I met you today at your store. We discussed Hannah and then you proceeded to donate some memorabilia to my students for their event for Lou Gehrig's Disease. This act of kindness was so appreciated and I am touched that you wanted to help us out. I want you to know that Northport H.S. and myself will return the favor and help you out in any capacity. My work phone is 631-262-6704.
What a beautiful baby.
Thanks again for your donation, generosity, and kind words. We are all in this together.

Hi Scott and Jill,

I still come by your site to check on you and Hannah. I hope the new home is a place of great future joy but many good memories of the past, too. I thought of you yesterday on Thanksgiving—I"m thankful you were generous enough to share your beautiful daughter with all of us. Hannah is still such an inspiration and always will be.

Dear Scott and Jill
The Rauch family is looking forward to helping plan the first event for Hannah's foundation. We will celebrate her for what she has done for the world of Storage diseases and her brave parents for what they are going to do to help so many families. I know that you said you are afraid that Hannah is off people's radar but I know with the beginning of your foundation your friends and family will regroup and be behind you 100%.

Dear Scott,
I am so glad that Kevin and I met you last night. I could have stood with you all night and listened to you tell me stories about your beautiful daughter. I am so sorry that she is not here with you and your family anymore. I could feel your overwhelming pain and sadness. I don't understand how such horror can befall on children. In some way I feel like they are angels, too special too live as we do. But none of that makes it any more bearable. We are here for you. Kev will be in with the kids to get some sports stuff. My son Benj is really excited about that. When I told him about Hannah he told me, "I think she is with Nathan". Nathan was Ben and Zach's triplet that we lost. He knows he's in heaven. Stay well, one breath at a time. Love, Robin

Dear Jill and Scott:
Hopefully we can get a chance to see the new digs sometime this weekend. I am so happy that you have changed residences and moved closer hopefully an effort to see more of each other is on the horizon. I was happy you were in attendance to my daughter's celebration, it meant a great deal to my wife and me. Tough roads sometimes take you eventually to a good place and that is how we felt that evening after almost a 18 months of bumps and lumps with Nikki she was shining brightly. We love you guys and please let us know if you are around.
Love

Herzog again.........Scott and Jill, I hope the both of you are doing well. So many thoughts cross my mind every time I make an entry into this guestbook. I have been entering these entries for well over a year, with a some four month period, almost on a daily basis, and now when I type, so many memories fill my mind. We as humans go through so much as we live our lives, and some of us go through more than our fair share. I hope the move has/or is going well. Let me know if I can be of any more service than I have been. Missing you Scott, and still praying for you and Jill to have all your dreams come into fruitition. As always Love Joe

Scott and Jill,
I think about you guys all of the time. I know that I only took care of Hannah for one weekend, but she really made an impression on me (as did your entire family!) I've wanted to write a note to you for awhile, but I'm never quite sure what exactly to say. I'll just say this, you are both wonderful parents and I truely feel blessed to have been involved in Hannah's care, even if it was only for a couple of days. I also must tell you how much I love seeing Hannah's picture. It brings a smile to my face everytime I see it. I wish you both the very best.

hi jill and scott,

it was great getting an update from you even though we live "down the hall." with the busy schedules you and we have, it is hard to see each other but please know that i check hannah's web page often and think of her (and you both) every day. while moving can be a really trying experience physically, it can be a happy and good experience as well. you will be taking hannah with you in your hearts and, as always, bob and i wish you both the very best of health and new happy memories. keep updating so i can be in the loop of the foundation.

Herzog again......Hope this entry finds the both of you in good health and spirits. Is the move into the new house complete yet, or will this be a saga. So many thoughts of the past year have been so muddled in my brain recently that my span of attentiveness has suffered. We have been through so much and yet we must continue to live our lives each day. Scott and Jill, as in the past, I continue to wish for the both of you solace in the fact that your life as a couple is really just beginning, and Hannah will always be there for the both of you, in your memories and your emotional well-being. Her strength embodies who the both of you are. I only wish I was in charge of wishes and I could grant you both as many wishes as you desire, you've earned that right. AS always, Love Joe

We wish you well and know that a new start will be fun and interesting and there will be memories of Hannah with you. Make her a special memory in the new place too and you will feel close.

She shines down from heaven- a sweet little angel.

God Bless you and may the peace of the holy spirit comfort you daily.

I do not know you or your family, but I feel such a need to hear what is happening with you guys. I pray for you often. Even in your pain, the L-rd is there. I know that He is touched when your heart is heavy and that He will never leave you.
May this new year bring you closer to His presence-- more than you could ever imagine!

In His Love,

Hyper was not descriptive enough to describe your actions, even over the phone. You sounded like you just has a lesson from Evelyn Woods. Remember, something I now tell myself every day, be thankful and be aware ot your blessings in your life, for life is short and we should not miss one day where we don't appreciate what we have, of had. The both of you still have so much in your young lives to look forward to, please try to appreciate this and revel in your memories of Hannah, cause our memories, dreams and emotions are what sustain us. As always, love Joe

hi guys,

just checking in to say hi and to tell you that even as time does pass by so quickly i continue to think about hannah and smile as i do. she always made me smile and i looked forward to meeting her in the lobby/hallway, etc. to brighten my day. i check this site often to smile at her adorable picture and see how you are all doing. hope you are hanging in there and not too stressed with all the work a new home entails. it does get easier when the painters/contractors/electricians/plumbers,etc are finished and the house really then becomes yours. enjoy and much good luck and may you make many happy, healthy memories there.

Scott and Jill,
Thank you so much for being such wonderful people!! Through our entire journey with Anna, you guys wew there to offer support in any way that you could. I can't imagine how hard it must be to see Anna and Jessica doing so well, and wondering what you could have done differently to change the outcome. You can't wonder though, you guys were wonderful parents and you did everything you possibly could. Just from the way the nurses on 4A and the RMH staff talk about you I know how great of parents you were to little Hannah. Now her name will live on forever with your wonderful foundation you are setting up to help others going through this rough time. Just know that we are so fortunate to have you guys and Hannah, Julie wouldn't have even known about transplant if it wasn't for your article, and I know for a fact that I wouldn't have made it through the entire process if I didn't prepare myself by reading every single one of your journal entries. I just want you to know that little Hannah Mollie was truly a blessing to our families and we will never forget that. Please let us know if my family can do anything to help with the foudation, events etc. I can't wait until the day we can finally meet and you can show me all of the pictures of your beautiful angel. And even though we will be going home soon, we won't forget about you!! I hope we can still keep in touch, and I will continue to check the site to see how you are doing. Always in my thoughts and prayers, Che

Herzpg again...........Saw Scott last week prior to vacationing and to all who check in, he is looking very good. I hope that all is well with Scott and Jill together, as I truly believe that Scott and Jill together can overcome anything and probably give all of us teachings in how to cope. Even though I don't check in on a daily basis, I still think of Hannah everyday, and those thoughts give me strength. Such a tiny soul, with the heart of a lion, I learned so much in such a short time from Scott and Jill and Hannah, that my life did change. I continue to wish Scott and Jill all the happiness that they so richly deserve. Good luck in the move. As always Love Joe

~I'm Your Angel~

No mountain's too high
for you to climb,
All you have to do
is have some climbing faith.

No river's too wide
for you to make it across,
All you have to do
is believe it when you pray.

And then you will see
the morning will come,
And everyday will be
bright as the sun,

All of your fears
cast them on me,
I just want you to see...

I'll be your cloud up in the sky,
I'll be your shoulder when you cry,
I'll hear your voices when you call me,
I am your angel.

And when all hope is gone, I'm here,
No matter how far you are, I'm near,
It makes no difference who you are,
I am your angel...
I'm your angel...

I saw the tear drops,
and I heard you cry.
All you need is time,
seek me and you shall find,

You have everything and you're lonely,
It don't have to be this way,
let me show you a better day.

And then you will see
the morning will come,
And everyday will be
bright as the sun,

All of your fears
cast them on me,
How can I make you see...

I'll be your cloud up in the sky,
I'll be your shoulder when you cry,
I'll hear your voices when you call me,
I am your angel.

And when all hope is gone, I'm here,
No matter how far you are, I'm near,
It makes no difference who you are,

And when it's time to face the storm,
I'll be right by your side,
Grace will keep us safe and warm,
I know we will survive.

And when it seems as if your end is drawing near,
Don't you dare give up the fight,
Just put your trust beyond the skies....

I'll be your cloud up in the sky,
I'll be your shoulder when you cry,
I'll hear your voices when you call me,
I am your angel.

And when all hope is gone, I'm here,
No matter how far you are, I'm near,
It makes no difference who you are,
I am your angel,
I'm your angel...

Reminding you Hannah's your sweet angel

Dear Jill & Scott,

I hope that the wonderful memories that you hold deep within your hearts will give you the strength to keep your beautiful daughters' memory alive and vibrant. I hope that some day soon all of your efforts will bring the world closer to a cure for this horrendous disease.

I continue to think about you and Hannah. I look forward to the foundation you will create in her memory. As so many others have said, it would be an honor to help in any way possible. Take care!

Hello Jill and Scott! I, too, look at Hannah's, Anna's and Jessica's site everyday. It is good to see both the babies' progress and your family's. Che and Anna are VERY good friends of mine and thanks to your little girl, they have a great chance at life. I want you to know that I think your little girl is the most adorable baby ever! I show everyone that comes to my house her picture on the site! She is too cute! God Bless and good luck with everything!

Well there you are. I look at this site at least weekly if not a few times a week. I find strength in those beautiful eyes. I always look for messages from you and Jill as I believe so many others do. We worry about you both and how you are doing each day. I am excited about the foundation and the first event. Please let us help and brainstorm as I believe this foundation will be so special and accomplish so many things. Give me a call so we can make it happen. Don't be afraid to ask all those you have helped throughout the years to be part of this special project. Stay well and good luck with the move.

Hi guys. Whenever your first event is with the foundation, Tom and I would love to try to come out to NY and give our support. Because of your family and Hannah, you gave Jessica and Anna life that we thought they could never have. We will always be grateful for what you did. We think it was fate for us seeing the NY Times article on Hannah back in December and would have never knew anything about UofM if it weren't for your family. So if there is anything you need from us or for this foundation, please just let us know. We will do anything we can for you guys. You are always in our thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

I read your baby Hannah's story in NY times while I was home on a maternity leave last year. It touched me so deeply- partly because I was a new mom with a baby daughter and partly because I am a scientist in biotech industry working on lysosomal storage diseases, including Niemann-Pick B. In June this year, I organized a company team to participate in a fundraising walk event for Boston Children's Hospital - something I've never thought about doing before. We walked for Hannah, and raised together about $1800. I just wanted to let you know that she will be living in my heart forever, one in millions of hearts she had touched. I would like to continue help happiness and wellness of lives of many children in need, and she will always be remembered every time. Thank you for having brought Hannah to this world. I am forever in debt to her for filling my heart with such powerful love.

I stumbled upon your website from a link on Baby Jessica's site. I have been following hers since she was featured in our local newspaper. I cannot imagine what it is like to venture on a journey such as yours. Based on what I've learned from your site and from Jessica's -- I will tell anyone I know or come across that is having a baby or thinking about it to consider the cord blood program. I hope you're able to find peace in knowing Hannah is now an angel sitting on her Grandpa's lap as the two of them watch over you.

I view Hannah's site often. My family and I pray for you both-- always remembering you. It is amazing to me that your beautiful little princess has touched so many, including us. May the name of Hannah Mollie Stimmell be forever engraved on the hearts of countless numbers of people as you continue to share her life and yours with others.
We will keep believing for you both to have all that you do prosper--

In Love,

Hi Jill & Scott,

I hope you guys are doing well. As you approach the 6 month mark, I am thinking about you both. I just passed my mom's 6 month mark and it isn't getting any easier. I think about you both and Hannah every day and hope that you guys are well. I am very much looking forward to the foundation's first event! I will be there!! Good luck on the new house! Stay strong and stay tough because that is what Hannah would have wanted you to do!! You still have a lot of people who love you and think about you. We may not write every day, but little Hannah is in our minds.. I also check Jessica & Anna's sites and every so often, one of them writes that they spoke with you guys and that you have been so supportive and motivating for them.. Keep up the great work!!!

All my love,

Morning Scott and Jill....it's been awhile since I've popped in to say hello, but for some reason this morning, Hannah's been on my mind. Wanted to let you know your precious daughter touches a lot of people's hearts and mine is sending a hug to heaven especially for Hannah. Heard you were moving...congratulations! We have somewhat of a connection through that neighborhood...my best friend, Jenn, her brother in law and sis in law live about 2-3 houses from your new home! I'm sure this move will be bittersweet, as you and Jill have shared so much in LB. But Hannah will live with you no matter what town you are in. And of course, the memories...scary and fun, at the same time, huh? I heard a quote once, that sticks with me "Don't be sad that it is over, but smile because it happened" Your time with Hannah was short, but so profound. Her big, brown beautiful eyes melted everyone who was lucky to know her. (And even those who never met her)
Just wanted to send a hello your way, let you know that your Hannah is never forgotten. And of course, keep us updated on the foundation and its first event.

Words from an Angel

I have not turned my back on you,
So there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from Heaven,
Just beyond the morning sky.
I've seen you almost fall apart,
When you could barely stand.
I asked the Lord to comfort you,
And watched him take your hand.
He told me you are in more pain,
Than I could ever be.
He wiped his eyes and swallowed hard,
Then gave your hand to me.
Although you may not feel my touch,
Or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you,
While I wiped each tear you cried.
So please try not to ache for me,
We'll meet again one day.
Beyond the dark and stormy sky,
A rainbow lights the way.

Homesick by Mercy Me

You're in a better place, I've heard a thousand times
And at least a thousand times I've rejoiced for you
But the reason why I'm broken, the reason why I cry
Is how long must I wait to be with you

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

Help me Lord cause I don't understand your ways
The reason why I wonder if I'll ever know
But, even if you showed me, the hurt would be the same
Cause I'm still here so far away from home

I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
I've never been more homesick than now

In Christ, there are no goodbye
And in Christ, there is no end
So I'll hold onto Jesus with all that I have
To see you again
To see you again

And I close my eyes and I see your face
If home's where my heart is then I'm out of place
Lord, won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow
Won't you give me strength to make it through somehow

I've never been more homesick than now

Scott,

It was a pleasure meeting you today at your store and I wanted to reiterate how much I admire and am grateful to you for showing my mother and I those pictures of Hannah's tragically short life. You spoke with such obvious affection and as you say, your story is monumental and one that needs to be told to a wider populace. This is an age where increased public knowledge about genetic testing and stem cell research needs to be married with a story of how far parents will go for the well-being of their child. I wish you all the best in the future and I will be in touch. Take care of you and yours, you're a good man.

Herzog again................Hope the two of you are feeling strong and facing all there is to face. Scott, I have been meaning to come by your store recently, but have not been feeling well, and coupled that I am trying to work a full schedule, well, I will try to see you soon. Life sure does have a way of putting us in the game and forcing us to either get up and walk to the plate with a bat, of just sit there and be called out on strikes. A rather ridiculous analogy, put one that just came to mind after watching the Yankees almost make a great comeback on Old Timers Day in the Bronx. AS I have not been feeling well, I have been thinking all that we went through this past winter, and tears come to mind, but an overpowering emotional strenght, for both of us did not sit back and wait, we became proactive and fought. This has been said more times that I care to count, but you and Jill should be so proud of yourselves, for your resiliancy, compassion, strength,love and caring for Hannah, that those months you spent with her should give you all the strength you need to tackle anything that should be thrust upon you. (another sport analogy). The memories you have to share with eachother are enough to last a lifetime. Hannah was so beautiful, such a fighter, resiliant in her own right, and even though a short lived life, the three of you lived more in 8 months that most people live in a lifetime. I am in no way saying that its ok that her life was short, I'm just saying that we all have to look at the positive side and get enjoyment out of everything, cancer taught me that. Life is too short for those of us who manage to live, and not one day should be wasted. I do hope that I see you soon and that many people who signed in many months ago begin to do so again, just to allow those of us who began to follow eachothers lives through this site can keep in touch. So many of us connected through Hannah and yourselves. God bless you stimells, as always Love Joe

I came across your link on another girl's page and I read your entries. I have never been so inspired. All of your writings about Hannah and to her were very, very touching. I got pregnant at a young age. I have a little boy who's 1 1/2 and some days I'm so overwhelmed, but your story made me go home and hold him a little tighter and thank the lord he's healthy. I am so sorry for your loss. It is just not fair. Hannah was so lucky to have parents like you, and she was such a beautiful little angel. My thoughts and prayers are with you always.

Gaylord, MN - Wednesday, June 29, 2005 2:58 PM CDT

Herzog again...............Hope this short note finds the two of you in a place of contentment. AS time passes for me, my mind losses the realizations that I discovered during my battle last winter. I do think differently about life and its inner meanings, both the high and the depths of despair. Time for me unfortunately is not working the way its supposed to, but I am now aware of certain visualizations that my eyes have not seen before. My doctors and freinds alike, tell me this is good and that one should not beat oneself up just because one cannot hang on to everything. Cannot hang on to all the good, positive, and emotionally uplifting thoughts that you think can get you through eveything. Live each day, live each hour, and try to get as much life and happiness out of the day and hour as you can. When you think of this, not bad advice. I bestow this advice onto the both of you, but being the intelligent and caring people you are, you probably know this (but it never hurts to hear it from someone who cares for the two of you as much as I do, and your family and friends). Everyone justs wants the best for you, even though our communication skills may be lacking. I will say in touch (on the phone), as every time I visit your store, I spent 1,000 times more than I want to. As always Love JOe

Scott,
I realized after leaving you the other day that I didn't wish you a happy father's day. I hope that you were able to have a peaceful, reflective day. Like I told you, you've been through more than most people deserve to go through in a lifetime. I wish both you and Jill only happy times ahead.

Scott and Jill,
Hi it's Che again. I was just thinking about you and Hannah so I wanted to let you know, and get on the site to see those beautiful brown eyes staring back at me. You haven't written in a while, so I hope it is because you are so busy and everything is going well with you and your lives. I can't wait to meet you guys someday because you are such wonderful people. You will make a difference with this disease, you already have so much more than you know! I hope the days are getting a little easier for the two of you. Just know that all of my family and friends think about you all of the time. You are in our thoughts and prayers daily. Love, Che

Herzog again..................The wheather here is as unpredictable as my emotional spirits. On any given day, I can't make is out of bed, and have a hard time facing life at home and in my office. My oncologist has lovingly informed me that this is all normal, and that my mood swings, along with my energy levels will return to a more normal state within one year after chemo treatments ended. I state all this for I know that the both of you go through very similar swings. The best medicine, change the picture, get up, and get out. Keep your mind active and warm yourselves in the loving memories of Hannah and yourselves. Your two have had such a tramatic ordeal over this past year, that I don't think anyone can really comprehend, but we can sympathize. The both of you are strong, compassionate, loving and giving human beings, who have sacrificed so much, it's now time to treat yourselves good. Bask in the rays of friendship, family and time for eachother, and over a period of time, you will feel better. I really don't have any profundities, except that G-d watches out and over special people, and the both of you are two very ones. As always, Love Joe

HI SCOTT AND JILL,
It was great seeing the two of you the other night at the benefit after so long,I was only sad i never got to meet Hannah. although after spending sometime with you and jill and seeing her pictures i almost feel like i did. Your story of what you have been thru the past year left me thinking how precious our lives really are. Reading this website and guest book really showed how many lives baby Hannah touched in a very short time. I wish you guys the very best. Andrew and Karen

Hi Jill & Scott! I'm Che's Aunt. I've written before but not in awhile. Today is one of those days where I've been reading the postings on Anna's site and also Jessica's site. I thought of you, too and I just wanted to drop you a line and let you know that the three of you are still in our prayers. Beautiful Hannah will always be with you! I pray that God gives you both the strength to get through each day because I know -- no, I don't know -- how hard this must be for you. I can only imagine. So, take care and thanks so much for being there for both Anna and Jessica's families - it means alot to them! Anita Phillips

We're still always thinking about you. Hope you guys are doing ok, Anthony will occasionally say "Hannah" and considering he is blind,so he hasnt seen a picture of her it makes me wonder if Hannah whispers in his ear!. I think she does. they never met, but they know that we have a connection, and so do they. I just want you to know how much we think of you and that beautiful Hannah Mollie.

I hope you don't take this wrong way but I hope someday you will consider raising a child in whatever way because you seem to be such loving people and the way you were so loving with Hannah. You deserve to be someone's parents. Don't let that gift go to waste. Someone out there needs you. You two a such wonderful caring people.

"To my dearest friends and family,
some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know,
that I arrived okay.

I'm writing this from heaven.
Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness;
Here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every
morning, noon and night.

That day I had to leave you
when my life on earth was through.
God picked me up and hugged me and
He said, "I welcome you".

"It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone.
As for your friends and family,
They'll be here later on.

I need you here badly,
you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do,
to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things,
that he wished for me to do, and
foremost on the list,
was to watch and care for you.

And I will be beside you
every day and week and year
and when you're sad
I'm standing there to wipe away the tear.

And when you lie in bed at night
the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you..
in the middle of the night.

do not be afraid to cry,
it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you
all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.

But one thing is for certain,
though my life on earth is o'er,
I'm closer to you now than
I ever was before.

And to my very many friends
trust God knows what is best,
I'm still not far away from you
I'm just beyond the crest.

There are many rocky roads
ahead of you and
many hills to climb;
But together we can do it by
taking one day at a time.

If you can help somebody
who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God
at night...
"My day was not in vain".

And now I am contented....
that my life was worthwhile.
Know as I passed along the way
I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody
who is sad and feeling low,
Just lend a hand to pick him up,
as on your way you go.

When you're walking down the street
and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in you footsteps
only half a step behind.

And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face,
that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace.

And when it's time for you to go
....from that body to be free.
Remember you're not going..
..you're coming here to me.

And I will always love you
from that land way up above.
Will be in touch again soon.

P.S. God sends His Love

Hey stranger,

Have been trying to connect by phone, but you are so busy. Just came back from a much needed vacation to FLA. It was great, very relaxing and a time to re-connect with family. I know you have heard all the sayings...time heals all wounds blah, blah, blah, but I'm not sure that is so true and I just hope you and Jill find some rays of sunshine in the bleakest of days. Let's move this foundation forward and put a name, face and mission in place for beautiful Hannah. Ask and you shall receive. Love, the Jones Family

Dear Scott and Jill,
I all too well recall "the going through the motions" part of losing a child. Please know how much you continue to be in my prayers. There's a song by Mark Schultz entitled "He Will Carry Me". The words never cease to minister to me and I pray they will comfort you too.

Mark Schultz - He Will Carry Me

I call, You hear me
I’ve lost it all
And it’s more than I can bear
I feel so empty
You’re strong
I’m weary
I’m holdin’ on
But I feel like givin’ in
But still You’re with me

Chorus:
And even though I’m walkin’ through
The valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of Him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I’ve been wounded in the battle
He is all the strength that I will ever need
He will carry me

I know I’m broken
But You alone
Can mend this heart of mine
You’re always with me

Chorus:

And even though I feel so lonely
Like I’ve never been before
You never said it would be easy
But You said you’d see me through
The storm

May the Lord continue to be your ever present source of strength and comfort. Allow Him to carry you!

Blessings to you and yours.
Sheila & Jim Reese

Herzog again..............Scott and Jill.........Summer is upon us and you are still in Long Beach. I know Scott is working 8 days a week now and 10 hours a day, but it is time to enjoy where you live, before the big move to Huntington, whenever that may be. For so many years, the Long Beach Board Walk I'm sure has been of some solace during times of uncertaintly and saddnes. I only wish I lived on the water as the sound of the ocean to me has over the years, been more of a relaxing sedative than drugs. I hope the two of you, with time on your side have started the long climb to normalcy, and whatever that may include. I really do wish the best for you both, you two who have fought a war, you two who have given so much of yourselves, you two have shown that compassion and love can overcome all, you two who have survived, and you two who will live on with the beautiful memories of Hannah to sustain you both in your time of sorrow and saddness. As always, love Joe

hi jill and scott,

just a brief note to tell you that the other morning i was doing some house chores and i had regis and kelly on in the background and caught only the tail end of a story he was telling kelly and he was referring to that damn neiman pick disease. i did not hear the whole story but it seemed that a family friend had a child who died shortly after being diagnosed with neiman pick and regis was telling the audience how hard it was for both the child and family. i answered the t.v. "he should only know." anyway, at least he mentioned it and was seemingly genuinely saddened by this awful disease and he wanted to make viewers aware of how important stem cell work really is. just wanted to share that with you and tell you again you and hannah are always in my thoughts and prayers. hope you have a nice memorial day weekend and i'll see you around the building.

love, terri and bob

Scott and Jill- I saw this on a website of a child that died of cancer,
this child wanted this on his site and even planned his own funeral- he was 17
-so how amazing and full of faith is that- he was ready to meet God and wanted to go.........
I wanted to share this and let you know you are not alone!!!!
Many prayers and thoughts are with you and Hannah will always, always be loved!!!!

God saw you getting tired
And a cure was not to be
So He put His arms around you
And whispered "Come with me"

Although we loved you dearly
We could not make you stay
A golden heart stopped beating
Hard working hands at rest

God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best
It's lonesome here without you
We miss you everyday

And life will never be the same
Since you have gone away

When days are sad and lonely
And everything goes wrong
We seem to hear you whisper
"Cheer up and carry on"

Each time we see your picture
You seem to smile and say
"Don't cry, I'm in God's keeping
We'll meet again some day."

If tears could build a stairway,
and memories were a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven,
to bring you home again.

No farewell words were spoken
no time to say goodbye,
You were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.

My heart still aches in sadness,
What it meant to lose you,
No one will ever know.

Herzog again.................Hi Scott and Jill. Hope the two of you are getting on with your lives. Getting back into your routines have been said to be the best medicine. But....what do I know? When I saw Scott at his store some 1 1/2 weeks ago, he looked good. Happy, joyful, and even some levity. Its hard to get on with ones life after an emotionally draining experience, but even if it is a false facade, it tricks the mind and after a while it becomes more natural. I know the both of you think of Hannah on a daily basis, and that is good for your child will live on within you and your memories. She was one very special little girl and you are both very special people. I am finally starting to grow back my hair and my wife has said to me I am beginning to look handsome again. I think she just loves me, for I can think of many adjectives to describe Joe Herzog, but handsome does not make the list. AS always, I am just a phone call away, so call if you need anything. As always, Love Joe

I am a very close friend of Che and Anna's. I just want to let you know that I wish you all the best! I can't imagine how hard this must be for you both. I have a little girl who is three months old and I cannot imagine anything happening to her. Thanks to you and Hannah, Che has high hope. I want to thank you and your beautiful daughter for that. Hopefully, this new treatment will cure this awful disease! I really don't know how you have the courage to get through each and every day. I admire you both SO much for that! I don't think I could be as strong as you two and Che! You all really are my idols! I pray for your family and Anna's family every night! God bless all of you!

I am writing to encourage you once again that your little angel is in heaven looking down and smiling at all the love this website has brought in.
I look all the time and keep up with your family.
I don't have a lot of money so I cannot fund a foundation,
I don't have political connections or Doctor friends but I do have a connection with God.
God is the most important connection we have-
I ask him to give you peace, to give wisdom for a cure and also to give you guys hope for a happy future.
Hannah will never be forgotten and God loves you all very much.

Hey Scott and Jill,
I met a very sweet woman last night that said she was a friend of yours. It was at the RMH dinner and she picked me out of the crowd even without Anna. She came up to me and said "Are you the 21 year old with the Niemann-Pick baby?" I said yes and she told me she was a friend of yours that had met you at a previous dinner, but has managed to keep in touch. She said "Scott told me I had to find you and Jessica's parents and say hi" As soon as she told me she was a friend of yours, tears started streaming down my face. (right in the middle of the dinner) I couldn't explain it, but my heart just broke as it does everytime I think about the pain and emptiness you must be feeling. I can't imagine the anger and frustration you both must feel everyday like I have said before. I told the woman( I can't even remember her name) to tell both of you that literally not one day goes by that I don't think of Hannah Mollie and pray for you. I will be staying in MN until Anna's line is removed which will probably be September, So if you ever feel up to coming out for a visit, you know where to find me. I hope I will get to meet both of you someday, maybe when I get back to NY. Just know that Hannah has already made enormous strides for this disease, and she as well as the both of you, will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Your family will always have a place in my heart. love Che

It was so nice to see both of you this past weekend at Zacahry's Bar Mitzvah. Scott- it has been way too long since we have seen each other and I really enjoyed reconnecting. I am happy to have finally met Jill. I am thinking of you two and will continue to write and call. All my love, Roni

To all the wonderful journal readers
Dan and I went to our annual pediatric research meeting this past weekend and if you believe in things that happen for a reason, well, out of the 5000 people at this meeting we ran into Hannah's doctor, Charlie Peters. It was so wonderful to see Charlie. We had dinner together and in honor of Scott, went to a baseball game with him. Those of you who have kept up on the website probably remember that Scott and Charlie went to a Yankee game together in MN last summer. Charlie wants to help with the foundation in any way that he can, so . . . . we need to get the ball rolling so that we can help fight this horrific disease. We need everyone's support!
Love

Dear Scott and Jill,
IM sorry i haven't posted in a while, had a lot going on in the past few weeks. We are also getting some type of foundation going, to help transplant patients and their families. I hope you guys are doing well, I really look forward to meeting up with you in Long Beach this summer. We are taking Anthony on his first vacation next week to Florida so by the summertime he'll be use to the sand and surf!. I hope you were able to watch the press conference with Chuck Shumer on TV, well they really only showed him for a few seconds and then they went to interview us. Im pushing this bill in honor of all our cord blood transplant recipients. Oh i spoke at the Cresthollow 2 weeks ago at a Long Island Blood Service donor recognition dinner, in front of 300 people, (Yikes),I dont know how i managed it, but I got a standing ovation. I, like you talk about Anthony any chance I get, so I really get to educate the public on the wonderful benefits of cord blood donation. So scott and Jill, get this foundation up and it will put the biggest smiles on your face. Lots of love, and know we're always thinking of you.

Hey Jill and Scott,
Just wanted to let you know, that not a day goes by that I don't think of little Hannah Mollie. She truly is an angel and her legacy will live on forever!!! I can't imagine the pain and frustration you two must feel everyday, and I pray to God I will never have to feel it. I believe we will find a cure for this horrible disease!!! Just wanted to let you know that everyone here in MN thinks of you and your beautiful daughter daily. My family and friends will continue to pray for you to somehow start to heal!! Much love to you and your family...

Herzog again................Hi Scott.....Hope all is going well. Still trying to catch up on tax season. You know the circumstances. I will try to come to the store this week as I am going on vacation next week (golf with the guys) and want to purchase some merchandise. Have to refinance my house first. Feeling pretty good, but constantly thinking of cancer and the treatments, and what I went through this winter. I also think about you and Jill, for I as part of my daily routine, other than taking the meds and feeling,well just aweful, I checked in and wrote to Hannah. I think about you and Jill and Hannah very often, and am so very proud of you for getting on with getting on. It's not easy, and just as you dealt with Hannah, with strength, compassion, and love, you are now dealing with life after. I am not comparing, even though it sounds like I am, but I am dealing with life after also. It has its ups and downs, and whenever I get too emotionally stuck, so many pitfalls to fall into, I think of you. For you too are pillars to be admired, respected and loved. Please continue to fight the bad thoughts of sadness, and try to focus in on all the positive that Hannah Mollie brought into your lives. Advice is easy, but sometimes it comes from heartfelt emotions, and I wish upon the both of you nothing but happiness and fullfillment all the days, months and years ahead. As, always, Love Joe

Dear Scott and Jill,
I haven't checked on you in awhile but I've been thinking about you always. Of course, no one can know what you are going thru but I think about it and can't imagine. Sometimes when I am awake in the middle of the night (trying to figure out what is wrong with one or both of the babies) I think of Hannah. I figure teething is a lot easier than what Hannah endured.
You are so right, Hannah is such a beautiful name (Did you know that my 10 year old's name is Hannah). I remember when my mom told me that you had picked that name.
Well, I just wanted to let you know that I think of you two and hope the best for you.
Love,

I just wanted to thank you for continuing to write about how you are doing. I check your website all the time as many others still do too. Sometimes it is hard for us to put into words how sorry we are for your loss. I learned about your family through Baby Jessica's parents. Hannah was only here for a short time, but she has impacted SO MANY LIVES! (More than most of us do in our lifetimes!) She reminds us what counts in life. The strength she showed through her difficulties reminds us that we can pull through too. She reminds us that we need to live everyday to its fullest. What a gift just being healthy is! Please know that I think of her often and I pray that your days get a little easier.

I came across Hannah Mollie's page from a few links from a a guy at school's page. When I saw her picture I knew she was a special, beauitful girl with those brown eyes. :) I read through the journals from the beginning one night. (instead of doing my homework--my choice!) From just those months of Hannah's life it really touched me. I never knew how someone that I have never met before could impact me. Everyday since finding this site I have been thinking about Hannah. My heart hurts for your family and I am sorry for your loss...but in my way of thinking--Hannah is alive more than ever and she is loving you, Scott and Jill, unconditionally. I thank you for Hannah Mollie and for all the lives she has touched. *Very cute name by the way..maybe someday I will name my little girl that.. many years to go though because Im only a sophomore in High School!*
Take Care and God Bless

Hi there.
Just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of you today, as I do everyday.
I met Anna's grandma at the hospital last week and she talked about how kind you two were to call her family and encourage them with Anna's fight against Neiman Pick. We talked about how even with the pain you are in, you were kind enough to try to help them. I was not surprised as you are such good people. I got to meet little, beautiful Anna too. It brought back memories of the first time I met your beautiful little Hannah. Those big Brown eyes, reading her books and playing with her blocks. Missing you and missing Hannah here in MN. Take care of yourselves.

Hi Scott,
I feel your pain. You know Emilio and I had a great loss too. Yes, it is different, but it is soooo painful. I always think about the twin boys and what it would have been like to hold them just once. So you see, I still suffer in my own little world too. Thank G-D we went on to have Cole. You guys WILL move on and always hold Hannah deep in your heart forever.
I miss you both and look forward to spending lots of time with you this summer.
Please know I love you, and I wish I could make the hurt go away, but with time,(blah, blah).
Love,

Hello,

I haven't written lately as I have had the pleasure to speak with you live. I can not wait to start this foundation and be able to put all this fund raising experience to a very personal cause. I often go to your web site to see those beautiful brown eyes and know she is watching all of us to make sure we keep our promise of staying together, making things better, by hugging our friends and family and not forgetting what's important in life. Please feel free to call, e-mail or post your messages as I'm not sure any of us can know how you are feeling on a day to day basis. We will chat soon, until then give yourself a break, I'm not sure any of us would or could handle it differently. Love, Joanne, Tim & Timothy

as i awoke (a bit later than usual) today the rain was a lovely sound on the window and i thought of hannah. i was drawn to my computer and read your wednesday entry. for some reason the sound of the rain reminded me of the tears we have shed for you both and hannah. i then said a prayer and i realized that hannah would not want me to think like that so the sound changed from tearful reminder to soft comfort. hannah continues to have the power to reverse my mood! she will always live in my/everyone's heart. look forward to being a part of her foundation.

Scott and Jill,
I hope you know that Hannah is in our thoughts everyday. I don’t think a day went buy back in MN when I didn’t mention her name. My sister looks at your site daily. We hope and pray that this treatment really works. It seems you make gains and then you are back to where you started, but somehow you go on knowing that it has to work. But none of this would have even been an option if it were not for Hannah. That beautiful girl has made a HUGE impact on lives she did not even know existed. I can only imagine how she touched those who really knew her. She is in our thoughts and prayers everyday, along with your family. Bless you for all you have done.

Hannah Mollie will stay in the memories of all who knew her, and those who read about her and especially those who will see her again in heaven........
Don't worry Scott, she will not be forgotten and will continue to move people, change people and even push for a cure for the horrible disease that she faced.
No words can make it any easier but we do promise she will not be forgotten.

Scott and Jill,
My daughter called me yesterday and said I had made her cry. I had mentioned there were other caringbridge websites that she could find from reading the guestbook her cousin Nick has created for his son. In her journey she discovered Hannah's. Needless to say, we both are touched by Hannah. Someday I hope to finish your jornal but for now I am having trouble with the tears. It has inspired me to give blood as I have O-Neg. I hope you both are doing well.

Oklahoma City, Okla. - Tuesday, April 26, 2005 11:04 AM CDT

Herzog again.............Saw Scott this past week and he looked well. In his journal, he states that he is always a Nano second away from thinking of Hannah, to which I have told him, that's good, thinking of what this blessed child gave them, as opposed to taking away. Easy to say, tough to live your life, as it's normal to think of and endure pain and unhappiness, rather than concentrating on the good things and being happy, for me its a full time job. And this job is sometimes, if not always draining, but the payoffs are immeasurable if you can train your mind. SCott, please try not to focus in on the negatives we spoke about at your place, focus in on all the positives this situation has for you, and how difficult it would be without. AS I just said, its hard to train your mind to think positively, when so much misery is pictured to exist. I think about the both of you often, and even though I don't check in on a daily basis, as many of your other faithful followers are not, I'm sure you are always in their thougths also. Life has a habit of beating us down, and we sometimes forget what's truly important in our lives. Staying on track is not easy. Thinking of you guys. As always love Joe

Dear Scott & Jill--Your daughter is eternal and her impact is as well. You may never truly know how many people her life has touched. As I read your journal entry today your grief and frustration touched a part of me that I cannot explain. I do not know your pain, but I hurt with you. I know that it is G-d's Love. How else can so many be touched? Your daughter's impact and you & your wife's has affected so many that it supercedes human emotion or concern..it is a deeper love-- Our Heavenly Father's...He's holding you close through so many people that love you. And also through those that you may never met face to face. May His precious Love comfort you.

It must be difficult for you to hear about Anna and Jessica but yet you still reach out to Julie and Che. I know that it meant a lot to my sister to read your encouraging words.

Psalm 29:11 "The Lord will give strength to His people; The Lord will bless His people with peace."
John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." We pray you have peace of mind.........

Revelation 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away."

Scott and Jill, your sweet baby is with God, in heaven where she hs no pain, no suffering, no sorrow and laughs and rejoices........... I can close my eyes and see that sweet big brown eyes girl in the arms of the Lord.

The hope that you have is that you will see her again.
Without Jesus, we have no hope..... There is hope in Jesus.

Romans 10:9 "that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
John 20:31 "but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name."

Everlasting life is promised- forever with Hannah and Jesus and the beauty of heaven. He came so we could all have everlasting life, he loves us, forgives us of sin and wants us to dwell with him forever.

Hannah is with him, she is an angel.... a beautiful angel.

Your little girl has touched so many and many of us will never forget and you are never alone.

Just wanted to let you know that I still check the website all the time, I don't always write but just to take a look at Hannah's big brown eyes and see if there is any news with you guys. I still think about you 3, and your loving family all the time. Hannah is an inspiration in my daily life more then you can imagine. I will never forget about her or you guys, so even though there are not always notes left behind, I am sure their are many out there , like me, who do the same thing. I am volunteering at the hospital on Monday night. You had mentioned a couple of families that you are keeping in contact with right now, if you let me know who they are, I would love to stop by and see them.
Please take of each other. I hope you are doing okay and hanging in there.

Dear Scott & Jill,
Just wanted to write again to let you know that you remain in our prayers. Your daughter is so beautiful-- and she is more beautiful now than ever. Her smile, the little things that you remember, her courage, even as a little child-- how beautiful. You both are surrounded by the Presence of G-d every day and I have no doubt that He holds you close in His arms. He is not only there to comfort you, but He is intimately aquainted with your pain. "He carried our sorrows..." May the support of your family and friends, and most of all your Heavenly Father bring peace to your hearts and minds. There is a lasting peace that only He can give.

In His Love--

Herzog again.......................Haven't checked in for a while, but have been talking to Scott, as April 15th has come and gone, and its hard to express the joy I feel that I am here, and have actually have survived another tax season. I still think often about the days I was checking in on this site once, and sometimes twice a day to lend support to the Stimells and Hannah, and the effect it had on me. I am a stronger person for having experienced everything over this past year. I am still, and will be for some time to come, full of sorrow for the loss that both Jill and Scott suffered this past year. I know that everyday for them is filled with memories of their little girl and what happened, why it happened and what could have been done differnetly to prevent it from happening. Bottom line, Scott and Jill, God works in mysterious ways, and the both of you did eveything right, and Hannah is smiling and wishing the both of you well. From experience, time is the healer of all wounds and guilt about anything is a useless, harmful emotion, that feeds upon itself and produces anxiety and unhappiness. I wish for the both of you many joyous and happy times ahead, and nothing but happy memories of Hannah and her beautiful smile and contagious laughfter. As always, love joe

Scott and Jill,
I just got to MN to see our little Anna. You were right in saying that these people here are wonderful. Though Anna's counts are low, I am still so glad that we went through with this. I know that somehow she is going to make it. She is so strong you wouldnt believe it. I mean she gets sick and then smiles at you! I want you to know that we think of your Hannah daily. She was an insperation to my family. I thank you also for writing to Che. I know it means so much to her. Know that Hannah and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,

Hi guys,
Thanks again for the update. I'm constantly thinking about you and Hannah. I like many other of your loved ones, check in on Anna and Jessica too! Those girls are so blessed to have Hannah looking down on them. Hannah will always be special to me and my family. We give you strength and courage to go on. You have made such an impact upon all that know you. Take care.

Scott and Jill,
It's been a while since you've written,and even though we're family,I still check everyday. I check Anna, Jessica and Hannah. Don't know what I'm looking for,but somehow it's comforting to feel all of you writing.
Scott,Hannah is forever in so many people's hearts, never worry that she'll be forgotten.That could just never be- she touched too many of us; those close and afar.
We all struggle on everyday, and the days just pass. I guess that's how it's gonna happen.
We love you guys very much and can't ever say or do much to change this situation, but know and feel the love and support that we offer at all times. Always.

You are such wonderful parents and gave your entire heart and soul to Hannah. She will never be forgotten. You have changed my world and I wanted you to know how true the statement is that your daughter Hannah has touched SO many lives!

You are in my thoughts and prayers,

God bless the grieving mother...
In January as the snow flakes fall...
And as a new year dawns...
For her memories will comfort her...
Through winter, spring, summer, and fall.
God bless the grieving mother...
In February during the month of love...
She sends her hugs..on the wings of a dove...
And her kisses are blown to the moon above.
God bless the grieving mother...
In March and on St Patricks Day...
A beautiful rainbow...a symbol of hope...
Which colors her world..in a magical way.
God bless the grieving mother...
In April as she stops to pray...
Thanking God for the gift of everlasting life...
Knowing she will be reunited someday.
God bless the grieving mother...
On Mothers Day and thru the month of May...
Whose memories are like threads of gold...
For they will never tarnish....or go away.
God bless the Grieving mother...
In June as her tears fall like the rain...
Please comfort her...and give her strength
and peaceful days to help ease the pain.
God bless the grieving mother...
In July as the fireworks light up the sky afar...
Just like her memories light up her heart...
And she wishes upon an evening star.
God bless the grieving mother...
In August...as the sun shines through...
Who's life moves on...thru ups and downs..
Whose heart is so tender and true.
God bless the grieving mother...
In September as the leaves turn and fall...
Her childs life forever etched in her heart..
Her childs name entered on the memorial wall.
God bless the grieving mother...
In October...with the harvest colors all around....
Please guide her on her journey of grief...
and keep her safe and sound.
God bless the grieving mother...
In November...a time to give thanks and pray...
Who is so thankful for each precious memory..
But wishes with all her heart...just for one more day
God bless the grieving mother...
In December as holidays near...
Please bless her with the gift of peace...
And many great friends to help dry her tears.
God bless the grieving mother...
Each day throughout the year...
As seasons come and go...
And time unfolds...
Day by day...
Month by month...
Year by year...
and especially today.

Scott:
We're friends of Che and Anna. You are such a source of strength and encouragemnet to Che. You've been down this road before and are now vicariously allowing yourself to make the journey again. To me, it speaks volumes of the true character of a man.
Scott, I will never know what your family went through with Hannah, but I do know the pain of losing a child. I can honestly say that God will provide a measure of peace that man cannot comprehend. As the pain fades, beautiful memories will emerge and the comfort of knowing your beautiful girl is now walking those streets of gold in heaven . . . no more pain, no more disease.
God's promises seem to wait for the pressure of pain to trample out their richest juice as in a winepress. Only those who have sorrowed know how tender is the "Man of Sorrows." I believe God will continue to use you mightily . . . because out of your pain will flow a great testimony of encouragement to others.
Blessings to you and yours.

Dear Jill & Scott,

Even though we don't know each other well (I went to BU with Jill and we have a few mutual friends), I think of you both and Hannah often. You have all made a difference and touched so many. You are three very special people. I was recently at Steven and Debbies's house (Baum) and saw an amazing picture of Hannah and Ethan. She is beautiful! Stay as strong as you both are - your angel is with you.
Thinking of you, Jill (Tannenbaum) Gans

Just wanted to say hello and a big God Bless you to your family.

People continue to pray for you and believe for strength to face each day and for stories to immerge that might bring some sense of reasoning why this happened to you.

Many, many people have been affected in ways you may never know.
Hannah is at the heavenly home with Jesus who said let the children come unto me.
She has no pain, no suffering and looks down on you both in expectation to see you again.
Death is not final, with God through his son Jesus we have the promise of eternal life-
A life where you can see Hannah forever, no sadness, no tears.
Hannah was a gift from God that he entrusted to your care.
What an honor to be her parents, she is a beautiful child.
May she live on in you,
May Hannah bring you smiles,
and may the good memories be the ones you remember.

Seek God always in your life and find him a comfort and peace in a trying world.

Seek God and you will find Hannah.

Love from South Carolina,

Dear Scott:
Words cannot express what I am feeling right now. I don't know you "in person" - but I just visited your beautiful daughter's website - and, I had to close my office door as tears were streaming down my face while I read and felt your joys, anguish and ultimate loss - through your journal. I had no idea what you, your wife and precious girl went through. My heart aches and I know that nothing anyone can say can make your loss easier to bear.
I have a daughter - my only child - who is 13 years old. I love her - as you do Hannah - with every breath in my body and to the deepest recesses of my soul. I cannot phathom the loss of a child. Your sweet girl didn't have the years she was entitled to on this earth.
From just reading your words - I could feel the pure and absolute love you have for her. Her photos are absolutely beautiful and she was so fortunate to have you and Jill for parents.
On this earth, we will never know why she and you had to suffer so much, but she will always be alive in you.....forever,
With much admiration,

Dear Scott and Jill

Scott, I just recently found out about your family through your generosity to our team while we undertake the MS Challenge. My friend Jessie was diagnosed last summer and has been a trooper through the whole thing, much like Hannah it seems. Our group of friends decided to do the 3-day 50 mile walk in support of Jess. Your unselfishness during this time of grief and your willingness to help us with a donation for our raffle has renewed my sense of humanity. I appreciate your efforts in helping us try and erase this disease. It really means alot to myself and the rest of Jessie's Girls!

Dear Scott and Jill.
Eventhough we have met for a very brief moment at the airport, you touched us deeply. We wish there was something we could say to ease your pain. But we know there are no words that can make you feel better, so we are only going to express our sorrow. Pope John Paul II died yesterday and we are sure he is watching after Hannah in heaven, children always had a special place in his heart. Take care of each other.

Scott & Jill-
You don't know me, but I feel like I know you from Hannah's story, I am Julie Tucker's cousin. As you may know her daughter Jessica has NP type A and they are currently going through the post transplant stage, they would not have known about Fairview had they not heard your story in NY Times. Your daughter is such an inspiration to many. Your story has touched so many lives, I hope you and Jill are able to find peace in your silence. You and Jill are wonderful parents and still are because Hannah will always be with you in spirit and in memory.

Scott, I'm glad to have finally received your message, although it was a devistatng one. I regret not knowing sooner to be able to pay my respects to your family.

We pray for you and your family to stay strong in this sad time of your lives.

Be well - We will see each other soon hopefully.

Dear Scott and Jill,
My cousin is Julie Tucker and as you know, her child Jessica also suffers from NP type A. I visited your website as I have been following Hannah's progress since December. Unequivically, Hannah is the most strikingly beautiful child I have ever seen. Her soulful eyes are knowing and wise. Although I was obviously never fortunate enough to meet Hannah, I wanted you to know that I feel her life. I see her childhood in the eyes of my own precious children and because of that I am a better parent. In turn, I believe that my children will grow to be better people. I hope this is of some solitude to you, as you struggle with Hannah's passing. Her life continues, just beyond our touch, but within our feeling.

Very Sincerely,

Herzog again..............Done with my treatments, cancer free and glad to be alive. It has been one of the most traumatic experiences of my life, but rallied with enough strength to outlast the chemo and radiation. Scott, Jill and Hannah were of tremendous help to me and my family, as I'm sure they were models of strength and compassion for so many others. My outcome was different, but the same. For we all are put upon this earth for a relatively short time, some shorter than others, but what is important, is what we do with that time. The three of you had so much love, resiliancy, fight and warmth, more than some of us experience in a lifetime, the three of you should be so proud. Time, won't wipe out the memories, but it will make them more bearable. Concentrate on the happy times, the both of you will do great. As always Love Joe

Scott and Jill,
I hope you are doing well. It good to hear that you are taking some much deserved time away for yourselves. I want you to know that I think about you and Hannah everyday. I hope you truly realize the difference Hannah made at fighting this terrible disease. Anna is doing wonderful, we are now at day +16, and I contribute every ounce of her health and well being to Hannah Mollie. The information the doctors recieved from Hannah being the first to go through this is pulling Anna through. I got through the worst taking it one day at a time like you have always said. My entire family is so incredibly greatful for your encouragement and support. Now we are just praying for no GVHD or infection!! All of my family will continue to keep you in our prayers.
Sincerely

Dear Scott:
Many people only know you from Hannah Mollie. Only some fortunate know you for who "you" are. The passion, the thoughtfulness, the care, the love, the support and your friendship (OUR FRIENDSHIP). It means the world to me. I know your Dad has seen all that you have become and he must be tighting his stomach and saying go ahead Mark hit me, cause that's my boy and damn am I proud of him. And I have to say it has been my fortune knowing you and everything you stand for.
A few days ago you made another little girl stand up and take another step toward wellness, my daughter, and I love you for it. No words just love. So if I say I need to see you and you lovely wife, then don't Mickey Mouse around, make it happen. I do not know if you have seen the movie Million Dollar Baby but you are "MY MACUSHLA" "MY BLOOD""MY BROTHER".
Have a great trip.

Dear Jill& Scott, I don't know where to start or what to say. Reading the journals bring tears to my eyes. Everybody here in MN still talks about what a wonderful family you were. They all remember Hannah's big brown beautiful eyes. I'm so sorry for what you had to go through. Its not fair especially that you two are such wonderful loving parents. Jessica is at day +19 and doing well. And I feel guilty telling you that. But you guys are an inspiration to so many people.If it weren't for your family Jessica wouldn't be where she is at now. Tom and I will ever be so grateful to you. Hopefully Hannah is looking down on Jessica. She will always be in our thoughts and prayers. Hannah will never be forgotten. She was such a beautiful little girl. And she couldn't have had better parents. God bless!!

I can't even begin to imagine what you are both going through. My heart aches for you both and your family. Her pictures are absolutely beautiful. I read your journals and it brought me to tears. When you write that Hannah continues to impact lives......that is absolutely true! If it wasn't for your article in the New York Times...I don't think we would've known about Fairview. I am forever grateful to you and your family. Although Jessica is my niece, I love her like a daughter. I wanted to somehow thank you for sharing your story and preparing our family for what is to come. May God bless you both and help you during this difficult time.

Scott, Jill and yes, you too Miss Hannah,
Rarely a day goes by that I don't think of you guys at some point and hope you're picking up the pieces of your broken hearts. No one knows how to do that exactly, but it seems your motto of "one day at a time" is the best way so far. I check the site constantly, as I got in that habit to keep up with Hannah's progress. The guestbook entries continue to overwhelm me, as your family has touched so many friends, as well as strangers, in a way that rarely happens.(Sarah Newburg's message, for example) Hannah, you should be so proud of your battle and the road you opened up for other children with this disease. In a short time, you became a pioneer. And we are all so proud of you.

Scott & Jill~ Please let us know whenever the plans for a foundation are in the works. You have so many people who want to help and support you.

Herzog again...............I'm sorry I haven't checked recently. Scott, read your latest entry and continue to hope that both you and Jill can lean on eachother for strength and support. None of us can really know what the two of you are experiencing, but we can sympathize. When I spoke with you Scott, although sounding a little tired and maybe experiencing some anxiety, you sounded grounded and in touch, although a little lost. I'm so sorry that both you Jill had to endure all that you did. I wish upon you good times and pleasant memories of your daughter who in my opinion, was one of the strongest and resiliant childs I have ever come into contact with.

Dear Scott and Jill,
Scott, you recently said that snow days are good for something. I guess that goes for flu days too as I finally did what I've been meaning to do for weeks -- which was to read your journal from the beginning to the present. What an amazing tribute to Hannah's precious life. You always had a beautiful voice and I hope that you are still singing to her -- there is no doubt in my mind that she hears you. I'm glad to hear that you did take the trip and hope that aside from the frustration with the airline that you were able to enjoy the comfort of each other and your family. Just an aside, I think American Airlines Executives should be forced to be treated at Long Island Jewish, and that Long Island Jewish Executives should be forced to fly American Airlines...
Much love to your family and please know that our hearts, thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Jill and Scott,
I continue to think of you and your "prettiest flower" pretty much all the time. For all of us who care about you but don't speak to you very often it's good to read an entry in your journal from time to time. So thank you for updating your community of caring friends and family. I'm sure you are still going through the motions of getting through the days...relearning how to live life without Hannah. I'm not sure when it starts getting easier. I just know that each day brings you closer to your goal of establishing Hannah's foundation, and helping your daughter continue to make a difference in this world. I wish you a safe and peaceful trip to Puerto Rico with your family...and look forward to seeing you in Cleveland next month (if not before).
Love always,
Linda

Dear Jill and Scott,
I continue to check daily to see how you guys are doing. It was nice to see a message today. Not a day goes by where I and many many others do not think of beautiful little Hannah! Your friends and families eulogies are a tribute to the wonderful family and friends you and Hannah have. You are so lucky for that! Stay strong and please know that I continue to think about you and Hannah! In addition, I have been following the lives of baby Jessica and Anna. Both of those families are so thankful for the two of you and your undivided devotion to Hannah! It is because of your courageous efforts that they are able to find strength in fighting this horrible disease.

Hi Jill and Scott,
I still check everyday and was glad to see an update from you today. Another beautiful Eulogy. I can only imagine how hard of a time it is for you all right now. I miss checking the webpage that opens with Hannah's beautiful face, and seeing what she is keeping her parents busy with that day. I still think about you both, and your wonderful family, all the time. I am so glad that I met you all, as you have certainly touched me, and my friends and family forever. I miss Hannah.
Love from Minnesota, to my friends.

Scott and Jill I am so deeply sorry for your loss. Scott after speaking with you today I couldn't stop thinking about our conversation, it kept replaying over and over again in my mind, I had to check out the site. The site is so touching and a real tribute to your little girl. I am here to help you in any way I can to make a difference in other peoples lives. Whatever you need please don't hesitate to ask. I want to thank you for your kind words to me today. No one should know the pain we feel in our heavy hearts. This is an amazing site.

Scott & Jill,
We are visiting your site for the first time, as we found the link for Hannah on baby Anna's site. Though there are miles between us your daughter has touched our hearts. We wanted to let you know that we are praying for you both & your family. I know that words can not heal your hurt, but please know that G-d does bring healing for the broken heart. You are not alone-- He is near.

"The L-rd is near to those who have a broken heart.."Ps.34
"Blessed are those that mourn for they shall be comforted.."

We pray that Hannah's life will forever bring good into the lives of all those that she touched! We know that she is in the arms of the Father until the day that you will hold her once again.
Sending much love and heart-felt prayers--

Dear Scott and Jill-
We want to extend our deepest sympathies on the loss of your beautiful daughter. We first heard about Hannah in the newspaper, after my husband recognized Scott's name as someone he had been friends with growing up in Bellmore, and we followed her treatment as it was reported. We cried when we read that she lost her incredible struggle to live. I sit here now with tears rolling down my face as I read your beautiful and loving eulogy to your daughter. Although her life was short, it clearly was filled with devotion, love and warmth. It is quite clear that Hannah could not have asked for more loving or attentive parents. Please know that our thoughts and prayers and hearts are with you and your family.

Hi Scott and Jill,
Our long road has only just begun. I can't imagine how you did it. It is only day two of chemo and Anna's teeth are deciding to come in, making her miserable. It is going to be a long haul to say the least, but I guess I just have to take your advice and take it one day at a time. I hope you know that all of the medical staff here on 4A think the world of you guys. I told them all that you guys said hi. They all said they would love to see you if you ever felt up to it. I see what you mean when you told me the staff was so kind. They are all thinking of you. Please know that your family continues to be in our thoughts and prayers. I know you already know this, but Hannah was and forever will be an inspiration to so many children and adults alike. Not to mention the great strides she has allowed the medical team here to take with their terrible disease. Please keep in touch. We think about you all the time!!

Herzog again...........Scott and Jill, I apologize, many days have passed since my last entry. Radiation is tireing, and I am trying to work everyday, but too exhausted from........well.......everything. I read Hannahs eulogy andd was overtaken with such emotion, it was simply............beautiful, and heartfelt. It was good talking with you Scott. You on a conscious level appear to be handling missing Hannah fairly well, not that I can imagine loosing a child. But please, hang as tight to eachother as you can for these months of loneliness without your daughter will be hard. The both of you have been so strong, you must be strong now too. Have your attorney's call me whenever you want with reference to the foundation. Take care the both of you, I am still thinking of you guys and praying for you, and so are many of your followers. As always love JOe

I HEARD THE WORDS AT HANNAH'S FUNERAL, BUT READING THEM NOW WAS EVEN MORE THE REALIZATION OF WHAT A SPECIAL FAMILY HANNAH WAS A PART OF.
SHE WILL BE THE ANGEL THAT WILL CONTINUE TO LOOK UPON AND PROTECT ALL OF YOU, THAT'S WHAT ANGELS DO.
YOU ARE INDEED AN EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY.
WE THINK OF YOU OFTEN, AND OF HANNAH AS WELL. SHE MADE HER MARK ON US ALL AND WE THINK ONLY OF HER AS AN ANGEL WHO IS AT PEACE AND SUFFERS NO MORE.
PLEASE LET US KNOW ABOUT THE FOUNDATION, AND HOW WE CAN MAKE A CONTRIBUTION AND CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE RESEARCH FOR THIS HORRIFIC DISEASE.

Feldys here,
We just read your last journal entry and our hearts literally break for you 2. Nothing we can do or say is going to take away this pain and anger. But maybe telling you that Hannah is no longer suffering may give you some comfort. Yes, you are correct, she did get a raw deal and it's so unfair but she had the strongest set of parents I personally have ever come across. It continues to amaze us how you get up the strength to write in this journal, describe your feelings and share yourselves with everyone. The way you 2 are going forward is absolutely the healthiest way. Most people would just crumble which I'm sure you do but overall, your strength is what keeps you going. Most people are not this strong. I know I can speak for everyone on this website that we are all looking foward to being involved in honoring Hannahs life. No one will ever forget Hannah the brown eyed beauty. Everyone here thinks of you 3 every single day. Please keep your heads high during this time. Next week on vacation, the Feldys will be looking for Hannah Mollies sparkle in that sunshine! Love to you guys!

For its all been said by everyone, directly and sometimes eloquently, your an amazing couple who have just come out of your private little hell and its time to get on with living your lives. Scott an Jill, it will be hard doing that, but with all the grit, determination, tenacity and love and compassion that the two of you faced these months, I'm sure the two of you will reach that median where the appropiate and happy memories fuel your love that you have for eachother and make everything more bearable.

Dear Jill and Scott,
When we heard the news about Hannah we were devastated and you have been in our thoughts everyday since. Scott, all of your journal entries reminded us of what a wonderful person you truly are. Although we lost touch a long time ago and we have never had the pleasure of meeting Jill, we will never forget your precious daughter, HANNAH MOLLIE. She was a beautiful little girl who has touched more lives in 13 months than most people do in a lifetime. We wish we could give you both a big hug right now and tell you in person how sorry we are; but for now just know that two more people have HANNAH MOLLIE and the rest of her courageous family in their thoughts.
With love and sympathy,

I HAVE JUST RETURNED FROM ISRAEL AND READ ALL THE LATEST JOURNAL ENTRIES. I WAS HAPPY TO HEAR OF YOUR TAKING SOME TIME FOR YOURSELVES AND GETTING AWAY.
YOU BOTH WERE IN MY THOUGHTS AND OF COURSE HANNAH AS WELL. I AM LOOKING TO HEAR OF THE FOUNDATION YOU WILL BE SETTING UP IN HANNAH'S MEMORY, SO THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING FOR ALL THE BABIES WHO WILL BE CHALLENGED WITH THIS DISEASE IN HANNAH'S MEMORY.
TO HERZOG, GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR RADIATION, YOU TOO, ARE IN OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS. YOUR REACHING OUT TO JILL AND SCOTT WHILE DEALING WITH YOUR OWN CHALLENGES, SHOWS US ALL THAT WE CAN BE THERE FOR OTHERS UNDER THE MOST TRYING TIMES WE OURSELVES FACE.
TO THE YOUNG FAMILY WHO NOW IS FACING THE CHALLENGE THAT JILL AND SCOTT DID WITH HANNAH, WE WISH YOU LUCK, LOVE AND PRAYERS THAT YOUR LITTLE ONE WILL OVERCOME.

Scott and Jill,
I have no words to express how truly deeply sorry I am for the loss of your precious daughter. I just found out tonight and I am overcome by sadness. Scott, I have known you for almost 10 years (through Cardboard Memories)and by reading your journal entries have come to see you in a different light (you only get to know someone so much by dicussing autographs). Hannah was lucky to have such a caring and devoted father (and mother, Jill). I can not imagine what you are feeling right now, but I want you to know that Hannah will forever be a hero in the hearts of everyone who knew her and knew of her. God knew how special the 2 of you were when he gave Hannah to you. He made sure that she had the most caring Mommy and Daddy to support and Love her untill he called her back.

I just hope and pray that Tom and I can be as strong as you and Jill were. On Thursday Jessica will be starting chemo and hopefully be on her way to treating this awful disease that NO child should have to go through. But thank god for the other family who are here to lean on during this long haul. Please know that I can't imagine what you've been thru but that you are the strongest people I've ever known. Thanks for giving our family hope and courage. You will always be in our prayers and hearts. Love, Tom and Julie Tucker PS This is our website:babyjessica.net

Dear Scott and Jill,
I am a strong believer that death is not the end of our journey. Your beautiful little Hannah is far from gone. She has merely changed forms. She is very much alive in your hearts and in the hearts of thousands and thousands of other people. Her energy, her life force is what has given you your amazing strength over the past thirteen months. I urge you to continue to use her energy. Continue to feel her presence. My father passed away more than 20 years ago. I still to this day feel his presence in me. He is in my heart and in my soul. As long as I am aware of this, his engery never ceases to exist. Hannah's energy is with you now just as it has always been. Know this, and it will never leave you. Thank you for your amazing example of love, hope, faith, strength, devotion and humanity. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Herzog again..................I hope that you were able to sleep and touch eachother, both emotionally and..........it has been so long since the both of you have had time for eachother. Hard for me to imagine how the both of you feel, for one has to walk in someones shoes...........Let time do it's work and let yourselves relax. The reconnection may take a little while. My wife tells me I have a habit of going into my cave more often than she likes, but I'm from Mars, and am working on it. These last months for me, and experiencing your saga also, has opened my eyes wider than they ever have been before. Starting radiation next week, and don't think I could have come this far if it wasn't for the support of my family and friends. Stay close to eachother and your relationship, along with all the emotional and physical auras, will allow the both of you to enter this new period of you life. I wish for the both of you some serenity and warm and happy memories of Hannah. Love always Joe

Like so many others, I have followed your and Hannah's story only through your beautiful journal entries. It doesn't seem right to say that I hope you had a nice trip, but I do hope that you found the time to reconnect as you start this new phase of your journey together, and that you have strengthened your obvious love for one another.

To Mindy and Dan ~ I don't believe that anyone could wish for a more devoted and supportive sister and brother-in- law. May the blessings that you have bestowed upon Jill and Scott be returned to you many, many times over.

How amazing it was to hear that her sister, husband and beautiful baby girl lived in the city in which I grew up and just left for the job at Flower Valley Elementary School. Hannah will always have Long Beach sand in her shoes. May your precious memories keep you strong.

Dear Team Hannah,

Just wanted to let you know that I'm still checking in and thinking of Hannah every day. Our family has now "adopted" Anna Phillips, so your site is doing all kinds of good, just like a caring bridge should. I hope you're feeling some kind of peace this week, and know that many people are loving you from near and far.

Herzog checking in..................I do hope the both of you are doing well (as well as can be expected). No words can express the degree of sorrow I, or anyone else connected with you over these months feels for you and your loss. Time is a great ally to you, for over time, the hurt hopefully will lessen, and only the good times and the good memories will remain. Scott, call when you get a chance. Love Joe

I was so sorry to hear about Hannah's illness and her passing. What an amazingly brave little girl you had. It has been so long since I have seen (or spoken to) you, Scott but I hope you know that my families thoughts and prayers are with you both. We will of course donate and support any foundation you begin. We are so sorry for your loss.

It seems to me that one thing we can do in Hannah's memory is try to make it easier for people to donate cord blood for general use, rather than pay to bank it for their own families. When I was pregnant I researched about how to donate my son's cord blood, and it was virtually impossible. I think there are only 5 hospitals in NYC where you can donate cord blood, which is ridiculous. You can bank it for your own family anywhere, but we wanted to donate it. Does anyone have any ideas on how we can make a difference in this area? If so, please email me.

Scott and Jill,
We went to Capitol Hill, this past Tuesday and I spoke at a briefing on the reintroduction of the Cord Blood Stem Cell Act of 2005. My story was heard!! I had touched these congressman's hearts with Anthony's story and how he had a cord blood transplant and how other children have benefitted from this valuable "medical waste" Before I was called to the podium, I took a deep breath, and said a prayer for Hannah. I'm fighting for kids like Anthony and Hannah. If there is anything I can do for your foundation, I would love to do something in honor of Miss Hannah. God bless you all,
Love,

Today I took off a litte early from work and went shopping for a present for my husband for our 15th wedding anniversary which is today. While shopping I ran into Bill Clinton. Do you think this was a coincidence? Of course, I went over to him and told him Hannah's story. We talked - about stem cell research, medicine, and the horror of Long Island Jewish. He knows it all. He was lovely, receptive, and wrote a note to Jill and Scott. Our story will be told.

I DID AND BROUGHT IT WITH ME TO THE BLOOD BANK. TODAY I WAS ABLE TO DONATE PLATELETS FOR TWO PATIENTS, AND I MADE ANOTHER COMMITMENT TO DO IT AGAIN. THIS IS IN HONOR OF HANNAH MOLLIE STIMELL. IF EVERYONE YOU TOUCHED COULD DO THIS, WHAT A GREAT FIRST STEP TOWARDS YOUR GOAL.

Dear Jill and Scott,
We will be off to MN next week to have the same procedure done as our 10 month old has the exact same disease. We found out about Hannah through the first article in the NY Times while we went to Mt Sinai for some answers about Niemann-Pick. Ever since then your family gave us hope and srength to go through with this procedure. I was extremely saddened by the news of Hannah. I'm so sorry for what you have been going through. But the two of you are extremely courageous and strong and wonderful for all that you did for this precious lil angel. My heart goes out to the two of you. Even though I'll be going through similiar emotional roller-coasters as you went thru, I can't begin to imagine your heart-ache. I know that we've never met you or Hannah but I will always feel sometype of connection to her. You guys are helping us in a way you have no idea. She will always be dear to us and will always be remebered for what she did.

I want to personally thank everyone for all of their support during this most difficult time in our lives. Scott and Jill have been touched - by the kindness and love they have been shown. Shiva is ending tonight, however, the needs of Scott and Jill will be greater than ever. They can't be and they won't be alone in this. Dan and I are taking them away to St John, to the Westin hotel, on Tuesday where we promise we will give them a lot to drink and hopefully they will hug and maybe even dance together. This is the beginning of the healing process. If anyone would like to send anything to them at the Westin - a bottle of wine, a massage, breakfast in bed, feel free to email me and I will help you arrange this for them.
Love

Dear Scott & Jill,

You and your family have been in our thoughts since we found out about Hannah's passing in The New York Times last week. Although we never had the opportunity of meeting Hannah, we will always picture her in a pink Yankee warm-up suit. After reading all the heartleft messages you have received, there is little more we can say. We hope that you and your family find some small confort in the good memories that you had during your time together.

We would like to make a contribution in Hannah's name to a charity that helps families with the same disease. Please post this information or we will call the store and ask if they have any information. Fondly,

Herzog again...............Scott and Jill, after these some six months, now ending with the passing of Hannah, the both of you are now being tested again. There is probably no greater sorrow than that of a parent having to bury a child. Please continue to have the quite strength, the amazing patience and love for eachother during this very trying period in your lives. Again, a trite saying is a minute, then an hour, then a day at a time. It really works and when you lean on eachother, the sorrow is still there, but your partner shares the pain with you. I am continually confused as to how this has unfolded, but the both of you have maintained your dignity throughout. There is not one person connected with you that has not been touched by your courage and compassion. I again am so sorry for the loss of Hannah, but she will never be forgotten, either by you or any of us. You have a support system as large as you want it to be. Please accept my sincerest sympathies again. I wish I was well enough to pay a shiva call. G-d bless the both of you. Return my call whenever you feel strong enough or just want to vent. As always, Love Joe

You don't know me but I feel as if I know all of you. Thank you for your beautiful journal postings, as I am privileged to have been able to follow such a special family's journey. I am so very sad and cannot imagine your incredible pain. Your beautiful little angel is a hero. May heaven be Hannah's playground, and may the memories of Hannah's smiles and giggles be a source of comfort and always warm your hearts. I am so sorry. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Woodbridge, Ct - Tuesday, February 8, 2005 11:20 PM CST

Dear Jill and Scott,

I write you from Puerto Rico where amidst the quiet solitude, I find my thoughts drifting constantly to you and Hannah.

First I will say a few words about the service. The speeches were eloquent, moving and in some cases, unbearably sad...but none touched my heart as deeply as yours, Scott. Mindy's also deserve special mention. I am so glad you are putting them up on the website, especially for those who were unable to attend the funeral. People around the country (indeed, around the world) are searching for some meaning in this tragedy or at least, something that gives them a small shred of hope. Your words, however painful, spoke to the joy that you, Jill and Hannah gave each other in the 13 months of her life and the possibility that her suffering may lead to a discovery that one day, may help humankind. Those words lifted my heart and will do the same for so many others.

Second, I wanted to tell you that the photo which accompanied Friday's article in the NY Times was unforgettable. There was little Hannah looking so happy and content in her mommy's arms, celebrating this enormous milestone in the life of any one-year old (but one that was especially important for this child). The three of you looked radiant; that is how I will remember your life with this special little girl.

I just read your entry Scott and my heart continues to ache for both of you. I pray that your friends and family are surrounding you at this incredibly difficult time in your life. I will be there on Thursday and as a new member of the Stimell family circle, long after that. When the fog of this unbearable pain begins to lift a little, part of your mental and emotional salvation will come from focussing on how you wish to honor Hannah's life and memory. Again, I volunteer with all my energy to be part of this new team. It would be a great honor (and truthfully, will help me get through my own sadness) by helping you build something that will be a proper tribute to this extraordinary little girl and her family.

With the support of all who love you (including your little girl who is watching over you from heaven) I hope you find the strength to get through the sadness of the mourning period and of course, beyond.
I am with you...and so is Ronen.

With love,
Linda

Her big,big beautiful brown eyes and her smile in your pic's that i looked through at your house said it all...through it all she loved you for all you did for her and of course she felt the love that her mommy and daddy had for her and will alway's have !!

Yesterday, I took Nancy out for the day and let her pick out something special for herself. She picked out a special bear with hearts all over her, and named her "Baby Hannah." Inside the bear, she stuffed two small hearts, and then made a wish that "Hannah would be happy in Heaven" She then gave the bear a big kiss on it's nose, and held on tight to it all night.

Dear Jill and Scott:

My heartfelt condolences on the loss of your beloved Hannah! I have been in a daze since last Wednesday...My heart aches for you, but I know Hannah's memory will be a blessing to you as you grieve your deep loss. How many people leave such an indelible mark on the world as Hannah Mollie did? She truly was a light unto the nations - providing so much joy and inspiring such depth of human emotions; it made loving and caring for her all the more profound. I think she changed people - especially when they were lucky enough to meet her,glimpse a smile or see her lovingly surrounded by her parents. I used to love it when Scott sang to her and I saw her calm down, her face light up with happiness. Jill's love for Hannah was palpable. It surrounded her like an aura. Hannah felt the love and comfort from the two of you all of her short life. At the Ronald McDonald House, the staff and volunteers felt a special connection to your family and to Hannah. I will always remember Hannah as a brave and spirited little baby who pioneered the medical world and continues to provide hope to so many. May her memory be a blessing to you always. With deepest sympathy and much love always, Orlee Kahn

scott and jill, no words i guess..i am just sorry i couldnt be there. you think about everyday life and the choices we make, the things we do, and its all so insiginficant. you guys are what life is really all about, getting through adversity and finding a way to move on and see the good in hannah while she was here in your life. since this all started and i kept in touch with scott and reading the website, i chuckle about hearing people complain about little things, thinking they have problems...they have no idea what problems are.....bills can get paid, a new job can be found, but the loss of an innocent life....no words....scott, i have been friends with you a long time and i would laugh with you about how neurotic you are about things...... and its a good thing jill was around because she kept you grounded, but that is part of who you are. through all this i also learned that you are more than a friend, you are someone i will look up to. THE WORST OF TIMES BRING OUT THE BEST IN PEOPLE, AND YOU PROVED THAT DURING THIS WHOLE PROCESS. ANYONE COULD HAVE FOLDED AND JUST GIVEN UP BUT YOU KEPT GOING AND THAT is ADMIRABLE IN MORE WAYS THAN YOU CAN REALIZE. when there are times when life doesnt always work out like you want it to, i will think about your strength and your desire and the pride you had as a father for your daughter. you have made a difference in many peoples lives with your focus on how there are ways to make hannah better while she was here. jill, i echo these words towards you too. i am sorry if i am rambling but i wanted you both to know what i was feeling. i know my words wont take away your pain and i really wish i could something to help...but i will continue to pray for you both..your angel will be watching over you. your friend, Pasquale Evangelista

I HAVE CONTINUED TO SIGN IN EVERY DAY TO READ THE INCREDIBLE TRIBUTES TO HANNAH AND TO BOTH OF YOU.
WORDS DO NOT QUITE MAKE IT AT A TIME LIKE THIS, AND FOR THE TWO OF YOU THE PAIN IS SOMETHING WE CANNOT EASE.
HANNAH, HOWEVER, HAS SHOWN US ALL, EVEN THE LITTLE MIRACLES COUNT. SHE WILL BE FOREVER REMEMBERED FOR HER VALIANT STRUGGLE AND EVEN FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE TRANSPLANT, FOR HOWEVER LITTLE TIME IT GAVE HER, WHICH WILL GIVE THE DOCTOR'S HOPE AND KNOWLEDGE FOR THE FUTURE, TREATING THIS DISEASE.
FOR YOUR FRIEND, HERZOG, WHO IS FIGHTING HIS OWN BATTLE, I BELIEVE EVERYONE WHO HAS SIGNED ON, AND READ HIS ELOQUENT COMMENTS EACH DAY, ARE SAYING A SPECIAL PRAYER FOR HIS EARLY AND COMPLETE RECOVERY. THIS TOO, IS SOMETHING HANNAH HAS DONE FOR ALL OF US.
YOUR STRENGTH NOW HAS TO BE THERE FOR EACH OTHER AND THE GRIEF YOU BOTH SHARE.
WE WISH YOU DAYS TO COME WITH SOME OF THE GOOD MEMORIES HANNAH BROUGHT TO YOUR LIVES, AND MORE PEACEFUL MOMENTS.
WE PRAY FOR YOU BOTH, AND I BELIEVE HANNAH IS WATCHING OUT FOR THE TWO OF YOU, AND HAS BECOME A GUARDIAN ANGEL FOR YOU.
LOVE THE GOLDSTEINS

Dear Scott, Jill, Fredda and family,
It's been a very long time since I've seen you, Scott, but of course my mom has been telling me about what was going on with Hannah. I was so sad for you when I first heard about Hannah's illness, and now, just completely heartbroken about your loss. Her beauty, gentleness and sweetness shine through from her photograph, so I can just imagine the abundance of love and joy she brought in to your life. You are incredible, courageous, loving people and anyone who has followed your journey has been touched and deeply moved by the lengths to which you have gone for your little girl. The image of Herbie welcoming her and holding her in his arms is one that I've thought about many times over the last few days. I hope that the words from all the people in this guestbook and the thoughts and prayers of all the people who know you will bring comfort to you in this very sad time.
Love,

Herzog checking in again.................Your recent guestbook entries have been so eloquent in their wishes for you, my current thoughts seem in adequate. It really is to hard for me to imagine the pain and loss that the both of you currently feel today. Time is the great equalizer, and over it you will not hurt as much, even though presently its unimaginable. I wish upon the both of you peace of mind. "When both body and mind are at peace, all things appear as they are, perfect, complete, and lacking nothing." A quote from an old Asian philosopher. Chemo has given me some new viewpoints on life, but it has also kept me indoors,and I am sorry I was not able to attend the funeral. I only truly wish that G-d in his infinite wisdom grants you some solace that Hannah is out of pain and is watching over you now with such pride. For the both of you have sacrificed so much of your lives for your daughter, She is smiling down upon you and will give you the strength for the both of you, together, to continue with your lives. Over the last months I know that the both of you had immeasurable compassion for you beautiful daughter, but if that compassion does not include yourselves, it is incomplete. Your did everything humanly possible and any feelings of any misgivings or guilt would be totally out of place. Useless emotions not to be experienced. Again Scott and Jill, the both of you, and Hannah will be in my prayers for years to come, what brave, strong fighters you three have been. You have taught so many people the meaning of love and the quite strength needed to accomplish anything you set your mind to and I'm sure, anyone connected to you and this saga over these months will have a new outlook on life and its importance in living each day to its fullest (your wish). In reading your last entry, I went through so many tissues, my heart is breaking for current sorrow. Please try to remain strong and lean on eachother, for the both of you are your greatest supporters and share the most of Hannah and her beautiful smile, bubbly personality and her strength. Love always Joe

Guys,
There are no words to express everyone's grief at this time. There is nothing that can be said to ease your pain. But, Hannah is no longer in pain and is playing happily in heaven with some wonderful people who will take special care of her. I pray for you, Jill & Scott, that you can find a way to continue your lives, never forgetting Hannah, but finding the strength to go on. I think Mindy said it best- Hannah would want you both to hug each other and cuddle with each other and find the strength to go on within each other. I hope that the doctor's can find some further insight into NP and that Hannah has paved the way to help other children with their fight. Scott, your speech yesterday was beautiful and I was very impressed with your strength and your ability to do that. I don't think many people would have had that ability. You have so many people beside you during these rough times. Please, do not hesistate to call if I can do anything to help you.

I am not sure there are many of us who could have had the strength and intestinal fortitude that both of you have to have made such an incredible journey. Your support network was amazing and both of you will always be our heroes. Hannah may be gone but she will never be forgotten and will live in all of our hearts forever.

Herzog checking in again..................Scott and Jill I again wish you my condaoleneces at this time. I'm so sorry that Hannah after all her struggles, and yours, passed away. I find myself somewhat tongue-tied as to how to communicate my next thoughts. Hannah will live through the both of you for the rest of your lives. Her courage and strength, her bright smiles and bubbly personality which showed itself when you were in Minn. None of that will be forgotten, not should it be. The both of you are shinning examples and an inpiration to all couples that face tough times. I'm so sorry for your loss. Please try to remember the good times that you experienced with your daughter. Hannah lived more in her 13 months and experienced more love and compassion from her parents, friends and acquaintences, even strangers, that most of us experience in our entire lives. Stay strong togehter and lean on eachother and you will survive with your memories of Hannah's smile, not her struggles, for she had you two with her thoughout all this, and she felt secure and loved and eventhough sometimes uncomfortable, I truly believe happy knowing everytime she opened her eyes, you two were there. Love as always Joe

As a father of two young children, I first read with interest several months ago of your daughter Hannah's courageous fight supported by such love and care from so many. May you find peace of mind and strength knowing Hannah will always be with you and in your hearts. I am so very sorry for your loss.

Freehold, NJ USA - Friday, February 4, 2005 7:07 PM CST

Dear Stimells,

Please forgive me for intruding on your loss. I cannot even imagine the suffering that you both, your daughter and your families have gone through.

My aunt Susan also had NP disease. My grandparents, who lived in Toronto, used to live half the year in Boston for her treatment. They were not very wealthy, but would have done anything for her. For some reason, Susan lived past all expectations, into her 30s. Anonymous photos of her are to be found in some of the medical texts along with case studies. My family had hoped that her struggle would also help other families with children suffering from this disease. That was her greatest wish also.

I now have a young daughter, and am always thankful for the blessing that she is. Your daughter was beautiful, and I'm sure also a blessing. I don't think that anyone can truly appreciate the belssing that a child brings to her parents until the day she is born - and then every day after that.

Please accept my heartfelt condolences.

Scott and Jill,
How saddened I was to hear the awful news today, I could not hold back my tears. My heart and love go out to you and Jill. Although we do not know each other, Hannah and your family have touched me in an immeasurable way. I can only wish, that, I could offer you and your family comfort and support in these troubling times. Being a father a 17month old boy, I can not begin to imagine the trials and tribulation these times bring. But, I can say that this world has lost a courageous, blessed, inspiring, and beautiful girl. I remember back in December, when I read in the NY Times article how after, I felt the same optimism that you and Jill felt. I just knew and prayed that she would be the miracle baby, I am so sorry it was not meant to be. Please accept my sincerest condolences. And Scott, she is with your Dad. She is now a helper of God, watching over all of us, and protecting us everyday. God needed her more than us. With all my love, Favian.

I know the days, weeks, months ahead will be difficult but take each day one at a time ... now it's Hannah's turn to take care of her wonderful parents. We will all always be here for you. You are two very couragious individuals with a network of fantastic people behind you, don't be afraid to continue to reach out to them. God bless you.

Love

Scott & Jill:

As I read the terrible news on the web, I couldn't contain my sadness in hearing of your loss.

Your baby will be in God's good hands, and her spirit will always endure in our hearts.

Thank you for sharing your story with the world, and thank you for fighting for your beloved Hannah.

Dear Jill and Scott,
Ever since I read about your brave family in the NYT, I have hoped that I would not see the follow-up article I read today. I am so sorry for your loss, and am in awe of your contribution to advancing medicine. Please accept my deepest sympathies.

DEAR TEAM HANNAH:
YOU ARE TRULY AN INSPIRATION TO EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US. IMAGINE A DR. COMING FROM MINNESOTA BECAUSE HE GOT TO KNOW YOUR FAMILY THROUGH HANNAH. IMAGINE A FUNERAL HOME PACKED WITH YOUNG AND OLD TO SAY GOODBYE TO YOUR LITTLE GIRL. IMAGINE A FAMILY HAVING THE COURAGE TO STAND BEFORE EVERYONE AND SAY THEIR GOODBYES. IMAGINE FRIENDSHIP SO DEEP, THE WOUNDS ARE FELT BY THEM AS WELL. IMAGINE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE SIGNED IN THESE MANY MONTHS OFFERING PRAYERS AND POSITIVE ENERGY TO GET YOU THROUGH ALL OF THIS. IMAGINE THE STRANGERS WHO HEARD OF HANNAH AND HER FAMILY AND CONTINUED TO SIGN HER GUESTBOOK. IMAGINE ALL THOSE PEOPLE WHO READ OF HANNAH'S PLIGHT, NOT SIGNING IN BUT NOT SILENT OFFERING PRAYERS FOR ALL OF YOU. IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAME TO GIVE BLOOD AND PLATELETS. IMAGINE ALL THE PEOPLE. NO NOT IMAGINE, IT HAPPENED AND IT WAS A REALITY AND BECAUSE OF HANNAH WE LEARNED ABOUT SACRIFICE AND LOVE AND JOY AND SADNESS. HANNAH TAUGHT US ALL AS DID HER PARENTS AND HER FAMILY.
WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS OUR SADNESS FOR YOUR LOSS, BUT WE HOPE SOME COMFORT WILL ONE DAY COME TO PASS, FOR HANNAH WAS A PIONEER AND PERHAPS THROUGH HER A CURE WILL BE FOUND FOR THIS DREADED DISEASE.
WITH OUR LOVE, THE GOLDSTEINS

I first read about little Hannah in December, and was so saddened to read the follow-up story in today's NY Times. I just wanted to let you know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Our Creator has a purpose for all of us, no matter how short a lifetime may be. I pray that He will keep you strong and lift your hearts again soon.

Grand Rapids, MI US - Friday, February 4, 2005 1:06 PM CST

I learned of Hannah's illness a number of months ago from my friend and co-worker, Kerry Ennis. I have followed your journey since then and am quite saddened to learn it has ended with Hannah's passing. Words fail to communicate such great losses. But one thing is for sure -- your child was loved enormously during her time on earth, more than many people experience in a lifetime. Her legacy lives on with that love, as do the teachings of her treatment that can be used for years to come with other children afflicted with this cruel disease. She was as lucky to have both of you, as you were to have her. My prayers are with you.

Take care of one another.

Dear Jill and Scott, You are remarkable people and Hannah was truly a remarkable little girl. I only knew her through newspaper articles and yet the tears keep flowing. She touched so many people and all three of you have given a gift to all of us through your courage as well as through the knowledge that will help to save other children. There are no words to express my sympathies so I will leave it with the traditional, may you be comforted with the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem.

I read about your daughter in the NY Times. It's obvious you tried every avenue possible to save your daughter, but sometimes God has other plans. Perhaps something the doctors learned will help another child in the future. Even though I have 3 sons, I can only begin to imagine the enormity of your loss. Bless you and your family in this difficult time.

Dear Stimell family,

I just read the news of Hannah's passing in the NYT this morning. I am deeply saddened by your loss, and send wishes for you to be comforted. I want to again commend you for your decision to give Hannah every opportunity possible to fight for her life, and even though her battle is now over, I believe that her struggle will help to pave the way for others in the future, who might ultimately succeed. Hannah, although your time on earth was short, the life you led has touched many, and with great purpose. I pray that your spirit carries on.

Dear Jill and Scott - I never met Hannah, but once when 'Grandma" Kathi was babysitting she held the phone to Hannah's ear, and after a little prodding and a lot of babbling on my part, Hannah giggled for me - what a gift! My heart is bruised now and I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and wishing you even more strength as you go through this most difficult day of your lives. I hope you can feel Hannah's little hands touching yours today trying to comfort you, as you comforted her every day; your Warrier Princess is now your Guardian Angel. I hope you can find peace knowing that Hannah is now at peace. You have my deepest sympathy, Jodine

I regret that I hadn't heard of you before today and that my prayers couldn't have started sooner. I will pray for you as you miss Hannah so much, and pray for Hannah as she misses you in heaven. I think she's up there smiling on you and thanking you for doing everything you possibly could for her, and I'm sure she knows you couldn't have ever loved her more.

There are so many people that I want to tell you about who helped along the way and who are sending their heartfelt wishes your way. You have no idea how many lives you have touched. Universally everyone loves you and is praying for you. You brought out the best in the hearts of perfect strangers. My goal throughout this is to raise awareness of the critical nature of umbilical cord blood donations. It helped Hannah have a chance and it can help so many many more people.

Dear Jill and Scott,
In deepest sorrow, we read your beautiful tribute to Hannah Mollie today and join your terrible heartbreak over her loss. There can be no greater pain than the loss of a child but perhaps there is comfort in knowing that she is no longer suffering after the heroic battle she and you so bravely fought. Through these terrible months, reading your bulletins, we have come to know you so much better. Surely Hannah also knew, even though she couldn't express it, that she had the most loving and wonderful parents, who gave every ounce of their strength and their whole being to her, cherished her and sacrificed for her. In her short life she received more love than many others get in a whole lifetime. We too will remember her with affection. Anne and Gideon

Dear Scott and Jill,
I have followed your story through my cousin Andrew over these past months. It was a terrible shock to hear the news of Hannah's passing yesterday. I wish you both the very best as you regroup and begin the process of recovery from the loss of your beautiful daughter, Hannah. It was heartbreaking to hear of your incredible story and your loss. Words could never express how sorry I am for you and your family.

Herzog checking in..............I'm so sorry about the heartbreaking news with reference to the passing of your baby girl. No words can console how the both of you must feel. I want you to know that I think you both are the greatest parents ever. You have been an inspiration to so many people and have affected so many lives during these past months, and that will never be forgotten. There should be some small relief knowing that Hannah is no longer suffering and that she passed calmly in your arms. Her last thoughts were of love and security, what all kids want and desire. My heart literally is breaking for the both of you, but please stay strong and lean on eachother for you both are the continuing legacy of Hannah. Please accept my sincerest condolances at this time. I'm so sorry for the three of you, but the Hannah will live on through you and Jill as long as you alive. Love Joe

However, we found some comfort, and you should too, from your own words in your last entry, which truly expressed the strength you both possess and your deep and forever love for Hannah.

I have followed Hannah's story since I saw it in the NY Times. I am very sorry. I completely agree that she touched more people than many of us do in a lifetime.

“The agony is great and yet I will stand it.
Had I not loved so very much, I would not hurt so much.
But goodness knows, I would not want
To diminish the precious love by one fraction.
I will hurt and I will be grateful for it.
For it bears witness to the depth of our meanings
And for that I will be eternally grateful.”

Dear Jill and Scott - I'm so sad that your Princess Warrier passed on - what a brave little girl she was! My heart aches for you, and if I can offer any comfort at all, I truly believe that Hannah's illness and treatments were much harder on you than on your brave little angel - you were ALWAYS ALWAYS there with her - all she ever knew was that you held her and sang to her and comforted her and tickled her and cajoled her and were ALWAYS ALWAYS there with her! She never knew of the hard decisions that you had to make; she never knew that she was in grave danger or that every day brought unforseen risks; she never knew your fears of losing her. All Hannah knew was that you were ALWAYS ALWAYS there with her. And now your beautiful Princess Warrier will ALWAYS ALWAYS be with you - your Hannah Angel. The first time you awaken smiling at precious memories rather than aching with emptiness and loss, you'll know that your Hannah Angel kissed your hearts as you slept so that she could help you heal. Just as you were ALWAYS ALWAYS there for Hannah, let her be with you now. Live and smile and even laugh for Hannah - let love be her legacy in passing, just as it was love that gave her life and kept her living until she just had to let go. When it is my time to pass, it will be an honor to meet your daughter Hannah in heaven. You have my deepest sympathy, Jodine

we felt compelled to write again as ross and i cannot even describe in words how our hearts ache for you both. when they say "a broken heart" we know now what this really means. there hasn't been one single second today and every day in the last 9 months but especially today that the stimell family hasn't been on our minds. when we talk with our own family and friends, the same comments keeps coming up "those people are amazing, that little girl is amazing and how unselfish you all are for sharing her with us all". scott and jill, we cry for you and with you as well as both of your families. we know in our hearts there is nothing we can do or say to take this pain away. we hope that you find comfort in family and friends and know how much we all truly care. hannah is not in pain anymore and she's looking down on you with those big brown eyes forever and ever. she truly is everyones miracle.

Even more recently I found out we share a mutual friend and only today i found out about your website. I am soo sorry. I do not know how to make you feel that through my entry in this book but my heart is breaking for you.

I didn’t get to know your beautiful little Hannah well, but from the short time I spent with you I know that her life was one filled with overwhelming love. You and your wonderful family fought through each struggle together with Hannah, and she couldn’t have ever asked for more loving, supportive, and devoted parents. I pray that the love and support of your family, as well as your wonderful memories of Hannah will help you to somehow cope with this devastating tragedy. Hannah’s spirit will always live on through you and all of us whose lives she touched.

Dearest Scott and Jill
I spent the last half hour reading through today's journal entries and then had to add one of my own. This guestbook is a true testiment to the three of you - Scott, Jill, and Hannah. It represents a fraction of the lives you have touched over the last thirteen months. My G-d, you have made a difference. Nobody who has followed this journey will ever think or feel the same again. We have been enlightened by the strength, fortitude and courage the three of you have shown. You have put life into perspective - what is truly important and what should be carefully cherished, nurtured and cared for. You have shown humanism and wisdom beyond your years in the difficult choices you have carefully made. No one should ever be faced with the decision you had, but when faced with it you handled it with grace and dignity. And, by the way, did I tell you both that you are a great mommy and daddy and always will be to your beautiful baby girl, Hannah.

We love you with all of our aching hearts.

I posted an entry earlier, but there was more I wanted to say.
Their are few words that convey how I feel about your family, and the loss of Hannah. In checking 4-5 times a day, more recently, I wasn't expecting to read the sad news. My experience with Hannah and her lovely parents, has left a mark on me, and I will always remember Hannah's beautiful smile, and her playing with the blocks, reading her books, cruising around the Ronald McDonald House and capturing the heart of all who met her. I can't imagine what you have been through and I try to understand the unfairness of it all. I am thinking of you and praying for you both. I am so sorry for your loss, and everyone who has come in contact with Hannah, their loss. Please take care and know that I am thinking of you, and your family during this difficult time.

All three of your souls are already bound together for all eternity. There have never been, nor will there ever be parents more loving, committed or stronger that you. We all should take a lesson from you. May G-d comfort you and be with you all, forever. Love, Jill Rabin (LIJ)

Dix Hills, NY US - Wednesday, February 2, 2005 1:06 PM CST

Dear Jill and Scott,
We have been following Hannah's story since we met you at the RMH Gala last Oct. We hesitated to write, because we were concerned that our son Max's story would worry you, and now sadly you have lost your beautiful child too. While our children's jouneys are somewhat different much is the same, and we feel so deeply for your loss. No child or parent should ever have to endure what your family has endured.

Hannah was a beautiful little girl, and now is a beautiful little angel in heaven. The world is a better place because of her. You are such wonderful parents, and please know that many people are with you in spirit as you go through these most difficult days. You will be in our thoughts and in our prayers.

We are so saddened by this very tragic loss which touches all of us. Your beautiful daughter, whose picture I have saved was an incredible source of unity over this past year. She, each of you, Dr. Mindy Rausch, and your entire family have been such a sanctification of G-d's name and tremendous role models to all of us in terms of how to face adversity. I will miss the opportunity to meet this beautiful child. May you know no more sorrow.

It's hard to put into words how I feel after reading what Hannah is now going through. It's hard for me to imagine what you and Jill are going through as when my kids have a headache I'm visibly upset. Scott and Jill, words are just words, but know that everyone feels your pain and are praying that Hannah recovers quickly and that you can begin your lives again. I pray that you can find the strength that got you here and battle everything thrown down before you, for the two of you are two of the strongest people I know. You can do this together, lean on eachother and get your strength from eachother. Hannah will feel this strength. You're in my prayers constantly and I miss you. Love always Joe

DEAR TEAM HANNAH:

TODAY'S ENTRY IS HEARTWRENCHING FOR ALL OF YOU. WE ARE PRAYING EVER SO HARD AND KEEPING HANNAH IN OUR THOUGHTS AS A RECOVERED HEALTHY LITTLE GIRL. WE FEEL FOR YOU AND SCOTT AND WISH OTHER THAN THESE LITTLE NOTES DAILY, WE COULD DO MORE. THOSE OF US WHO ARE PARENTS CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE YOUR PAIN.

Not having heard from you yesterday, I hoped, was a good sign. Sadly, I was wrong. Your entry today means that we must redouble our efforts to pray for Hannah's recovery. Serious books and articles have been written on the power of prayer and belief. I know that the collective prayers and wishes of so many who care and stand with you will accomplish good things. WE ARE WITH YOU HANNAH.
Love,

Like many others the first thing I do in the am and the last thing at night (not to mention periodic checks throughout the day) is to "look in" on Hannah. Given today's news we all just have to pray that much harder. As my dad would say: "You never give up".

Sweetest Hannah,

Now more than ever, I am praying for you and I know that you can beat this. You have been through so much and can win this battle. Don't give up the fight and don't quit! With everything that has transpired in my life recently, I am looking to you to lift me up with your healing and the good news your mom and dad post on this site. Please let the next update be a better one and get well soon!!

All my love and prayers.

Herzog again..............Missed yesterday and am glad so many people are checking in to lend their support for you. As no update was done, I will assume no change. Scott and Jill, I'm so sorry these are the memories of Hannah's childhood you have thus far, again I relate an expression my father always told me, even though many times I didn't understand, everything always happens for a reason. Please remain strong and steadfast next to your little girl and continue to touch and talk to her. God's plan will soon show itself and the three of you can get on with your lives. Inspirational is not a large enough word to describe how the both of you have dealt with Hannah thus far. You both, and Hannah are in my daily prayers and thoughts. You are in so many people's daily prayers and thoughts that you must feel the power. Draw from it, as it is constantly revolving around you. Hope your getting a little rest when you can. Love always Joe

I am waiting for my HLA types. As soon as I know them I will call or email Mindy and figure out what is the next step. We are all cousins so hopefully I will be able to help. Ana, Bess and Shirley always told me you (Scott) are my "kissing cousin". I have no idea what that means but just imagine what kind of cousin that makes Hannah??

I have been thinking of you all. I wish there was something I could do or something I could say to help. Hang in there -- Love Lara

Scott, in my search for blood and platelets for Hannah, I have met several people who knew you from growing up in your home town. Each and every one of them only has nice things to say about you and wish your family well. I hope to read some more good news later today. Thanks so much for the updates.

Scott,
Recieving your call the other day was heartwarming! I only wish that I could wave a magic wand to have Hannah on a full road to recovery,,,,,,,,, My thoughts and prayers will be for you to face each day with hope, faith and continous requests for a miracle for that precious daughter of yours - "She" will give you the strength and courage to face it all! Scott, all of your endeavors that you dicussed with me will become realities - Most important right now is for you and your healing circle of friends to take one step, one day, one moment at a time and generate love and light to Hannah's beautiful soul - Also I'm hoping that you have the "Magic of Music" sorrounding her at all times...... It will fill her soul with joy - So, please stay in touch and I look forward to meeting you one day soon .......... Focus on her magnificence and cherish each day and smile live love and laugh - With Warmth Geri

Herzog again...........Scott, your last update was like a breath of fresh air after the previous entries you made. I agree the improvement may be small in the overall picture, but boy, I interpet this as a giant step as opposed to baby steps. Maybe this will be the turnaound for Hannah's body to start to fight back and recouperate at the rate we have become accustomed to from her. I only hope that both you and Jill are taking care of eachother as best as you can considering the circumstances, not only for yourselves, but obviously Hannah knows when you're there and I'm sure she wants one of you there all the time, normal behavior I guess. Stay strong the two of you. If you both could feel all the love and prayers that are encircling you just from the people that check into this site, you will have the strength to do anything. Love always joe

Herzog again................Over the past few months I have become closer to my blessings than ever before, they say that happens. One blessing that was anawered was that all this crap was happening to me, and not my children. Scott and Jill, I really can't imagine, only sympathize with you and what you go through on a daily basis with Hannah. To me the unimaginable is not being able to do anything when my kids are sick. Well, you guys are obviously stronger than me. I know the adage that you do what you have to, but guys, you have been doing is so long with such grace and harmony, such tenacity and a quite compassion and love for Hannah, you both are role models for everyone. Please stay strong while I pray for your continued strength to endure, fight and love eachother and Hannah everyday. Joe

Herzog again..............I have been sleeping for two days, sorry for missing my entries. Scott, just read your last entry, I am truly at a loss for words. My heart breaks for you, Jill and Hannah, just imagining what you have been through and continue to muddle through. A small prayer comes to mind, Recognize your deep desire to live in peace and safety and love, and to have the support you need to practice mindfulness for your self and loved ones. Scott, you have the support from so many different fronts, and I'm sure I am not alone when I say, I think of the three of you all, all, all the time and pray that God is watching and will soon intervene in your lives and put Hannah on her way to recovery. Please don't loose hope or the wonder of miracles, for without hope, we loose everything. As long as Hannah continues to fight, history has shown she will conquer and out last all obstacles thrown at her. You are being thought of by many and are being prayed for by many. Stay tough with love and hope. Joe

this is about the 4th time i've tried to write today but deleted my entry. we were so upset to read the last entry this morning. we log on everyday just praying and literally keeping our fingers crossed that the news is good and hannah is moving forward with her recovery. this is just not fair that this poor little angel baby has to endure this. i wish i can say something that will make you smile or laugh or anything just to not see or hear you all so sad. we feel just so helpless in all of this. hopefully tomorrow will be some better news and hannah will finally start that road to recovery and this rollercoaster will just finally let you guys off! when you're kissing hannah tonight which i'm sure you do lots of, please remember to give one from us! we'll check back in tomorrow. goodnight!

I was saddened to hear about Hannah's set backs but know that everyone's prayers and thoughts will help all of you get through these trying times. I have spread the news about the need to donate blood and platelets to those around me. My thoughts and prayers will continue. I have put Hannah on my prayer list a church and know she is being prayed for every day. May you continue to have the strength to get you through these days. God bless all of you,

Dear Jill, Scott and Hannah,

I am so sorry to hear the heartache that you are continuing to go through today. Just remember that Hannah is such an amazing little girl. So many people who don't even know this precious baby keep asking me for updates and are keeping her in their prayers. My friend from work just returned from donating blood and told me that she was sitting next to a woman who came from New Jersey to donate (this woman did not know Hannah either). Hannah has touched the hearts of so many people. Keep believing in the power of love and prayer.

Scott, Jill and Hannah - some good news here - St. Mary's Parish in Manhasset - where our 2 daughters were baptized - is putting a notice in the parish bulletin about Hannah for this weekend along with the blood center information. It is a very active and full parish. I wuld bet that by the end of the weekend we will have even more donors - and these will be close by. Hopefully Hannah will be able to clear the obstacles before her soon. We will continue to pray and we are with you. Love,

Hannah is a real fighter but she is having a very hard time. I must say that the strength of Jill and Scott and of the entire family is inspiring and I feel very proud to be a part of such a wonderful extended and loving family. Through this we have become closer than most inlaws ever get and I am grateful to have gotten to know Jill's family so well. We will continue to be by Hannah's side and help her, Scott and Jill. Please continue to write in this journal. It serves as a source of strength for Jill and Scott.

hey scott and jill
so sorry to hear about what's going on today with hannah. this is a horrible rollercoaster ride and we feel for you all so very much. just so you know, and i know that we've told you in our emails, but again, we're getting tremendous response from the jcc's letter. people want desperately to donate to hannah with the hopes of making a difference and really helping her. i'm glad to see that there's so many awesome people who genuinly do care and that possibly will be a match for hannah. we're advising the callers to inquire about donating platelets as well as the blood so hopefully they will be a match. we know the platelet matches are most likely to come from the family but you never know and like you stated, donate them to someone else to make a difference! we're checking the website regularly and know you guys are in our thoughts and prayers all day everyday! we're planning on a visit hopefully this weekend assuming everyone is over their colds, etc.
love, stephanie <sfeldy221@aol.com>

Herzog again.............Some belated birthday wishes for you Scott. The only thing that drives you currently is for Hannah to feel better and return from her current state, so I wish for you that Hannah will in fact get well soon so you can continue to care and love her the way you have been since August, which seems like a lifetime ago. I would love to give some blood, but the hospitals would not accept it because of the circumstances, maybe in 3 or 4 weeks. I feel that Hannah,in her own way is making a recovery, although slow, progress is being made. You must, along with Jill hang tough and support Hannah by being in her room and talking with her and touching her, she feels it. We love you Simells, and although you may feel that you have been living a nightmare, be aware that understanding is the very foundation of love and compassion. And you my friends are in such abundance. Stand by eachother and love eachother and Hannah will feel the warmth and get stronger. Atay strong, Love always Joe

Although I remain home in the storm today I spoke to Scott and things are pretty much unchanged. We don't expect Hannah to get better rapidly. We hope for small, consistent improvement: baby steps to health. Tomorrow is Scott's birthday and he will spend a good part of the day donating platelets for Hannah. Hannah will never forget her daddy's braveness on her birthday. We pray that this year will be a better one for Jill, Scott and Hannah and that as a gift, Scott sees some improvement in Hannah.

DEAR JILL:
WE ARE IN FLORIDA FOR THE BOND DINNER AND HAD OUR EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING THIS MORNING. I ASKED EVERYONE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW OF YOUR PLIGHT AND NEED FOR O NEGATIVE BLOOD. MANY ARE RETURNING TO NEW YORK TOMORROW AND I SUGGESTED THEY CALL LINDA AT MATZA,S OFFICE,. IF SHE DOES NOT HAVE THE MATCH NUMBER THAT'IS NEEDED, PERHAPS SOMEONE IN YOUR FAMILY CAN CALL HER, AND GIVE HER THE INFORMATION,SHOULD ANYONE CALL.
HANNAH HAS PROVEN OVER AND OVER AGAIN WHAT A LITTL FIGHTER SHE IS AND CONTINUES TO DO SO. WE KNOW YOU AND SCOTT ARE NOT GIVING UP AND HANNAH KNOWS THAT AS WELL.

TO JOE HERZOG, YOU TOO, ARE AN INSPIRATION, WITH ALL YOU ARE GOING THROUGH YOURSELF, YOUR MESSAGES, AND WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT ARE A SOURCE OF HOPE TO NOT ONLY THE STIMELLS, BUT TO ALL THOSE FIGHTING THE DEMONS OF DISEASE AND ILLNESS.

OUR PRAYERS AND POSITIVE ENERGY CONTINUE TO BE WITH ALL OF YOU, LOVE THE GOLDSTEINS

Jill , Scott and beautiful Hannah,
So nice to read of the most recent good news! I will be praying for Hannah, that her platelet situation will improve and that you are back home where you belong soon! I have to say that I am so touched by your friends, family and strangers that all care so much. The outpouring and coming together of so many people who know, and don't know one another, is truly amazing. I know god can hear our prayers and Hannah's health will continue to improve. I hope that Hannah is having a better, more peaceful day today. You are all in my thoughts constantly, and in my prayers always. Herzog, saying a special prayer for you as well. Take care and hang in there. Looking forward to seeing Hannah's beautiful face, and you both, when you return to Minnesota.
Love!

Herzog again..................Took my last chemo treatment last monday, left with the neupogen shots, and eventually radiation for five of six weeks, along with the massive amount of medication still to take, still a long road, but an end in sight. I tell you this Scott and Jill to tell you that you, among my immediate family members have given me the strength to fight and continue through all the emotional and phycical turmoil that is associated with what I had. The both of you are stronger than you think and you both can withstand anything that Hannah, her doctors, God, whoever, throws any hard balls at you. Stay strong, lean on eachother and there will be nothing that the both of you cannot conquer. You both are an inspiration to anyone who knows you, and especially to Hannah, your reason for living, she knows your there by her bedside and it is giving her strength. Hold her hand and talk to her and assure her everything will be ok, and it will be. Will it and it will happen. Don't loose hope, you have a tremendous following of people who care about you and are praying for you everyday, Love always Joe

Herzog again...................It's hard for me not being MD oriented whether the news is comforting or upsetting, but knowing that Hannah is still fighting and continuing to hold on is something for me to hold on to. Scott, your last entry was simply overwhelming, please hold on to your hopes and dreams of things to come, as I'm sure all your prayers and strength and love along with the support of your loving wife will be what you need to continue to fight and hold on to the Hannah you love and support so much. You have given so much of yourselves, God will not let these moments go unoticed and unrewarded. Even is the darkest of hours, there are positives, understanding is the very foundation of love and compassion. All this is happening for a reason, don't try to understand, just accept and love, it conquers all. My prayers, my thoughts, my good wishes and my love go out to you each and every day Scott and Jill. You are thought of often, just look at the feedback in this guestbook. Try to keep your spirits up as trite of an expresssion as that sounds. BE aware that bllaming and arguing never help us and only create a gap between us. Stay together with Jill, it will give you strength. Love always. Joe

To all journal readers
Hannah continues to fight. She is an incredible little girl and I believe she feels the positive energy of the entire extended family and friends. Yesterday we did receive some very positive news. Hannah has normal enzyme levels which means that this illness is not Niemann Pick - it is not because Hannah has rejected her transplant. This is wonderful because if Hannah's enzyme levels were abnormal, the game would be over. Instead, we are still playing the game. Hannah remains on the ventillator but the doctors have weaned her settings and her lungs are doing better. The main problem she has right now is the fact that she is chewing up her platelets and so we will continue to replace them but she is having some bleeding secondary to her inability to clot. Scott, Howie and Eric are all platelet matches and have donated generously. Right now, cousins and uncles and aunts are being tested. We want to thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts for getting tested. You will be a part of Hannah's recovery. We must all think positively. So, please continue to pray for us and send your notes on this website. I promise they are read daily. And to Kathy and Howie, thanks for your praise. Every single family member is doing whatever we can and know how to do and it takes a whole family to get through this.
Love
Mindy

We just spoke to the blood bank and it will cost 135 dollars for each direct donation and so if you are O neg and you would like to donate directly, you will be charged this fee. If you would like to donate to the bank this will also help Hannah because it will help ensure we wont run out of Oneg blood in general so the more people that donate the better. Thanks for everyone's help.

Hannah is hanging in there but things are very tenuous and we don't know what will be from day to day. To our cousin, Bob Stimell, thankyou for taking the initiative and getting tested for platelets so quickly yesterday. I look forward to meeting you in person one day. And, Suzanne, it was great talking to you. Thankyou to Steven Stimell for getting the ball rolling. We will speak later today. We need everyone to be on board with this platelet issue. If Hannah can't clot she will continue to bleed and the best platelets are matches from family members so..... please continue to pray for this little girl, Scott and Jill. Hannah is an amazingly strong fighter and Scott and Jill have shown tremendous strength and grace throughout this ordeal. I am so proud to be a part of this incredible family.

Mindy,
I would like to get my platelets tested to see if the hla
types match, but I don't have a physician to give me a referral to the lab. Do I need a referral? I do have O negative blood and don't know if this would make the possibility greater that the platelets would match. I will help you as soon as I get an answer about the referral. My home number is 973-263-2255 and cell is 201-819-0829.

Herzog again............I continually am amazed how all your friends, family, acquaintences and strangers are able to string their words together to give such support and prayers. Some of the entries actually can bring tears. I had said that Hannah can hear and know you are there, as was evidenced by one of the more recent entries. Please do not give up hope, constantly talk to Hannah and touch her, she knows you are there and I'm sure comforts her, even unconscioulsy. Hy heart goes out for the three of you and hope and pray that this "nightmare" will end soon with Hannah bouncing back again as she has so often. AS diffficult as it is to let negative thoughts creep into your minds, remember this...."Be determined to cultivate only thoughts that increase trust and love" (THIGH NHAT HANH). Scott and Jill, I think of you all the time and hope that Hannah receives all the prayers that are being sent to her from so many people from so many places. Love always Joe

My Dearest Jill, Scott and Hannah -
As everyone knows from reading these entries - Hannah's condition is very serious. I visited on Tuesday and saw a minor miracle that I want to share with you all. Hannah is not conscious. She is not breathing on her own and she lay in a bed hooked up to many machines. Jill pulled me into the room and it was just she and I and Hannah. Jill told me to watch this - she stroked Hannah's hand and head and talked to her. Hannah - after hearing her Mom's voice - moved her foot and her hand and her heart rate jumped. She absolutely knew that her Mom was in the room. Jill and Scott's families were all there - and I don't know why - but I am constantly amazed by their strength, support and unity. They are ALL very special people.

I know that you feel helpless and you are so very frustrated - but, Hannah really does know you are there. I am both amazed and in awe of Hannah's strength - and both of yours as well. The lessons I learn from you three and your family on a daily basis - I will carry with me for the rest of my life and they make me a better Mother and person.

I love you all and am always here for you - all of you.

Jack's brother is also going to donate - he is O- and we will ship it out. We just need a file number. People are mobilized to help in whatever way possible.

Bridgewater, NJ - Wednesday, January 19, 2005 4:20 PM CST

Herzog again.........and to all Journal readers......This is an emotional entry for me, I even lost the first entry due to I'm sure nervousness. Has a heartfelt conversation with Scott this afternoon and He informed me Hannah is not doing well. She is in tremendous need of platlets, but there are other problems that the doctors seem a little baffled on to aid in her recovery. Jill is loosing weight and Scott seemed preoccupied and very sad. Scott, I know how difficult it is to see someone you love more than life itself in so much discomfort and feel useless that there is nothing you can do. But just by being by Hannah's bedside is giving her strength, she knows it and I'm sure its giving her comfort. Scott, God is looking down, he has to be and will hopefully not forget all that three of you have been though on your journey. I ask that all journal readers give as much support and prayers, as you have done over these months to help raise the spirits of these very special people. I care for the Stimells so much, I'm only sorry that there is nothing more I can do for them except pray and wish them well and that Hannah, with her tenacious fighter instinct will again rally to get well. I continue to pray and hope that someone is listening and will our combined prayers. Love always Joe

To all journal readers
Platelets are not an issue for non relatives as we need HLA matched platelets which are only from relatives. What we need from the public(our friends and extended family and anyone who would like to donate) is O negative packed red blood cells. We are still working on setting up the way to do it and will give you more of an update later today.
You can try to call and ask if it is set up yet. Our family is actively working on getting our platelets donated and are busily concentrating on this right now.
Thanks

To all journal readers
Thankyou all so very much for your kind thoughts and your generous outpouring of support and wishes to donate blood and platelets to Hannah. You have no idea how much we appreciate this and we feel this positive energy all the way to LIJ and into Hannah's room. We failed to do our homework properly and so many of you have informed us that you need a file number. We had a rather busy day today which included a meeting with a difficult and unsupportive individual at LIJ and Hannah needed some procedures which included changing of her central lines and placement of some additional lines. All in all, the blood bank info got sent to the bottom of the pile and we failed to get the file number that so many of you are asking for - sorry. We will attempt to get that for you tomorrow and email or call you individually with that info as we prefer that it not be public on this website
Thanks from the bottom of our hearts
Mindy

Hello, we have forwarded the need for donations to several people, some of them are matches and will become donors...When they called the 1-800 number, they have found out that in order to donate specifically directly to Hannah, they need to receive a file &/or group number, and that a Dr. needs to issue a perscription to the center at 800-439-6876. From that point someone can call in and make arrangements for donation for a specific case. Is there a file or group number to access? As always, our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Herzog again.................AT this stage I hope your next check-in will be with more positive news about your Hannah. I remember some time ago I had mentioned to someone I just wanted to lead a normal life, the response was there is no normal, just life, so get on with getting on living it, the problem was I didn't know how. WE all at some points in our lives have to make decisions, and right now your life is totally centered aroung Hannah and all her needs. All other priorities are on a back burner, but remember how the both of you got here, by understanding, comapassion and love between the both of you, don't loose sight of this during these very trying times. So many people continue to pray and think of you on a daily basis. Stay strong, committed, and driected as to what you have to do and Hannah will do the rest, as she had done over the last 6 months. Due to mitigatiing circumstanses, I don't think you would want my blood currently, but in the furure, I will be the first on line. God bless the three of you and remember, it sometimes gets darker before the light around the corner. Thinking of you always, love always, Joe

hi it is scott and i just wanted to write in the guestbook.hannah is truly very very sick and is on life support, she is breathing only with the aid of a machine (this has been self induced as to protect her strength as well as prevent her from going into respiratory distress
this is tearing us apart to see her this way. there are many things wrong at this point and it seems so difficult to believe our beautiful little girl must try and endure all this. her liver is enlarging, she still can't keep her platlets, she has an infection in her lungs etc.. etc..
please g-d help her!!!! please she is our world and deserves better. to say things are extremely scary and difficult at this time would be an understatement. thanks for all your caring and it is difficult but we will try and keep you updated. please pray and please hannah fight hard we all love and need her!!!!-scott and jill

I wasn't quite sure how to reach out to you and your family during this difficult time, especially since it seems like a lifetime since we've been in contact with one another.

I just read the update,Im so sorry to hear about her setback. I emailed Mindy about donating platelets for Hannah. If we are the same type I want to come in to donate. I am a frequent donor, I know what donating platelet entails, I have a high platelet count and I want to help you if I can.
Thinking of you all

Dear Stimmels, Remember that your Minnesota team is cheering for you too! When you're back for Hannah's 6-month check-up (it's just a few days after mine, so I'm keeping track), let's get together for a meal and celebration. Our daughter Lynn will be back in NY soon, so we have you covered on both ends. Rest, breathe, heal! Grow, platelets, grow! Jane

My thoughts, prays and love are with you always.

I recently saw Hannah and her beautiful Mommy on the Boardwalk in Long Beach. I was so amazed at the sparkle in Hannah’s big brown eyes, which also captured the heart of her physician. They say that the eyes are the windows to your soul and when you look into Hannah’s eyes you feel that she knows how much her parents love her and how much she loves them.

I am keeping the good thought and asking everyone I know to say a pray.

Even though the three of you have been through so much and won so many battles, I guess we are all human and you can get battle fatigued. Well, Its OK to feel that way.

Herzog again..............On a daily basis, my prayers include Hannah, and you Scott along with Jill. Intensive care is a good thing if Hannah is not doing well. She will feel better and be strong soon. By definition, all she has been through has proven time and time again, she is a fighter and a survivor. I hope the two of you are remaining as focused as possible during these tough times. Please do the things you have done over the past 5 or 6 months, cause it will get better again and Hannah and the both of you will continue the miracle journey, as long as it seems, it will come to a satisfying and healthy conclusion. Again, so many people are thinking of you guys, such positive energy won't go to waste. As always, love Joe

Dear Jill, Scott and Hannah:

Boy, do we miss you at the Ronald McDonald House! But of course I am happy that you are all back home where you belong! And it is indeed so cold here, it is inhuman!! You left at the right time. Sorry to hear about Hannah's set-back, but it sounds like she is already bouncing back, as usual. She is a fiesty one, and I have no doubt she'll be just fine. I was so thrilled to see your article in the NYT. I did not recall it was coming (although Tony had mentioned it I'm sure!) but when I brought in my paper at home from the front porch, there I saw that fabulous article and the compelling photos. It's good for people to learn about Neimann-Pick through your moving story. And everyone wishes well for sweet Hannah. Please give my regards to your family. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Keep those updates coming. I like to check in on you guys that way. Much Love, Orlee

Dix Hills, NY - Sunday, January 9, 2005 8:25 PM CST

Herzog again............The saga seems to continue like a Michner novel. I don't think I understood what exactly happened at the hospital but as has been said, Hannah is now being taken care of. Mindy's constant "journal readers" entries are appreciated as sometimes this is the only update that is current. Sometimes it is hard to come up with words of encouragement when it seems like life is throwing punches at you with brass knuckles. But in reality, your choices don't exist, you must continue to fight, claw, and survive, as you three have done so amazingly over these months. Know that everyone continues to pray for you, thinks of you, and supports you in everything you do and wishes nothing but health and happiness for you for the rest of your lives. Your tenacity, toughness, coupled with so much love and compassion should be a model for everyone to follow. As always, love Joe

SAYVILLE, NY USA - Sunday, January 9, 2005 10:07 AM CST

To all journal readers
Hannah is hanging in there. As Scott said, she is growing 2 different bacteria from one of her indwelling lines. We are grateful that it was caught early enough and she is receiving antibiotics. Along with the infection her blood counts have dropped; she received lots of packed red blood cells and her HBG is more than it needs to be thanks to that medication error. Her platelet count, however, is not responding and she has very low platelets. For some reason, due to the infection, her body is chewing up platelets and she is needing transfusions atleast daily. We are hoping that today's counts get better. Scott is home with a stomach virus which leaves Jill on her own to take care of Hannah. The grandparents have been chipping in their time and we thank them all for their tireless(well, maybe that's not such a great word because I think they are very tired) efforts. We also thank Howie and David for going to bat for Hannah and making the necessary phone calls to the Chairman of Pediatrics at LIJ. It's important to "be connected" in more ways than one, unfortunately. We hope that the care she gets will be safe from now on. Dan and I are doing whatever we can to ensure this as well.

Herzog again..........Trying not to be too repetitive, the three of you are in my prayers all the time. I constantly review the guestbook entries to see who is signing in, between sleeps and financial statements. May God in his infinite wisdom grant you some restful times ahead, and the strength to continue what you have been so successful at thus far, surviving and going forward. The word fight should be redefined when the Stimells are involved. Thinking of you always. Love Joe

Herzog again.............Sorry to hear of Hannah's admission to the hospital. It must be so difficult to administer all you have to do on a daily basis, and maintain the protocal you must do. I can't imagine, it must be so hard. But a small profundity, childhood comes with an expiration date, so try to enjoy as much as you possibly can on a daily basis with Hannah. This might be obvious and trite, but it did cross my mind as I'm now on a new awareness program of all my family and their happenings, I missed so much. Sorry for not checking in daily, the days are not so good. Stay well the both of you and know that not only me, but so many people are thinking of you and wishing you and Hannah well. Love Joe

Herzog again.................I saw Scott yesterday, as he opened up the store. An event which will remain unspoken. Dropped another $400 in cash. It never fails, if I go to visit, I have to buy something. Reflex maybe? Scott looked good and maybe even rested, although I don't think home is currenlty a place to relax. Scott, please get help soon, things will get more better (a golf term). Scott's playfulness is still present, but an overtone of seriousness has crept into him. Please set priorities Scott, Your doing fine. It's OK to be a little slow at this time of year. You will make it up, even if I have to visit more often. Love and Kisses Joe

Dear Fellow Journal readers
I spoke to Scott tonight and he told me that Hannah's story will be in the Science part of the NY Times tomorrow. This is truly amazing. Because of this publicity other families with Nieman Pick have already been connected with the Minnesota group and these children may have a chance they wouldn't have had before. Hats off to Scott and Jill for their courage, and of course, to Dr. Charlie Peters for making it all possible.

Herzog again........Hi Scott, Jill and Hannah. Haven't checked everyday, not feeling too well. But I wish the three of you all the joy from Chanakauh, all the joy that comes from a first birthday, all the joy that is shared by a family that has surmounted the impossible, and all the joy that will come when your miracle has been accomplished. I also hope that aide at home has been realized, from personal expierence with my mother, the Visiting Health Service of Long Island or New York, may be able to render some assistance to you for the days, if you are specific with the situation. I am sending you my prayers in the hope that you may get some needed rest and enjoy eachother at your home. It's hard for anyone to really know Scott, how hard this time must be for you guys, but know this, as difficult and ridiculous as my next statement may sound, everything happens on this planet for a reason. Us mortals simply don't know or can't comprehend at times what that reason is. My father always said to me, Joe everything happens for the best. What I didn't realize then, was that he was coining my a survivor. For if you are a survivor, you make sure that you continue and perservere. The three of you are survivors by every definition possible. Your three will guarantee that the miracle of the core transplant will be a success. I'm sure of it. Believe it and it will happen. Love always Joe

WELCOME HOME HANNAH, MOMMY & DADDY!!!!!!!!!
I've just read the NY Times article and once again, I'm amazed at your strong spirit and genuine love for each other. The article actually made me think of Christopher Reeve~Another courageous individual who did not ask for that role, but accepted it honorably. The Stimell Family has become crusaders for Hannah.
Welcome Home sweet girl, and Happy 1st Birthday.

Herzog again............Read through all the recent entries in the guestbook and am overwhelmed how friends, family and complete strangers string together words that have such a profound effect on your (my) emotions. I really don't know if I can add add further profundities, other than what you have done so far I associate with climbing Mt. Everest. I don't know if I could have endured all the pain and suffering Hannah was put through, (and you). Even considering that knowing who you are this was your only option. AS has been said by more eloquent people than myself, your love and compassion, your quite strength and tenacity, your ability to adapt to obviously painful situations are beyond reproach. To quote an old Vietnamese Monk,"If you are capable of living deeply one moment of your life, you can learn to live and love the same way all the other moments of your life." Both you and Jill are well on your way. Love Joe

AFTER READING THE NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE ON SUNDAY, I AM IN AWE OF YOUR SPIRIT, YOUR TENACITY, YOUR DEVOTION, YOUR LOVE, AND MOST OF ALL YOUR REFUSAL TO QUIT. IN HER OWN WAY HANNAH KNOWS THIS, AND THROUGH HER YOU ARE ALL TRULY MIRACLES AND TEACH US, ONE DAY AT A TIME MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

I just read your story in the New York Times, and I wanted to say good luck. My son also had alot of issues when he was little, being diagnosed with a number of physical issues at 2 monthes. While his problems were nothing as severe as Hannah's I know how it is to go through the unending doctors and physical therapy and insensitive comments that people can make. I know how hard it can be to look at your child be poked and prodded and all that doctors and medical professionals insist on, all the while you just see a perfect angel and can't understand how they can say that there is something wrong. I can also tell you that while I believe that Hannah will overcopme this. I think that kids are underestimated in what they can overcome, and with you guys and your positive attitude I really believe she'll be fine. At 11 monthes my son couldn't walk or crawl or do much of anything except look cute. Now at 17 monthes, in all that my son has progressed, he is walking and is all over the place, that my friends even kid me as I am chasing him around all the time, "aren't you glad you got him all that physical therapy!" Well, I am glad, and even though his doctors and every yahoo with an opinion keep making it all doom and gloom, I ignore all their negativity. I say we will work it out and get there when we get there! So, I just wanted to say keep positive, and kids will get there in their own time. Keep seeing Hannah for that light in her eyes, and not her medical charts!

Your story makes us all realize how strong prayer and compassion is - The compassion you have received (and shown) from all in Minnesota and from around the world, gives us faith, when faith is often questioned - Miracles do happen (as with the 1980 Hockey team!!!).

I am proud of you because you have been shared your experiences about how to handle Hannah for few months and are brave to educate us about that kind of a disease in an article in NY Sunday Times. It helps us a lot to understand how all of you had been managed well thru a difficult moment but we are still inspired, and admired about you anyway. Keep it up....

Dear Jill, Scott and Hannah,

How incredible to see beautiful Hannah (and Scott!) on the front page of the NY Times. Just imagine how many thousands of people will be praying for her recovery. Consider how many other people battling disease will be inspired by her brave struggle, and the love and strength of her parents and family. You have done an important thing by sharing her story with the world. I feel incredibly honored to have met Hannah in Minnesota and to have spent an afternoon with all of you. Welcome home!!

With love,

Hurray! Welcome home! I'm glad Minnesota was good to you (and I know the doctors at Fairview will miss seeing Hannah's bright smile!), but I know how wonderful it must be to be home among such a wonderful support system! The story in the Times today certainly inspired many families to attempt to be as brave and loving as you have been, and I'm sure caused many tears of hope and joy as well. Have a wondeful night at home snuggling together!

Dear Stimell family,

I just read the New York Times article detailing Hannah's battle with Niemann-Pick type A, and her treatment with a cord-blood transplant three months ago, and I just wanted to send a message to encourage and support you through this difficult time in your lives. You made a very difficult choice, exchanging a certain, tragic future for one that could potentially lead to more heartache and suffering, but held the only available hope for Hannah's live. I commend you for your courage and fortitude, and pray that the treatment will ultimately prove successful.

I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers,
Nathan G Sanzone-McDowell <nathangsm@mac.com>

Dear Scott and Jill,
I don’t know either of you personally. After reading the article in the NY Times, I went online and found this website. It is inspiring but saddening to read about the intense love (and pain) of both parents, and to hear about how family and friends are pitching in. Although I am not Jewish, situations like this remind us that we share humanity – regardless of religion or ethnic background or any other distinguishing characteristic, we are human beings with hearts and souls, and we cannot help but care about other human beings. My prayers are with you. May God make it easy for Hannah and the two of you. I wish you all the best.
Sincerely,
Safiyyah Ally

Herzog again..............So glad the three of you are back in New York. After a short conversation with Scott, (seeing him in his store the conversations can't be anything but short), I realized the fight continues. This continuing saga may even be more difficult as Ronald's family are not around. But the Stimell's have something that we as humans all need, friendship from people who love them and family. I am convinced that whatever their needs are, friends and family will be around to aid and help in any way possible. Scott: After my treatments are done and I feel a little more normal, (although my friends tell me I have no idea what normalcy is) I volenteer myself in anyway for you, Jill and Hannah. Try to keep your strength up and continue to continue. There is light at the end of the tunnel, even though someitmes you can't see the tunnel. As always Love Joe

Hi Guys
It's sounds like you are settling in and just when things could feel a little overwhelming you get an offer for "shoppers". See, Ronald McDonald house can come to Long Beach! The shopping idea is so very wonderful - and will make your life so much easier- one less thing to coordinate. Did you learn to make vanilla lattes yet? We will see you this weekend with a grande skim sugar free vanilla latte in hand!
And happy almost birthday to miss Hannah!!!!!

How wonderful that you three remarkable individuals are home.

I would like to put together a group of your Long Beach friends who will volunteer to take care of your daily shopping needs. I was thinking that if there was a daily schedule of people, once a day someone would call the house and either of you can give a shopping list. The person will go purchase the items and deliver them to your door without entering your home. I’ve passed this idea by a few people who have already volunteered to be on the list of shoppers.

If you feel that this would help you in the slightest way please let me know. I would be happy to coordinate the schedule and ensure that there is always someone available to do the shopping.

WElcome Back to Red Apple again since all of you were in Minnesota for 5 months. Now it is time for the Stimell family to settle down and enjoy more time with Hannah. It is time for you to be at your own pace from a medical place.
We are proud of Hannah who is a real fighter and does not give up and wants to move on with her own life since you and Scott are a good teamwork to give a lot of affection for Hannah as well as we are giving our support for you, too.
Jill - we still miss you and hope you will join us again when you are ready after settling down with Hannah at home.

The three of you have displayed such courage, a quote comes to mind. "Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes courage is the quest voice at the end of the day saying,I will try again tomorrow." You have exemplified this quite strength on a daliy basis and the three of you should be so very proud of eachother. Love Joe

Dear Scott and Jill: I wish you a safe and easy journey home with your precious daughter. All three of you, as well as your family and friends, have truly proven that the human spirit can accomplish amazing things. I know that this has been an uphill battle and at times you may have felt as if you could not continue, but through your incredible love and devotion to your daughter and each other you have reached a milestone in this journey.

I must thank you for allowing me to be a part of this experience. As always you are in my thoughts and prays.

So glad to hear your news about coming home back to Long Beach! I'm sure you are all very happy and at the same time a tiny bit scared, but knowing you have such a wonderful support system around you 24/7 makes it a bit easier, I'm sure.
Due to your experience at the Ronald McDonald House, my family has chosen to make a generous donation to the House in Minnesota in all of our families names for this holiday season. What a top-notch facility this has been and continues to be for so many families and so many lives that they touch! Good luck, good health and happiness always!

WHAT WONDERFUL NEWS, AND HOW HAPPY WE ARE TO KNOW ALL OF YOU WILL BE HOME IN YOUR OWN APARTMENT SURROUNDED BY FRIENDS AND FAMILY, HOWEVER LIMITING THEIR VISITS MIGHT BE. GRANDPARENTS CAN MAKE THE TRIP MORE EASILY AND WE KNOW JILL, SCOTT, AND HANNAH HAVE A SUPPORT SYSTEM LIKE NO OTHER.
THE PEOPLE AT RONALD MC DONALD HOUSE TRULY SEEM AMAZING AND IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL TO KNOW THE ADDRESS OF THEIR CHARITY TO SEND A DONATION IN HANNAH'S HONOR. ONE NEVER KNOWS WHEN AND WHERE OR IF WE WILL KNOW THE NEXT CHILD WHO WILL NEED THOSE SERVICES, AND MAYBE WE CAN HELP IN SOME SMALL WAY TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTABLE FOR HIM OR HER.
I DO HOPE THE UPDATES CONTINUE, HANNAH HAS BECOME A PART OF OUR LIVES WITH HOPE, PRAYER, ENERGY AND THE TRUE KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT A LITTLE FIGHTER SHE IS AND MIRACLES DO HAPPEN.

Long Island, ny - Monday, December 13, 2004 6:37 PM CST

To all Journal readers and the Hannah Stimell fan club
We are all very excited that Hannah is coming home. That said, I have been asked to give appropriate guidelines for a safe and healthy home return. Unfortunately, Hannah is still very prone to serious infection. Unlike most of us, Hannah lacks the ability to fight off even minor infections. Therefore, if she gets even a slight fever she ends up back in the hospital and she runs the risk of becoming very ill from something that may seem minor to you and me. A cold for us could mean pneumonia for Hannah. SO, although we all want to run to Long Beach, children in hand, and give Hannah kisses and hugs, this still cannot happen. Children should basically be off limits. All visitors need to wash hands upon entering the apartment and wear masks when in the apartment. No one should touch Hannah other than her immediate caretakers and visits should be kept to a minimum. Of course, if you have even the slightest cold or cough, the visit needs to be postponed. Please understand that these procedures are very important in order to help guarantee Hannah's well being. As always, we thank everyone who checks into this website on a daily basis for all their love and support and for everything else from knishes to cleaning services to plane tickets and toys that you have all provided with love the last 5 months. This site will be maintained while Hannah is back in New York and you can expect updates regularly. Happy Holidays to all!
Love,
Mindy

It sounds like your first Chanukah was pretty special, but then so are you! I am sure you will love being home for your FIRST BIRTHDAY. Everyone will celebrate!! Looking forward to seeing you, and Mommy and Daddy back in LB.
Much love,

What a wonderfully loving Chanukah experience you have had. You are so very lucky to have found such a wonderful place. And this is further credence to the miracle of Chanukah and to the fact that the Jewish people are a strong community and will take care of you wherever you may end up. We are looking forward to spending a belated Chanukah and more importantly first birthday with miss Hannah very soon.
With our love

Scott,Jill and Hannah...I meet scott through his store. My husband is a huge collector and Scott always does the right thing for us, so we would like to help him and his family in return. I recently spoke to scott about doing a fund raiser for Hannah. I have contacted a company called Pampered Chef. Most of you women will know they are a company that sells kitchen items and terrific recipies. We are waiting for a contact back. I will keep everyone updated.

babylon, ny usa - Sunday, December 12, 2004 9:23 AM CST

Herzog again.......Well, I guess from the previous entries and my rather short conversation with Scott a couple of days ago, your journey in Minn is comming to a close, and as always happens, when one door closes, another opens. I'm sure any misgivings you may or may not have will be a foregone conclusion, as you I'm sure will get all the help you need in New York from your friends and family. Writing to you almost on a daily basis has been somewhat of a catharsis for me, and I will miss these updates. The both of you should be so very proud of eachother, that you have seemed to accomplish a miracle, I know you have accomplished a miracle, and that now your lives can begin to resemble some normalcy. Take care and God bless the Stimell household and all those that have given of themselves in their time of need. Love Joe

Dear Jill, Scott and Hannah
Jill, you have always said, " one day at a time". Well, we are now counting the days. Hopefully you will be home in New York very soon. Thankfully, however, Ronald McDonald House and Minneapolis has been a surprisingly comforting home away from home. The supportive environment with the tremendously giving volunteers and staff, the gifted medical staff, the vanilla lattes and the baskets of candy always available has made your stay much more comfortable than we all ever thought possible. Leaving the nest will be scary, but the supportive family and friends you have will of course make up for all of that. Let it be known to all journal readers that Jill has become addicted to vanilla skim lattes and that neither Scott nor Jill has turned on an oven in 5 months. Although, thanks to Steven Baum I hear they have a wonderful oven that will be used in the future. They haven't eaten NY quality sushi, a craving they still have since my first trip there in July and I can't wait to bring them a big platter. SO, have a safe flight and we will see you back in your new home very soon.
All our love
Mindy Dan Haley and Brian

Thanks to Annette and Chuck for connecting us and for their involvement with RMH and for being so special. They are amazing. You two are also amazing and we really enjoyed getting to start to know you. I have looked at this website for Hannah and continue to be touched and inspired by you both and by Hannah. We will continue to pray for all of you. We look forward to continuing to get to know you. You are special people and Raleigh and I are here for you in Minnesota or wherever for anything you need.

It was good talking to you Scott, but I hope that your return to New York will allow both you and Jill to get some rest. The lethargy and extreme hours that you put in is clearly evident in your voice. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank you for your offer to help out here, but I do believe both our plates are full right now I would never consider to impose any additional responsiblity upon you.

Scott and Jill and the Gorgeous Hannah--Ever since Scott told me about Hannah, and helped my little niece, Daisy, who has Rett Syndrome (he helped us via our silent auction) I have been committed to you and your family and your cause. Keep the faith. Love one another always--that is how you don't let illness win. No matter what, remember Hannah, her love, and the love you both share that made her beautiful spirit live. That will get you all through. That is your greatest gift to Hannah. Surely, her greatest gift to the world has got to be that killer smile of hers. And those eyes. Hang in there. Count on me as I counted on Scott to help IRSA (www.rettsyndrome.org) and my Texas Hold 'Em event. You are special people.

It affects so much of our being. The wheather is overcast in New York, slighty dismal. Being so many miles away, it's hard to give you any support other than daily checkins, but I really hope these sign ins from myself and all who sign in, whether is be daily or otherwise, raise you spirits and give you added strength. So many people care about you and Hannah, stay the course and continue to believe. All my love Joe

YOU AND SCOTT ARE TRULY BEING TESTED, AND CONTINUE TO RISE TO THE OCCASION. WE WISH THINGS WERE EASIER, BUT EVERY DAY CHALLENGES,SHOW THAT HANNAH WILL BEAT THIS THING.
PLEASE KNOW WE CONTINUE TO KEEP ALL OF YOU IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. LOVE THE GOLDSTEINS

Herzog again............Just read your sign in for the last week Jill and am sorry it was so difficult. AS I read through the checkin, it occurred to me that this past week could have been interpeted as a microcosm of your ordeal in Minn since August. Even having only met you once through my relationship with Scott, and seeing you help out in the store, you struck me as a strong, directed, devoted and loving wife, it's not surprising that that's the kind of Mother you are. The both of you have become the epitome of effectiveness and love. Listening to everyone who has visited you in Minn. about how you care for Hannah, it will not be a surprise, but an expected event that Hannah will completelty recover. Nothing else will be acceptable. I hope the rest of the week will give you some needed relaxation, and that Hannah will begin to feel better. There truly is no greater hurt than to see your children in pain, but there is truly no greater happiness than to see your children happy. I hope the upcomming week brings some happiness to Hannah. Love Joe

Herzog again.........Today was spent driving to and from Brooklyn, visiting relatives and dealing with traffic in Queens and Brooklyn. It seems that whenever I deal with either my family or my wifes family, we must endure some discomfort, but the payoff is immeasurable. I'm sad that I was not able to stop by the store to see Scott, and when he called, I was on a long distance conference call with new clientele. I am very anxious to hear about Hannah and the progress she has made over the past week and 1/2. I hope that she continues to do well without any fever or anything that would indicate another hospital stay or prolong your trip back to your home. All three of you have been through so much, you deserve to be rewarded. I, on a conscious level, know that deserve has nothing to do with anything, but so many of your friends and family are praying for you that I'm sure our voices will be heard and that Hannah will achieve everything you have set her up to accomplish. I hope the upcoming week continues with as much progress that the previous weeks have done and that you can have a restful and peaceful Sunday night. If Scott is back with you and Hannah, snuggle together and have a happy evening. Love Joe

dear stimells:
our prayers continue as does the positive energy we send you and those you love. i for the first time take a moment to wish HERZOG the same prayers and energy for a full recovery, he too is in our prayers. life works in strange ways and i do believe those of us who sign in almost every day keep those with problems in our prayers and begin to feel a connection to those we have never even met.
hope the long rode from minnesota to home is getting shorter and we will soon here that hannah and her parents are homeward bound.

Herzog again.................AS I have said some weeks ago, this site was not mean't by me in any way, shape or form to minimize or compete with the reason why this website was set up, nor to detract from it's importance. After reading the last entry on this site, I read further down and am a little surprised as to how some people are interpeting my daily entries. There should be no advertisments or knocks on any institutions that do the kind of work that these institutions were set up to do. If any person interpeted my exasperation with my treatment at the onset, as a putdown of that institution, get a harder exterior shell to protect yourself and your emotions. In an effort to keep this site pure for Hannah and her family, anyone interested for any kind of update in my recovery, you can reach me at my corporate email at the end of this guestbook entry. Scott and Jill, I apologize for any obvious misunderstandings my updates caused, I thought I was only letting some of your friends know what was happening based upon their expressed desires about my health. I do hope that Hannah continues to recover, and that you Scott, have been able to catch up on some sleep, which in New York, I believe you had very little. And Jill, You're support is now by your side, enjoy him, He spoke of nothing but praise for you when I say him. Love Joe

To all who read this journal
I want to make a plug to keep the politics of medicine out of this website- it is not an appropriate venue for airing ones personal experiences with the medical community. There are good days and bad days at any hospital and I am sure that Jill and Scott, together with their doctors, will choose the most appropriate place for Hannah to have follow up care. For now Hannah is in a nurturing medically savvy environment and the Stimell family is fortunate for having found the special medical staff they have found. Such staff do exist is New York. Please keep Hannah's journal a friendly place to visit.

Scarsdale, NY - Thursday, December 2, 2004 7:27 PM CST

Herzog again...............Good news on the Sloan front. Now that I have been officially transfered to the Commack branch after biopsy analysis, all is going smoothly and fast. Starting chemo therapy on Monday, (and all that goes with it) for 2 months, then daily radiation for six weeks and hopefully I will be cured. Life sometimes is so strange, bizarre and funny, you have to laugh, or it can bury you. The three of you have been an inspiration for me to follow. Even if it wasn't so, doesn't it sound nice. Truely, you have provided for me strength, and a positive outlook or viewpoint on how to deal and face something that at the onset seems insurmountable. Nothing that happens in our lives happens without a reason and I believe that what has happened to Hannah was for a reason, even though presently we have no idea what that reason is. But it will become clear, and Hannah will understand in 5o years from now (and in the near future) what her loving parents did for her, the sacrifices they endured, and the support they had for them and her. Hannah is a very very lucky young girl that she picked you as parents. Even though you are being rewarded on a daily basis by her smiles, your efforts will be further rewarded in the years to come. Hope all is well with her fever and her overall disposition, and will again check in tomorrow. Love Joe

I am so glad to hear that Hannah is out of the hospital.We had a great Thanksgiving in Rutland; 15 for dinner and no Chase children at the table. Sarah and Joanie were in Santa Fe, and David was in DC. The baby is due anytime now and we are all very excited. Jim's birthday is the 4th and it would be a memorable event if baby Chase-Parry came on that day. We are going out on the 15th of DEc.for 10 days. Perhaps you will be home by then.Let all your fans know whats up. Love, Betsy

My Dearest Jill, Scott and Hannah -
I am off to Israel today and will personally put a little note in the Kotel and have a direct conversation with the almighty. He will probably be so happy that I am at the Kotel praying that he might actually listen to me this time. I also wanted to say that Sloan Kettering was instrumental in my mother surviving cancer and my mother was treated with extreme respect, the follow up was fantastic - I sat with my mother every single chemotheraphy session for six months. The doctors/nutritionists/nurses called her several times a week at home to see how she was doing. My point is - wherever you three decide to do follow up for Hannah - will be the best place for you. I love you all and I am so happy that Scott is back with you in Minnesota.

Hey Stimell fam!

Since we are all hoping that you return to NY soon, I felt the need to write after Mr. Herzog's message from yesterday. I found it beyond disturbing. While I have no idea what sort of treatment he is scheduled for, please do not hesitate to come to Memorial when Hannah is back here. We do care about the patients who come and we do everything we can to help. It's not like your typical hospital- we have very sick patients and we do go the extra mile. That is very true of Pediatrics. I'm not going to turn this into a debate, but Mr. Herzog, I use to work at NY Presby. and that is a hospital that is not all it's cracked up to be. Bottom line, everyone who looks at this website are family, friends and loved ones of Jill, Scott & Hannah. They can not get better f/u care for Hannah in NYC (Columbia is probably the only other place) and they need to feel comfortable with their decisions concerning Hannah's medical care. I have complete faith in the doctors and staff at Memorial. I would not be taking my mother there if I had any doubts!

Herzog again...........I finally got the results from a biopsy that Sloan had prepared and will hopefully start treatments this week. I find it very interesting how you begin to look forward to something that is probably not going to feel good, but a start is a start. I apologize, but I have actually lost track of the day you are supposed to return to New York, it must be soon. What an amazing tale the two of you have unfolded in Minn., a tale of resiliancy, committment, strength of character, love and a loyalty which can only be found in fictional characters. The both of you I know don't think about this, but you should be so proud of eachother, for doing everything humanly poosible for Hannah, I'm sure the miracle that you and everyone has prayed for will come into fruition. Even though I have never met Hannah, I have grown to know her through your loving eyes, and she is truly an amazingly strong young child. I sometimes play a game with myself, looking at someone so young and guessing what they may in fact grow up to be. I have done that with my children, and am proud to say that I am batting 1000%, I have been wrong all the time. What do I know? I continue to hope all is progressing as planned as no upgdate has been done in over a week. Please know that I, along with all your faithful followers are following and praying for the three of you.

As I read the messages that people send to you, it is so amazing the love and support you have had. Each day I awaken and think of you. You have been challenged in so many ways and still your endurance, strength and committment are everlasting. I said a special prayer for you at Thanksgiving and will continue to do so each day. If Hannah could speak, I'm sure she would say how thankful she is for such wonderful parents, family and friends. I hope you had a nice holiday. Stay well and be strong!!

Hello Jill and Hannah,
Just to let you know that I've seen Scott a few times. Each time he has been carrying STUFF out of the apartment. He's had a few helping hands of course, but the brunt of it he has done himself. He's been hauling, schlepping, dragging, and even, yes... throwing stuff out. This morning I saw the result...your place looks three times larger. All kidding aside, he has really cleaned out and you will be happily surprised when you get home. Love to all of you, and a big kiss for Hannah.

Herzog again.............Hope all is still going well. Jill, there hasn't been a short update for the past week. Please just drop two sentences and tell us what's happening. I am truly amazed at the total ineptitude and lack of regard that Memorial Slaon has for it's patients. The only rationalization I have been able to come up with to maintain sanity, you have to put up with no communication or respect to get the treatment that this institution provides. I have at my disposal so many Md's and even the Head of the NY Preb. Hospital at my disposal to hasten things along, and I fear alienating my Staff at Sloan if I in fact did that. From the large checkins in the past that you have shared with us with respect to the doctors and staff at the hospital where Hannah was staying, this was not a problem. Thank God. I wish for the three of you continued success in this area as the stress it adds is immeasurable. Stay strong you three, you have so many people thinking about you. Scott, hope all is OK. Love Joe

COULDN'T GET ONLINE TODAY. LEARNED THIS MORNING THAT IRWIN HOCHBERG'S BELOVED RITA PASSED AWAY AFTER FIVE YEARS OF FIGHTING TO STAY ALIVE AND BE PART OF HER FAMILY FOR THOSE YEARS. HER FUNERAL WAS TODAY AND BITTERSWEET. WE KNOW OF COURSE IRWIN WAS AN AMAZING HUSBAND AND HIS SON'S EUOLIGISED THEIR MOTHER ELOQUENTLY.
TONIGHT WE PAID A CONDOLENCE CALL, AND SO WE MOVE FORWARD THINKING OF YOUR LITTLE GIRL WITH HER WHOLE LIFE IN FRONT OF HER AND KNOWING WHAT A LITTLE FIGHTER SHE IS.

I heard about Hannah through Annie at Beach Nails, but she was not quit sure what the situation was. She told me that you had moved out of state. I was about to call Joyce to find out what was happening to you , but my dad had passed away. While I was sitting shiva, my Mom's friend ,Linda Schussel told me about Hannah. I called Scott and he told me how to contact you. Jill, I am so sorry that you and your family have to go through this. You are an incredibily strong person and I know that you and Scott have a lot of faith. My prayers are with you. I am terrible at E mail , so if you wnat to talk ,just give me a call 431-3156.

I have been told I'm in the majority, but my belt size is my own. Scott, Jill and Hannah, I again wish you three many joyous thanksgivings in the future. As I was playing with my kids this past weekend, trying to divert my thoughts and enjoy my family, friends, and relatives, a thought crossed my mind. "Today I will laugh in the face of adversity, my wife, my employees, my relatives or friends, anyone or anything that tries to crush my playful inner child". Keeping this in mind, stay young at heart and enjoy life and eachother, God will reward you. You three have done so much and come so far, his benevolence will be apparant. Speak with you soon.

Hi Guys,

I loved hearing those words.It brought tears to my eyes and also made me proud to be part of this family.
I cannot wait to be together again.

Herzog again............Was away for the Holidays and the three days away seemed to have disappeared quickly. Drove down to the suburbs of Baltimore (eight hours) Wed. afternoon, had a short night sleep then picked my mother up at her residence and drove to have The Big DINNER at my sisters home. This year was more emotional than in prior years, and was very grateful for another year of family. My mother is pushing 90, and with failing health, well, we take a day at a time, the expression of today. Scott, I have left some messages for you and hope all is well. Jill, sorry that Thanksgiving was without your honey, but I'm sure he would not have wanted to be anywhere else but with you and Hannah. I hope Hannah has successfully been able to keep her temp down and was able to enjoy any bird you might have eaten with you. I truly am more aware these days of how important life is and wish upon you and your family nothing but happiness, serenity, good health and a long life filled with many grandchildren, for there is no greater joy than this. Speak with you soon Love Joe

Hi Scott and Jill
I have known Scott for almost 20 years as we met in Albany during orientation. I was saddened to hear the news today about Hannah when I came into the store. I can only say that I wish the both of you only luck, health and happiness. I have had some personal health issues in my family and the both of you need to remain strong. I have always found humor to work well when you are tired and stressed. Stay strong, my thoughts are with you guys. Everything will work out in the end and you will have a happy and healthy beautiful daughter home very soon.

Hi Jill, Hannah and Linda
We had a quiet thanksgiving at mom's with Scott and our family. We really missed you guys and know that next year we will have many more things to be thankful for, all being together. ONE DAY AT A TIME, to quote a very wise mother(getting wiser every day). Glad you broke out of the hospital and hope all is uneventful.

Met Scott yesterday at the store and purchased some baseball cards for my 13 yr. old son. We were very sad to learn of Hannah's disease. Hannah is beautiful and with God's help and our prayers - we hope she will continue to progress. Please know you now have a few more prayers going your way.

Hi Hannah Banana!!!! Thank you for lending us Ronald MacDonald so he could be in the Macy's Day Parade today!!!!! Now he's heading right back to you ... there was a rumor (although I'll admit it was unconfirmed), that SpongeBob Square Pants might come with him to Minnesota! Do you have any idea who he is??????? I only JUST found out (from someone with young children) who thought that I was very un-cool for not knowing! Imagine! Hhhhhmmmm! Well, young lady, let me tell you ... I am WAY cool - but I'll let you judge for yourself. Be forewarned tho ... I have been known to resort to bribery ... chocolate for breakfast (milk chococlate so that there's at least some semblance of breakfast), cookies for lunch (if they're peanut butter cookies then I believe that they are a good source of protein!!!) and dinner ... well ... how about waffles topped with ice cream and strawberries - it's important to eat a lot of fruit!!!!!! Think Mommy will let me babysit for more than 1/2 hour????????????
Happy Thanksgiving to a blessed little angel!!!! And to blessed bigger angels -Mommy and Daddy - who love you so very very much! Keep smiling pretty girl, because every smile from you gives them the strength they need to keep going! With much love and many prayers, Jodine

GOOD NEWS TO CLICK ON TO THIS MORNING. HANNAH IS BEGINNING TO SHOW THE SIGNS OF AN AVERAGE LITTLE ONE, SPIKING A FEVER, INFECTION ETC. AND THEN RECOVERING. WITH HANNAH IT IS SCARY BUT WE HOPE THIS IS A SIGN THAT YOUR LITTLE GIRL IS BEGINNING TO SHOW THAT ONE DAY ALL INDICATIONS OF THAT AWFUL DISEASE WILL BE JUST A MEMORY.
WE WILL AGAIN SAY AN EXTRA PRAYER FOR HANNAH AND ALL OF US WHO RETURN TO THIS SITE, LET US GIVE THANKS FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND SPREAD THAT ENERGY TO HANNAH AND HER FAMILY.

Herzog again.........I know how hard it is for you Jill at this time, but know that you are thought of often in prayers, and that nothing but good things will eventually come out of all this s--t. Although looking a bit tired and worn, Scott looked looked when I say him last Friday in the Store. His mind was still going 1000 mph, which I felt was a good sign. He didn't feel great as he thought his weight gain made him look not himself, but as we all know, Scott is as handsome as Jill is beautiful, and what's in a couple of pounds. Thank you Jill for the daily, short updates as that lets your faithful followers know what is happening. I feel so bad that this is happening at all, but that's its happening with Hannah without her daddy. Whisper is her ear that daddy is in New York, show her a picture, and tell her that daddy loves her and will see her soon. Whenever I had to go away on a business trip, my wife did that with our kids and hard to believe, but some solace was achieved, and to this day, we believe that it made them more grounded and secure, I really don't know how, but what do I know. Recently, if you were to put all my epiphanies together about life and its meaning, they wouldn't fill a thimble. I do know life is short, and every day we should be grateful for the day we have with our family. Tough concept to live one's life, but so true. Jill and Scott, Hannah will be fine, and so will the both of you. The three of you are such loving, strong, resiliant and steadfast people, that nothing but good will happen to you. I don't know how I know this, I just know it. Get some sleep Jill, let your family take care of things for a little while and you will feel better. Also, your husband spoke of you like you were a diety, what drug are you giving him, bottle it and send it to me, please. Love and kisses. Stay strong, you are being thought of often. Joe

We hope that her fever will be short lived and that she can return to Ronald's house with you soon. I saw Scott on Friday at the store and dropped another thousand. Without fail, I enter the black hole and money dissappears from my pocket. Please know that everyone in my house, along with all your friends are thinking about you, praying for you and Hannah, and wishing you good, happy and emotionally uplifting thoughts that I'm sure will make their way to Minn. and to your beds. Hannah will soon be feeling well and your planned trip home will continue to be on schedule. I too have been taking one day at a time, even though it feels that my shoes are made of cement, the key is I'm still walking.

Hi Guys
I just spoke to Jill and found out that Hannah has been readmitted to the hospital with fever and chills. This is a small hurdle and is to be expected in light of the fact that this is the season for your average infant to get a fever and cold. The difference in this case is that Hannah, being immunocompromised, is always at risk for a bacterial infection, and so blood cultures are taken and she is started on empiric antibiotics pending cultures. This should take 2-3 days if everything is negative. What is important is that she is in the very best hands and that someone else can draw up the 25 doses of medications a day that Jill usually is responsible for. Of course this all happens 2 days after Scott returns home for the first time and tries to concentrate on the store...the best laid plans...
Jill and Hannah, we miss you and hope you are not being too disturbed by all those bell and beeps that we know so very well in the hospital room. Have a vanilla latte for me.
Love, Mindy

Hello! Just wanted to send my regards and tell you all that I am thinking about you. My son is sitting with me and I just showed him Hannah's pictures. He said "she's so cute" and he wants to meet her when you return to NY. Take care and we hope to see you soon.

Hey Stimell Family-
I figured that someone from the Pincus crew had to write y'all. My mom finally had her broken arm fixed yesterday (they put in a few screws & tightened up all the loose ones) :) so she is shacked up in the hospital and I'm here in her place. Of course, her question for me was "is there an update on the website?" because she has been checking it religiously- I think even if everyone doesn't get a chance to write, they are definately looking for the updates... I am one of those culprits, as I prefer the 1st thing in the morning (i.e. 6:30ish visits). So anyway, we here that Scott is back in NY and taking care of business and that Lil' Miss Hannah is doing well.. And we are really looking forward to everyone coming back to NY. And, FYI, I heard that you'll probably be bringing her to Memorial Sloan-Kettering and in case you forgot, I work there... I don't have many connections in Peds (I'll make some in the next few weeks), but anything that you need that is in Radiology- I'm your gal!! And, I'll also be there just to say 'hi'... We are eagerly awaiting your return and I can't wait to see you back in NY and at MSK....
ALL OUR LOVE!!!

Herzog again..........I apologize for not checking in the last two days Scott, It's been pretty hectic. I hope all is going well. Since today is the 19th, you may not even be in Minn. I forgot the day you were leaving. I will call first but I will come into the store tomorrow to say hello. I am continuing to pray for the three of you and only hope that your dreams for a fast and complete recovery, in light of the situation, is realized. Life is so fragile, but we as humans are stronger than you think, we have a capacity endure all that we have to continue to continue. Hopefully we are intelligent enough to try to attempt to live together as opposed to anniliating one another. I truly hope this checkin finds the three of you as healthy and as strong as you can be, and that sleep will be a friend on a daily basis. Love Joe

Hi Hannah Banana!!!!!!! I talked to your Grandpa Howie last night & he told me that you are just a beautiful amazing little angel!!! I could hear in his voice how proud he is of you and how hard you're fighting & how much he loves you!!!!!! I could hear all that even though we were talking cell phone to cell phone & fading in & out & I could only hear every 3rd word! Imagine how over the top it would have been had I heard EVERY word & every cadence of his voice!!!!!!!
I only logged on to check my mail (quickly) & to say goodnight to you, but I ended up applying for a job! Hey ... you never know ...
I hear that plans are underway for you to come home soon!!!! I bet you'll be REALLY REALLY REALLY happy to see your own room again & all you own toys & stuffed friends!!!!! I've got some stuffed friends too!! Oh no - mine are stuffy friends - yuck! (NOT Grandpa Howie & Grnadma Kathi - that's Kathi with an "i", not Kathy with a "y" - they're really cool!!! You'll see!!!)
Speaking of which, I'd better say goodnight sweet angel because if Grandma Kathi see's what time I sent this she'll kill me!!! That's because I ALWAYS complain to her that I'm tired, so I promised to go to sleep early tonight!!! Well ... I meant to!!
I hope you're sleeping pretty angel, altho I know that it can be really hard to sleep with some of the meds you're on! One night I re-arranged the lightbulbs in my closet unti 4 am! You're a little young for that tho - you probably don't even know what a light bulb is!!!! Maybe you could just count your toes - if you do that for long enough, maybe you'll just be bored into sleep! However you get there, I wish you a sound, restful and peaceful sleep and I hope that tommorrow will be a day filled with sunshine & giggles & hugs! XXXXXXXXOOOOOOOO Jodine

Hi guys
All is well here - Haley tried out for her talent show today - she sang a song from choir. Scott, she has your fabulous voice. And she has a big piano competition coming up the second week in December, so she is very busy. Brian is loving studying Hebrew and had his school book fair today where he bought books on King Arthur. We were playing name the states game and Brian picked Minnesota. We all miss you so very much - come back to us soon!

Dear Scott:
One of the central pillars of Jewish thought has always been the Tikkum of society, the task of setting it right, based on cooperative effort and the harmonious functioning of its individual members. You have has always through your ups and downs, shown loyalty to friends and family (a special Tikkum of mind(thoughts) and body (with your actions)).
It has never been more evidenced by the outpouring of support for you and your family shown by those same friends and family you have touched. This in my opinion makes you one special human being that I am proud to call my friend.
I love you and pray for the well being of your family

Hi Scott and Jill:

I had to go on-line to read about your progress, because I was absent from the Ronald McDonald House last week due to a bad cold/cough. But I love the frequent Hannah updates and photos! I heard Scott was playing basketball at the JCC, and the report was that he was really GOOD! I hope you are back to full health again, Scott, and that you are getting a bit of rest, Jill... Anyway, I am thinking of you all, and still wishing to treat you to a yummy, up-to-New-York-standards sushi meal here in Minneapolis or offer anything else that you need! Just let me know when you feel up to it. Otherwise, I'll have to come to New York to see you - and you know I travel, so I mean it! Take care and I hope to see you around the Ronald McDonald House soon. Love, Orlee

Dearest Cousins,

Put away the bufando (scarf) and gantes (gloves) as Spring has hit New York. 60 degrees and SUNNY this whole week.

You may wonder why I am writing biingual these days. Soon to be baby boy Jose ? perhaps Indio Rubenstein will be raised spanish speaking first. His dad, Daniel,is taking Spanish lessons now. How do you say stuffed cabbage in spanish? Gefilte fish is Mousse de Mer in French.

We are all well, and busy as usual. Did I mention we went to 6 brisses in 3 1/2 weeks, two on one day? (different boys, of course). Your generation is a bunch of fertile turtles.

Anyone interested? Allen Ira has his second flute recital (him and all the 9 to 15 year old students of his flute teacher. December 12th, tux not necessary. I am mentally shopping for Thanksgiving. Lida's huge family (10 married borthers and sisters and all aunts, uncles, cousins-all get togher with about 3 or 4 turkeys. But Columbians don't do stuffing. Perhaps I can just make 3 varities of stuffing and a couple of pies and my family will be satisfied.

I just returned from an ethics conference meeting in Nashville, and splurged to go to GOO. (Grand Ole Oprey, and the Music Museum). I didn't now how much country music is with us over the years. I got to see Mr. Presly's gold cadillac and his 24 KT covred grand piano, plus a lot of nostalgia. Don't throw out your old vinyl records and record jackets!!!

Enough of the corn. 11/15 recent entry was grand. Sorry Scott has a cold but that is a few days experience, and then back to full speed ahead.

Waiting to hear more.

Love and kisses and hugs to all.

Herzog again..........Just read your latest update and am glad everything is still progressing well. I too would love to see some pics of this precious child that continues to mesmerize all who come into contact with her. Spent the day Memorial Sloan and starting protocal next tues if all goes according to plan. Even though this is happening, it's hard for me too imagine that's its happening to me. I'm sure Scott, it was something along the lines of the way you felt, like your living a nightmare. Well, the good news is that it's for a finite amount of time, and I hopefully will be 100%, as you, Jill and the great Hannah will be. With prayers, love and the support of friends and family, we can conquer any obstacle put in our paths. From the bottom of my heart, I believe that you and Jill have accomplished the impossible, and Hannah will be giggling her way through life and give you two many grandcildren. Isn't that the circle of life. Keep up the grueling routine with all the love, compassion and understanding you both have shown thus far, and the stars will be at your fingertips. Love Joe

DEAR JILL, SCOTT AND HANNAH:
SOUNDS LIKE HANNAH IS MOVING FORWARD WITH HER PROGRESS AND SOUNDS LIKE MOM AND DAD ARE READY TO RECEIVE THEIR MEDICAL DEGREE. SORRY SCOTT YOU ARE NOT WELL, NOT SURPRISING WITH LACK OF SLEEP AND STRESS ETC. JILL WE HOPE YOU STAY HEALTHY.
WE HAD THE BOND DINNER SUNDAY EVENING IN NEW YORK FOR WHAT IS NOW CALLED THE REMEMBERANCE DINNER. IT WAS AT THE SHERATON TOWERS AND WAS SOMEWHAT SEEDY AT THAT HOTEL. THE DINNER WAS ATTENDED BY 340 PEOPLE BUT LACKED THE POMP, CIRCUMSTANCE AND LUSTRE OF THE OLD DAYS WHEN ELI WIESEL GOT UP TO SPEAK. AS WE ALL KNOW, NOTHING STAYS THE SAME. MISSED AS ALWAYS JILL'S SMILING FACE BUT I AM SURE THE LOVE AND SUPPORT FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS AND HANNAH'S PROGRESS MUST BE GETTING SMILES FROM JILL AND EVEN DADDY WHO IS NOT FEELING WELL.
WE STILL SEND OUR PRAYERS, POSITIVE ENERGY AND KNOW THAT IN EVERY DAY, AND EVERY WAY, HANNAH IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER. LOVE THE GOLDSTEINS

The babies all bundled up so much they were sweating, and we're all in light jackets shivering. :) We're eagerly awaiting your return to NY and we can't wait until you are all settled in and we can get back in touch.

Hi guys
Just got a message from Grandma Fredda with Hannah's voice on my machine - music to my ears! I hear Hannah is doing better and better. Some picture updates would be great. For those who do not know, patients who receive transplants go through a lot of physical changes. Not only do they lose their hair, but they grow hair in other places and the steroids give them a cushingoid appearance. They definitely look like they have been through some rigorous medication. So, Hannah will look different from her original pic, but she will slowly lose the hair and become more herself over the next year. She is of course our beautiful banana with the deep smiling brown eyes.
And we miss her - kisses and hugs!

Dear Scott and Family,
After speaking with you a few months ago, I kept the caringbridge website but unfortunatly it took this long to sign on to contact you. My prays and thoughts go out to you, Hannah and your entire family. Keep strong and I look forward to seeing you back in NY one day. Please send my wishes to Fredda and let her know that I am thinking of her at this time. As a side note-I read in your Journal today about our 2 football teams losses yesterday- Unfortunatly I have been a Jet fan my entire life. Besides the fact that we are cursed(every year), what makes matters worse is that we turn our children into Jet fans and they now live with being a fan of a cursed team. Passing along a legacy of being a jets fan.
Stay well and keep strong

Sorry for the long time away - Jack has been checking in for us but he doesn't know how to add an entry - one day at a time. I have been on the road pretty much since mid-September. Miss being home as I am very sure you all do too. Jack had his gall bladder out on Fri. and seems to be doing well - although we'll let him be crabby for a little while.

TO ALL THE FRIENDS AND FAMILY VISITING THIS WEBSITE,
I'm Hannah's Grandpa, Howie, and I've just returned home from a few days with Jill,Scott, and our precious Hannah.
I haven't seen Hannah in a month or so, and just wanted to update everyone.
Our little angel has made tremendous progress!!! She can now sit up by herself and grabs for her toys. I am amazed at how far she's come. It's very hard work for Jill and Scott and I'm both in awe and so proud. It never stops,it's 24 hours and 7 days. But oh those eyes!!!!!!!!!!
We have a long ,hard road ahead so it still remains-one day at a time.
Thanks you 3 for a great weekend.
Much love,
xxxxGrandpa

Herzog again...........Other than Sat. morning (my son loved the one-half hour non-sticking snow), the weather her has been beautiful. Being repetitive, fall is such a nice time of year in New York. I'm hoping Hannah is still making her giggles, such beautiful music. Truly amazing how a child's giggle is contagious. It's hard to keep a frown on your face when you hear your children laugh. I have been playing old tapes of vacation's recently to see and hear that laughter. I hope all continues to go well in Minn. Please continue to believe; the three of you thus far have shown so much grit and strength, books will be written about this saga you have journeyed, like Lewis & Clark in the Northwest, your trail was in the undiscovered area of Medicine. You have so many friends and family pulling for you and Hannah, miracles can be brought upon by sheer fortitude and prayers. Keep on keeping on guys, so many followers are continuing to pray and believe. Love Joe

Hi Hannah!!!!!! Guess what ... it snowed here today for the first time!!!!!!! NOT as impressive as all of your firsts, but still, it made me & Lacy smile!!!! Who's Lacy???? She's my dog, a german shepherd ... and yes, don't believe anyone (usually a grownup of course) who tells you that dogs can't smile ... because they can!!!! If you believe they can, they can!!!! And Lacy can't wait to meet you!!! In fact, just this morning she asked me when you could come over to play ... you don't beleive me? Well, she did!!! Ask her sister Shirley - Shirley's a chihuaha - yes ... a german shepherd can have a sister who's a chihuahua ... if you believe!!!! Anything can happen ... if you believe!!!!! And a lot of people believe in you!!!!!!! Remember ... I do believe, I do believe, I do believe!!!!!!!!!! You may be too young to remember that story - hmmmmmm - have someone (Grandpa Howie???) tell you about Tinkerbell!!!!! I do believe, I do believe, I do believe!!!!! Since Grandpa Howie's a boy, he may not remember to well about Tinkerbell - he may have focused more on Captain Hook, but Grandma Kathi will remember, and when you get home, after she's finished covering you up & down & back & forth with kissess & maybe some raspberries too, ask her & she'll tell you ALL about Tinkerbell!!!!!

JUST RETURNED FROM TWO WEEKS IN ISRAEL AND LOVED THE LATEST ENTRY IN YOUR JOURNAL.
WHEN I WENT TO THE WALL, I PUT IN A NOTE FOR HANNAH AND HER PARENTS AND FELT THAT THIS WAS REALLY AN EXTRA PRAYER FOR HANNAH FOR A COMPLETE RECOVERY IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE.
I MISSED SIGNING IN EVERY DAY WHILE IN ISRAEL AND WAS SO HAPPY TO SEE THE NEWS WAS UPBEAT AND HANNAH CONTINUES TO MAKE PROGRESS IN A POSITIVE AND WONDERFUL WAY.
I HOPE THAT ALL THE PRAYERS, AND POSITIVE ENERGY FROM FAMILY, FRIENDS, AND EVEN STRANGERS, HAVE HELPED HANNAH ON THE PATH TO A COMPLETE RECOVERY.

Good morning guys! It's been a while--we were away for 2 weeks. But one of the first things I did when we got back was to bring up your site and check on Hannah's progress. I was thrilled to see your last entry Scott! Hannah sounds like she's progressing like a normal baby....though we all know Hannah is an EXCEPTIONAL BABY!!!!!!!! Your story is truly inspirational.... Your strength and tenacity continue to impress everyone. We'll keep our fingers crossed that you will be home very soon. And we can't wait to see you and finally meet sweet Hannah...this little girl who has brought so many together...You're in our thoughts and prayers. Hope you got a little sleep last night...

Herzog again........Thank you Scott for the email. I will definately make it a point to drop by the store on November 20th to see you. A break in the routine will probably do you good, but I give you advance warning, you're going to miss Hannah, and Jill alot. Today the weather is frigid and rainy. MY son pleaded with me when I was driving him to school that he wanted to stay home in bed. I couldn't tell him "me too". I hope Hannah is still gigling. The guestbook entry that described grandpa Howie first day really told us how Hannah is doing and I'm so happy for the both of you. I pray that the progress worked for and earned to date will continue for the duration of your stay at Ronalds house and when you return. Will check in tomorrow. Love Joe

I just read Scott's update from Nov. 9th and that is such terrific news that you may be coming home in mid December. It is also ironic that you mentioned about a new sitcom involving a stem-cell research surgery! The Ocean Club will certainly welcome you all back with open arms. You and your families and friends have been a true inspiration to us all! We can't wait to see you!
Good luck and God Bless you All!

I'm thrilled that Hannah is making such incredible progress and that you're all beginning to look forward to coming home. I'm starting to plan Noa and Daniel's one year birthday party (November 28th) and I know that Hannah's big day comes soon after. What a celebration it will be! The three of you continue to inspire me with your strength and courage.

I just heard from Grandpa about all the progress that our little Hannah is making!!!He said that she's gotten bigger and can sit up, and he said she's even MORE beautiful,but I can't imagine being more beautiful!!!
I hope you have a good visit-Howie's always funny,whether intentional or not....
Much love,xxxxK

Hi Guys
So great to hear all the updates. I hear it's colder in NY than in MN - who'd have thought? It's kind of like our wedding on Feb 11th - 68 degrees and sunny! In other words the sun shines on the important Stimell events, literally and figuratively. All is well here. I finally got my kids hair cuts and have made plans to see what seems like long lost friends after being back and forth to the midwest so much the last few months. I know that with Hannah doing so well I can stay put in NY for awhile and await your return. I have a light schedule in December on purpose so I will be available to you guys in Long Beach- what a great thought! Hugs and kisses from Brian and Haley and of course me and Dan
Love

Glad to hear all the great progress that Hannah has been showing and I am counting down the days until you all return to LB. Scott it was great chatting with you on IM the other night. My thoughts and prayers are constantly with you, and yes that would be General Hospital that you were watching with the stem cells, Betty-Anne can vouch for this "Soapnet" is great.
All my love.

Herzog again.............Hope all continues to go well. Today was pretty cold, and it was good. My property is covered in leaves, and it is good. Your beautiful daughter has had a couple of months to remember, as you have had, and that was good. I truly believe that your miracle will become a reality, and that is good. The three of you have spent enough quality time together, time that other families don't get to spend with eachother even if you had their first ten years together, cumulatively, and that is good. On another note, am finished with an unbelievable amount of tests and cat scans and nothing came back positive except for the original mass. That is good. Next tuesday heading off th nyc to sloan kettering, I think that is good. Life is good. Keep on saying that, and love eachother. Talk again tomorrow. Love Joe

Dearest Cousins,

I am having a bit of trouble entering this, so if it starts to look famliar, forgive.

I wanted to say we are thrilled with yesterday's up-date, and Hannah's progress.

New York is beaufifully sunny today (like Hannah's smiles) and so who cares it there is a chill in the air.

Your note made me remember how I had to cut Daniel's hair when was asleep-on his side-in his crib. (he was terrified of having his hair cut). He looked might cool for a day, until the next night when I got to cut the other side. Perhaps that is why he never piereced or tatooed as far as I know.

Agian, back to Ms. Hannah, and all your and her good work. We love reading the progress and wait for the next news.

Love and hugs and kisses to all,

Carole Toby

The wandering Chases are home again after spending four days in Canada. It seems that we had points left on our time share and just had to use them before the end of the year. We drove around and saw Mt.Tremblant, Mt. Ste Saveur etc all ski areas. The food was sooo good; Jim had escargots for three nights in a row to start off with. I brought him back to earth last night with Campbells Tomato soup. Now I am substitue teaching for the day. I work enough to indulge myself or the kids. When we left home on Saturday it was fall but in the four days that passed so did the season and it is really winter now. We came home in a snow storm for part of the way; it was beautiful but am glad that we will not be in VT for the winter.

We are glad that Hannah continues to improve. Our prayers are with you always. Betsy

Herzog again................Its hard for me to communicate to you what a joy it was to read your latest entry filled with such great news (other than your sleeping). I'm sure all your faithful followers also appreciate the time you take Scott just to write down a few words on how you're doing, it really completes the connection. As I have said previously, there is nothing on this planet that I would rather do than listening to my children play, laugh and giggle. Only kids giggle, adults seem to have built too many walls around themselves that keeps all these sounds buried with their childhhood. Looking forward to your return. So much to talk about, but it will wait till your return. Love Joe

Herzog again.....The air is freezing, not crisp in New York, my office is located in an industrial park and the wind whips around the buildings. This morning walking to my office, just from the car, it felt like Wisconsin. Received some emails from Scott this morning, and for the first time in this long ordeal, Scott's sense of humor is coming back, he was demeaning, obnoxious, impatient, and unrealistic. Sounds just like me. HOpe the three of you had a restful and peaceful sleep and that Hannah continues to fight to fly home when planned. As the time comes closer, it seems that more and more people are pulling for you guys. So many people believe in the three of you. STay strong, it will happen before you know it. Believe. Love Joe

The two of you continue to amaze me! I can't imagine how you are functioning! I know when I don't get a good nights' sleep because the kids or cats wake me, I am not working at full capacity the next day.

Your perserverance and endless love for Hannah makes me so proud to be your friend. I think about you all so often, including Fredda, Mindy and her fam, and Nancy. I aslo continue to pray for all of you dailey.

Herzog again....Thank you Jill for the update. I'm sorry Hannah does not sleep well, for whatever the reasons are, because as was pointed out, not healthy, but also not healthy for you. Hopefully with the passage of time and the meds decrease, her sleep will increase. When you return, I would like to see this bundle of joy that captivates all who see her and that she spends any time with. There truly is nothing more powerful than that of a baby's smile or giggle when they're happy. I'm glad that the both of you are experiencing this more often than in the past few months. It keeps you strong. Overnight the wheather here seems to have dropped some degrees and the air outside is crisp. A beatiful time of year in New York. Keep on keeping on and will check in again tomorrow. Love Joe

Herzog again...........Scott, through me, you asked if I would ask your faithful writers of the guestbook to write more often as it makes you and Jill feel good, well, the converse of that is also true. Not since October 1st has an entry been made. Find the time, just 2 minutes is all it takes to tell us how things are. Another Sunday evening at home where my wife and I watch our children do their homework, as there is no more time to postpone the inevitable. I do hope that all is going well for you and that you haven't written due to extreme lethargy. But, your faithful followers are following your every move. Love joe

Dearest Cousins,

Here on Long Island, the leaves are coming down and the storm windows are going up. I only have 21 Rose of Sharons to cut back this fall-the cuttings should fill about 10 30 gallon cans.

Weeks, months move along. As a reminder, Chanukah is really early this year. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could be in your own nest in Long Beach to light the menorah. Beginning to sound like a possibility. As the history book tells us, enough oil to burn for 8 days was considered a miracle. All of us now know we can believe in modern day miracles as well.

Allen Ira is looking hungry again-I think his mother was a rigid with her new born and only fed him every 4 hours. This guy (I know he deeply loves me) gets fed on his demand. The pay-back is that he never fusses what it is that I prepare (microwave). Time for leftovers.

Waitng for an up-date. Closing with all our love and hugs and kisses.

Dear Scott, Jill, and lovely Hannah,
It has been a few months since my last entry, but you're still in all of our prayers in Massachusetts. I spoke to Ira with Charityworks out in California and he is praying for you as well. I don't know what else to say. I won't keep you long because after reading a few of the journal entries I am a bit emotional. Hannah looks so very beautiful, and again I can't tell you how eager I am to meet both her and your amazing wife Jill once you get back to New York. If there is anything we can do to help you out personally or with the business please please don't hesitate to ask.
God Bless and Keep the Faith,

Herzog again............Like Kathy W. I too went to sleep rather early. It seems that for the past week, I have been getting into bed exhausted. As soon as my head hits the pillow, I'm out. It's a beautifuly fall morning in New York, the leaves are falling and the air is cool. Someitmes I wish I lived in a part of the country that had this type of wheather all year round. I hope that the three of you had a restful night and that all are feeling well. I know it seems as though you have been living in Minn for years as opposed to months, but it really is only months. You are missed. I can't imagine what the three of you have been through, but I can sympathize, and I'm glad its almost over. You're saga will continue in New York, where all you're family, friends, neighbors, and accountant can and will help you. You are missed. Have a good Sunday. Love Joe

Herzog again........Another beautiful day in New York, fall always had such a calming effect on me even as a kid. I used to love to fall into the leaves and roll around in them, if I do that now, I may not get up. Thank you cousin Carol for the phone message, I emailed my response to you, thank you again. Have many tests lined up next week and the following week will be headed into NYC to Sloan Kettering. I would have never have believed this would ever happen to me. Lately, I am becoming more and more convinced that living in the now and at a day at a time really is the only way to live. Scott recently told me that he gets up in the morning, he is told what to do, and on and on for the rest of the day. There is a happy medium that one should strive for in balancing our lives on the thought of living for today, and producing for the future. I am sure that given the incentive, I will find it, Scott, you will find it, and I think we all can find it. We all have so much to live for, just look under your own roof for the reasons. I do hope that all is going well in Minn and that your scheduled departure date will not change. So many people miss you and want you to come home. I'm sure the both of you will be able to take care of Hannah and all her needs. And if you should need any help, you have a tremendous support group. Scott, my son recently started to play the Magic Card Game. Maybe you should stock these cards in your store, an unbelievable amount of kids are spending a small fortune for these booster packs, share in the wealth. Alot to talk about when you return. Have a great Sunday evening and will check in tomorrow night. LOve Joe

Hello Jill, Scott and Princess Hannah,

I'm glad to hear that Hannah is making steady progress. Hannah is such a lucky little girl to have wonderful parents, family and friends surrounding her at all times. You can't tell me that all of the love and positive energy that you and your amazing "support team" share doesn't help to make Hannah stronger through this journey. Did I read from a past entry that you might be coming back home sometime in December? What wonderful news if that is true!!!

I hope that the last couple of days have been good to Hannah and, of course, her parents. Just take it one day at a time and know that we continue to pray for and are always thinking of Hannah, Mom and Dad.

Love,

I am one of the many volunteers who serves meals at the Ronald McDonald House. I haven't been in for about a month but I was so touched by your story that I have been following Hannah's progress daily. You are all truly amazing and inspiring. I read about all of your New York friends and family who encourage you with kind words and thoughts. I would like to reiterate that here in Minnesota you also have many supporters and caregivers. If there is ANYTHING at all I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm thinking of Hannah often and wishing her many moments of comfort and happiness. All of my best. Julie

Herzog again...........Another plea..everyone reading this should write an entry to Scott and Jill. They look forward to reading this guestbook, and recently the entries seem to be diminishing. Hannah continues to be in my prayers, and I hope she continues to improve with each passing day. Started a battery of tests and cat scans to make sure no spread, and next week an appt. with the chief of the lymphoma dept of Sloan in the city. It really is hard to comprehend what is happening right now, .....and its happening to me, but I remain optimistic and with the encouragement of family and friends, I feel all will be ok. Thank you Scott for being there, it feels good. I am able to see that this book was a sheer stroke of genious, that allows all your family and friends on a daily basis to tell you how they feel and give your encouragement and strength. Continue your regimented life for the present, and Hannah will be your reward in Long Beach. Love Joe

Herzog again..........Hope everything continues as it is supposed to be continuing. Since some have expressed interest, including Scott, Pathology in, am immediately starting the steps to determine the correct protocal. Got the news late last night. Have been told, good chance for full, recovery 95% rate. It is hard to express in words haow important family is. Thank you all for the good wishes. It was really good speaking to Scott yesterday. At the end of the conversation, it felt as though he never left, I could not hang up, I never exprerienced such a run-on sentence before. Scott, don't take this wring, but even though you are a nut, I love you. Joe, Kiss Jill and Hannah for me.

Hi guys,
Scott,so good to hear your voice tonight.You three are so sorely missed.
Can't wait for winter and snuggling up with Hannah by the fireplace-that is, when you let us babysit.
For Joe Herzog: I feel as if I know you-I'm sure lots of people on here share that feeling. Please let us know how you are...
Peace to all G-d's creatures,

So wonderful to hear you'll be back home soon. Can't wait to see Hannah. She's only a couple of months older than Luke (my Grandson). I see him about every one to two months as they live in Virginia. With Hannah coming home I can play Gram anytime you need me!!!!

Hi Jill, Scott and Hannah!
I check in everyday to see if there's a new journal entry and to read what others have written and many times receive an update through those entries......from what I've gathered I understand that you will be coming home to New York in December?!? That's wonderful news!! Hannah has come SO far (thanks to your devotion and her will) and I'm so glad that she is doing SO well!

The beautiful leaves are blowing off the trees and dancing all around today.......supposed to get chilly next week....it's been a beautiful Fall here this year, made even better by the good news from your end.....so much for all of us to be thankful for this Thanksgiving, especially all the little things in life we may have taken for granted but you have made your readers more aware of. Thank you.

Hannah, keep up the good work, Jill and Scott I know you will too. All the best to you and everyone at Ronald McDonald House.

Herzog again..............Had an opportunity to visit the store before going to a client this afternoon, and spoke with Scott about prices. It seems every time I walk into the store, someone takes $1,000 out of my pocket. I guess I shold not make a habit of visiting that establishment too often, or I won't be able to make my mortgage payment. Scott asked me to relate something to anyone reading this entry. It seems that not as many people are writing in the guestbook, as compared to the entries less than one month ago. Please know that Scott and Jill get their strength from, among other things, us and our updates and well wishes, even if we don't necessarily say anthing. Scott would love for everyone, if it's not too much trouble, to write in more often and tell him how wonderful he is, how wonderful Jill is, and what an amazingly resiliant, strong, beautiful and lovable daughter he has. Scott really does look forward to reading these entries, so if its not too much trouble.........Another beautiful day in New York, and to go out on a limb, unfortunately, Bush is in, Kerry is out. Well, just another 4 more years. STay well and stay strong, Scott, try not to think about not geting any sleep, as a matter of fact, try to stay awake, you will then obviously fall asleep. It never fails. Love Joe

Scott, Jill and Hannah:

I continue to be tremendously encouraged by the steady progress Hannah is making. May God continue to shine on you and we all look forward with anticipation to your return home. Got a chance to visit Brian at the store this weekend. He's doing a great job holding down the fort and even convinced me to take 3 2004 Topps sets instead of two. I know where he gets his sales savy from. Glad to hear you got to the Giants game last weekend. Good to route for a winner coming off the precedent setting 4 game loss to the BoSox. (couldn't resist) Had a bit of a scare with Ashley last week, where she needed emergency surgery. Thank God all is well and she's back at school. There is nothing like concern for the health of ones child. Thought of you often and the bar you have set with Hannah. You continue to inspire me.

All the best always,

Herzog again........The leaves are falling, the wheather is cool, and another fall day is about to rise in New York. Fall is such a beautiful time of Year in New York, I hope that the foliage in Minn has been as nice to look at. Each day an entry, each day is a day that brings you back home. Everyone is so glad that Hannah has responded as well as she has, the future looks so good even though the sayings of the day are "a day at a time". Today or tomorrow I get my report and remain optimistic. I miss going to the store Scott after a one-half day of work and getting lost there for what seems like hours. Even though I had the intention of staying for 15 minutes, Scott's store is like a black hole, you get lost in the paraphernalia he has aroung the store, and the conversations he has with customers in person and on the phone. A master at work, you are missed. Hope to see you, Jill and Hannah soon. Will check in tomorrow. Love Joe

Herzog again.............Was reading all the entries of the past couple of days from your faithful followers, so many happy and prayerful entries longing for you to return to Long Beach. You spent so much time in the store, buying inventory, and hosting auctions, when did you have time to make such an impact at the Ocean Club and at home. When one possesses such a magnetic personality as you Scott, I guess it does't take that long. I continue to pray for the three of you that your planned return will be on time with no postponments, and that Hannah continues to strive for an unbeleivable miracle and remain strong and directed. With you and Jill by her side, this is a foregone conclusion. I hope to see you soon. Will check in tomorrow. Love Joe

Dearest Cousins,

More and more good news from your wonderful correspondents.

News from the home front. A new little granddaughter for Cora and Frank Frohman, their son Lee and wife Leslie had Ruby Fennett, two weeks ago. Our Uncle Hymie was called Ruby by our Aunt Frieda. Poor Allen Ira is going mad keeping up with the family tree-remember he had it on the garage wall. Well, we're not out of space yet.

And for Sam the Intern, a big break. His boss Lang Whitaker, sportswriter for internet Slamonline.com is away for the week, and Sam has to step in and write the basketball column for this week. My kid is far from 6 feet in height, but he has a way with words.

For Mr. Herzog. I spent 48 hours last weekend in the Huntington Hosp for a staph infection on my face-all resolving very well. But I must comment on how competently and well treated I was. I hope you get a favorable report.

And of course, everyone here is cheering and thrilled at the good news and progress.

Love, Cousin Carole

Herzog again........Thank you for the update. So happy that Hannah continues to progress. When my children were growing up, watching them and seeing them learn what they can and coulnd't do with their bodies was indescribalble. My wife and I just sat for hours watching them move around, play, jump, watch tv and climb all over us. Enjoy the time with Hannah as much as you can under the circumstances. It is great to read everyone's journal entries to see how overjoyed all are that your entries are so positive. Keep up the good work. Everyone's vibes are with you. Love Joe

Great job by Rich on the guest update. I am sorry I wasn't there to see Charlie in the potatoe head costume - I am sure it was hysterical. Did Hannah dress up? I know she had the pumpkin PJs and I am sure she looked so very cute as a little pumpkin! Well, it's Nov 1 and day about plus 72 post transplant. Only 28 days left till she is allowed to break loose for the east. You guys should think about booking your tickets for the return flight. I know Northwest fills up fast. Thinking of you...always...love to banana girl

Scott, in preparation for your "return", I've now cleaned out EVERY closet in this house; when I come to help you, I won't feel like I have anything to do to my own. So... look out, I'm pretty tough and am now the queen of getting rid of "extra stuff". I'm ready when you are!
Wishing for a peaceful and snuggly night. Hope Hannah got to wear her Halloween outfit.

Herzog again.......Looking forward to Scott and Jill's next entry. AS the months have wained on, and certain situations have presented themselves in my life, I did not, nor was it my intention to detract the importance of this site from the Stimell's, their situation, and thier cherished daughter. I want to thank everyone for their concern and obvious caring exhibited by their responses to some of my entries. I truly thank each and everyone of you. I am really very much aware of the trappings and pitfalls, and am truly looking at my situation as confidently as one can and am optimistic as one can be with hte help of my family. Again, thank you all, it really is very touching. Scott, Brian's situation was accepted as filed. Never had any doubt. AGain, stay strong and directed, and with the help from a support group of family and friends that you have, I am confident there is nothing you cannot overcome. Love Joe

Spoke to mom and she said Hannah is doing wonderfully! It's so interesting to read the journals and see that this site is becoming a bit of a therapy session for those logging on on a regular basis. I hope when you get home and Hannah is off her immunosuppresant therapy you will have a get together so all of your loyal web readers can meet.

It's wonderful to hear the good news; I told Linda that the baby would be the miracle child and now we know that I was right. G-d chose her and listened to all of our prayers. And to Mr. Herzog, please listen to me. Even test results that aren't what you want are not a death sentence.I know from experience. Five years ago I went through the same thing. It was hard and there were lots of tears but I did what had to be done. Today I'm "clean" and glad to be around to enjoy life and watch my family grow. Please have faith !

Herzog again................Hope all continues to progress as well as it has been recently. The three of you, all your family and friends that have visited you, and all the people that have given you so much support over the past few months are untimately going to be rewarded soon by your return to Long Beach and a full recovery for Hannah. What was once thought to be a miracle, I'm sure is going to be a reality. A reality that whenever you are felling depressed later in life, you will be able to look back upon this time in your lives and draw strength from the memories of this time in your lives and how by your sheer willpower, hope and love, were able to conquer the impossible. The three of you are such special people that whoever is watching, and adding the merits and subtracting the demerits of life experiences, I'm sure will know what the three of you have done. Be proud of how you three have stuck together through very difficult times, and like some fictional character, adversity made you stronger and more resiliant. LOve Joe

Dear Scott, Jill, and Hannah, I left Fairview 4B on Hannah's day zero--my day 11. I'm in the clinic only about once a week lately. My transplant was for chronic leukemia, and I'm doing well! Fairview is a great medical center, and we are so fortunate it's "at home" for us.

We've been following your story and are glad Hannah's been able to stay out of the hospital so far. We know how precious she is to you. So glad you have so many friends to offer support. Grab every minute for sleep that you can!

Please consider us your local friends, so do call any time if we can listen or help. 651-451-3720. Our daughter Lynn left you a message in August; now she's back in NY at Columbia for her last year in college.

Keep up your courage! Our very best wishes, Jane Copes

Piano in the city tonight and family dinner afterward to celebrate Dan's bday. It's truly unbelievable to me that we are thinking and planning your return with Hannah neurologically improving. In Dr. Peter's words, the world is watching. Other children around the world will have a chance because of the three of you. You are braver than you realize.

hello my minnesota friends,

sorry i have not written much this week. however,i checked in on the progress in a spare min i had at the office this week. it is a cold damp morning here. a good one to stay in. i hope the weathe there is a bit more enjoyable for this haloween weekend. i am som glad to see hannah seemsd to improving everyday. it is so amazing to hear of where she is now from where you started. it probally seems like a life time to you. but it is leaps and bounds in a short time. imagine a year from now!! the full night sleep will come soon. hang in there. i wish i could do more from here.
i am so glad to see you made it thru a week alone. a little test for when you get home. waht is even more amazing is that it was the first week since you have startrd this journey that you had to be alone. a true testment of the people you are and all of those who love you. scott- i alays sid you were lucky to have jill/ but she is lucky to have you. you balance each other perfectly. i don't know many more couples who would be able to endure the stress together as you are, as a team without killing each other.
it is amazing how powerful love is.
on that note i am siging off until tomorrow. give hannah a big kiss for us. happy halloween.
sending all of love and prayers

Herzog again...........Another update from me, not to many entries yersterday from my last checkin. Just staying in touch, had the biopsy yesterday, now wait till Wenesday of next week, it truly is amazing what enters your mind. Benign, nothing, and if malignant, your head boardes a rocket ship and your life and your options as to what to do and how to react to the thousands of options you hopefully are lucky enough to have travel faster than the speed of light through your mind. You than look at your famiy and begin to wonder.........I am relating this to you as someone that is unfortunately feeling all this, and not that I didn't understand before, but I can symathize with you and Hannah on a different plane of understanding. So many family members, friends, and business associates, including acquaintences have passed on just over the last ten years, and you feel bad, but not like it is happening to you. AS a person grows older, this becomes part of your life, attending funerals, but better than the other option. Sorry for being such a morose and sorrowful individual this morning, but it truly is amazing what you write down, as opposed to saying something to someone face to face. Interesting. I hope over the past few months, all these events that have happened to the three of you, and all the trials and trubulations you have endured has given you hope and a new outlook on the rest of your lives. As I believe that all this will take, and Hannah will outlive us all. Will check in tomorrow, Love Joe

Herzog again...............Sorry for the missed day. Left the house at 5:00 A.M. yesterday and did not return till 11:30 PM, workded in Manhattan and it was not enjoyable. Thank God I don't have to do that commute anymore. Thank you B.Brown for the good wishes, having the procedure done at 12:30 today, can't tell you how nervous I feel as I think I have totally shut off all emotions as thinking about it is so overwhelimgly depressing, I can't cope. I hope Hannah continues to show improvement. I know Scott and Jill are probably getting used to Ronald's house, the surrondings, not having to do any work in the house, no household chores, life is good, but unfortunately, Hannah is getting better and around the corner, is Long Beach. WOW, isn't that just the greatest news right now you can possible get, aside from Hannah's blood doing what its supposed to be doing, which will happen directly. Life has a way of resembling a bicycle wheel, every always comes around. A somewhat overused profundity, but really is the truth. Ten years ago when you started this saga, (it must feel like that),who would have thought that you would be coming home with Hannah. When Brian told me what was happening, when I didn't hear from you in over 3 weeks, you didn't need anything, I was shellshocked with the news, and it felt that you were going away for a lifetime. All good things come to an end. I really am so happy for the three of you, what a rather bizarre ordeal you have been through in these past few months. If someone was not following you on a daily basis, it would be virtually impossible for anyone to try to describe the daily events of the past months. Rest assured, the three of you are in everyone's hearts and minds for a safe and speedy return to the good life of Long Beach, where you're friends and family can continue to support you if they're neede. Waking up the kids now for another day of life in the Herzog household. No moss will grow under my shoes. Love Joe

Hi Guys
Congrats on your week alone. Although tiring I am sure it was a great bonding experience and these are the moments you will cherish later, believe it or not. Other than the massive pile of laundry, which mom will graciously take care of on Saturday when she arrives, I am quite certain you took care of everything and did a most fabulous job at that. I know you welcome Rich there tomorrow and am sure he will be both a great distraction and a big help - what a great support system you guys have! Scott, I am working on those tickets for you and I need you to tell me about the 30th of Nov. I will sign off as I too am tired - an ER night behind me and Marina back in St. Lucia for 2 weeks so will do the double hand off juggling act that Dan and I have become so good at (with some help from mom - you're not the only ones who need her!)
HUGS and KISSES to banana girl!!!
All our love

Hey Guys
Congrats on your week alone. I am sure it was tiring and I am quite sure there will be a lot of laundry to be done when mom gets there on Saturday. Yes, some things never change! A big hello to Rich who is so very supportive and I am sure a welcome distraction. I am trying to book the nwa ticket for you Scott - you need to call me about the 30th. I am scouting out the best place for follow up which appears to be Sloan and oh, how convenient to have an apt on 72nd that is so recently updated and so very clean. It even comes with a loving grandma! Anyway, I just got home from call and am exhausted. Call me later.

Dear Scott and Jill,
Scotty, you are truly blessed to have all the women that you have surrounding you at this time. The courage, determination, strength, and resolve that each of you have shown is so inspirational for everyone to see. This is where your Hannah gets all this fight from. How can it be any other way. We follow every day and every night on your precious Hannah. Keep the same determination that you have already shown, and continue to draw strength from each other and all those who love you guys. We here in Fla continue to pray for Hannah and are thrilled to hear of her progress. Keep your theme of taking one day at a time. It's now time to go watch the Sox do what the Yankees couldn't achieve (sorry Scotty, had to get that in). Stay Strong!!

Dear Stimell's.

How come there are no reports of the World Series coming from you or your friends? Remember us - its been a long time since 1918. We are hoping that it will be over tonight, the suspense is aweful. We have friends coming over for dinner tonight who are Yankee fans.They probably won't stay after dinner.

It is hard to imagine what your days and nights are like.We know you are strong and loving people who have risen to the challenge. Stay well, Love, Betsy

Herzog again..............Was so glad when I entered the site and you had updated. Having Hannah continue to progress, despite the stomach cramps, the night feedings, all the meds, the night sweats and all aroung lethargy that I'm sure sets in sometimes, makes this ordeal worth it. Scott, it's no surprise that Jill is as organized and regimented as she is, for we as men, always pick the spouse to to optimize the partnership of marriage. She is everything you're not as far as being organized and structured. You do every in a sort of organized chaos manner, it always gets done, but the road is not always straight. Aren't we smart to be able to select our mates to overcome our shortcommings. I am currently battling with a possible biopsy for a mass in my neck, keep you're fingers crossed, and anything else you can cross without hurting yourself. Scott and Jill, words really cannot tell you how many people you have following your trip to Minn. and wish you and Hannah well for a full recovery and a fast return to your home. God bless the both of you. Love Joe

I learned of Hanna from the concern I heard in your brother Eric's voice one day. I read the entries in the guestbook and they are suffused with prayer. A fellow I know whose son faced a life-threatining illness, which he thank g-d overcame, explained that prayer has a cumulative effect. More prayer is more effective. I shall add my prayers, and urge everyone else to do likewise, on behalf of you wonderful daughter.

Herzog again..........Scott and Jill, I hope Hannah continues to do what she has to do, and that the both of you are doing what you have to do, in this rather prolonged saga. Every coin has two sides, and believe it or not, this experience has given the both of you very special time that most parents never get to experience with their newborn children. You have been able to sleep, and spend every waking minute with Hannah, time that if you were in New York, I'm sure would never have happened. From what I have been reading and hearing from you and others, is that your child is an amazingly resiliant, strong willed and lovable creature, that has adapted to what is happening to her very well. The both of you also have spent time with eachother that I'm sure you also would never have done in New York. The fact that the both of you are still on talking terms with eachother, speaks volumes. Such a close proximity with me and my wife over an extended length of time would not result in pretty outcome. Again, please check in so we can know what's cooking. God bless the both of you and Hannah too, he is watching and seeing all that has happened, and the miracle is around the corner. Believe it and it will happen. Love Joe

hi scott, jill & hannah ... just found out from scott what you all are going thru and my thoughts & prayers are with you ... when scott told me you were expecting a child, i was all too eager to give him sage advice and how your lives would never be the same ... basically meaning that being a parent is a wonderful & rewarding experience and you never know what's going to happen next ... we take health for granted and never think something would happen to us or our families ... can't tell you how i feel at the moment just learning of hannah's situation ... hope there's a positive about this somehow some way and you will all get through this ... best regards/richard (toon)

Herzog again...............As I sit here on a Monday morning, getting the kids ready for school, sending my wife off with her lunch box, and deciding whether to in late, or go in at all, I looked at some of the recent entries from some of your friends recently, and I felt I wanted to tell you both what great relationships you have with so many people, that take the time, almost on a daily basis, to write some thoughts, how they feel, and encouragement for you. Scott and Jill, you both are very special, loving, compromising, strong, and to coin someone recently, tenacious people, like you're daughter. It's no wonder that you have attracted the type of people you have. Very special. A business associate of mine passed away over the weekend, heart attack. Unfortunately, as I get older, my friends, family and business relationships seem to dwindle, but the alternative is not desriable. I love you guys, stay strong and directed, and you will be home before you know it, Joe Herzog

Herzog again..............Another Sunday, another week has passed, and another day closer for the three of you to come home. I hope all is well with Hannah's meds, feeding requirements, blood pressure and blood counts, and her overall disposition. I never met Hannah, but I remember how Scott's face lit up when he spoke of her, like nothing else mattered, and how he was totally mesmerized by her personality. It's hard to believe that we as humans can love and care for another human being as much as we do for our children. Prior to having kids, I didn't think it was possible for me to really love someone else, the way they talk about love in books and portray it in movies. But, post kids, I confess that I never thought it possible for me to have so much of an emotional tie with anyone else. Having children is an experience we as humans should all experience, not only on for us, but for the child as well. My point, Scott and Jill, be proud of Hannah, she is a survivor, a strong willed and lovable bundle of joy, and she is yours. The three of you will have so much happiness in the years to come that all this hopefully will be thought of as just an experience or test that you had to pass to be able to move on in the game of life. We are all put to the tests many times, but what actually separates us from everyone else, is how we deal and react to those tests. I continue to pray for the three of you and hopefully will see you soon. Love Joe

Herzog again.........Scott and Jill, just read your update with reference to the little girl who recently passed away. Words really can't express how one feels when reading this type of news, except that I'm so sorry for the girl, her parents and yourselves. Being so close it can't help but to have an effect upon the both of you. It drives home how precious life is and that we all should cherish every single moment we have with eachother. Again, my condolances. For me, when I get exhausted, which recently has been more often than not, I usually get depressed and invariably my children come up to me and say, "daddy, are you feeling ok?", in a low voices. That more than anything, reminds me to get my sh__ together, as my problems are not my children's, nor should they be. Their little world is tough enough without having to help support me. My point, even though you're tired, Hannah will pick up on any negative or depressed feelings, even though she is at such a young age. Kids are like sponges, absorbing everything around them, even though they can't express what they feel or see. Try to get as much rest and/or sleep as possible so as to remain the vibrant, charming, personable, irrisistable and loving couple she is used to. Her recovery will be that much quicker and easier. I can't believe this post season is without the Yankees. Drat!!!!!!!!!!Will check in tomorrow. Joe

Scott, it was so good to hear your voice at my friend Stu's .He loved speaking with you.
My heart is with you and Hannah,and the parents of all the babies there. Life is so strange and scary. As usual,listen to Mindy & Dan. They have a great perspective and deep understanding.

Dear Scott and Jill,
I was saddened to hear about the death of Abby. I remember her smile and the grace with which her parents dealt with their difficult medical plight. I remember the way they mentored you both throughout Hannah's stay on 4A. They were so calm and so positive. Abby was lucky to have their positive energy throughout her short life. I hope they know how much their being there has affected others. I know that they enjoyed the moments with her - I remember her driving around in the little car on 4A, beeping as she went down the hall with that little blue mask-her parents so proud.
This week has been a difficult one all around - and to quote my son, we've all been beat up. It's hard to make sense of it all but I think that we need to really enjoy the moment because this is, I believe, what life is all about - the moment.
Love you

Herzog again.............PLayed golf yesterday, first time in about 2 months, been too busy. My priorities are not where they're supposed to be. Shoulf play more often. Got home and went to bed at 6:oo pm. Something is wrong with me and it is becoming disconcerting to both me and my family. Well enough about me. I say this because something comes to mind. Scott, without rest, and relaxation, I know how you must feel. But, you will get back into shape again, your body will react after exersize, and the vibrant, funny, talkative, somewhat irritating Soctti will return that we all love. It really feels that you have been away for years. Time is a funny thing. Sometimes it moves along at a snails pace, and sometimes faster than light. In relection, sometimes, I feel my life resembles the light, rather than the snail, as I guess we all do. I only want to be around so I can help my children grow up happy, secure and loved. As you and Jill will do with Hannah, for the three of you will be spending years and years together. Think it, believe it, and breathe it, and it will come. Love you guys, Joe

I'm sorry to hear about that little girl. As you know, Mindy and I knew two of the doctors who died in that plane crash in Missouri. One was Mindy's boss who spent a lot of time and effort worrying. The other was a pediatrician from Buffalo who is being remembered for having great balence. People are sharing stories of how they played hookey with him at various meetings over the years. I'm taking two messages from this experience. First is to find the balence. I know how tiring everything is, with no end in sight, but this is so much better than the alternative and there really are moments to enjoy. The second lesson is to enjoy and celebrate what you have now, and not put it off. Hannah smiles and plays, so while we all hope for more, thats still special right now.
Once again, deep thoughts when I'm up late.

Dearest Cousins,

Hoo rah for Herzog once more. To paraphrase, you lose some, but win some. And you are winning the Hannah recovery.

I wrote alraady, but it got lost, so just in case, I am repeating.

we are all fine. Allen Ira finally connected up our new ministereo (just had to plug in two cables) that's his job. Lida looks beautiful and feeling well. Sam the Intern is enjoyng his column, and I am recovering from FIVE brisses and one baby naming in 3 weeks. Have you ever met a mohelet? Only in Scarsdale. Caught up with Grandma Fredda and she is off for her flu shot. Who does she know in New York??

Again, we are thrilled and grateful for Hannah's every step forward.

OKAY, OR NOT OKAY THE YANKEES LOST. THE NEXT BIG WAIT FOR THE NEXT BIG OUTCOME IS NOT WHETHER BOSTON WINS OR NOT,BUT WHETHER BUSH WINS OVER KERRY OR VISA VERSA. INTERSTING TIMES WE LIVE IN BUT NOTHING COMPARED TO THE CHALLENGES THAT YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN THROUGH AND CONTINUE TO GO THROUGH.
THE LEAVES ARE STARTING TO TURN MORE A RUST COLOR WHICH IS THE TRUE SIGN OF FALL. IT IS NIPPY OUT AND WE HAVE NOT SEEN MUCH SUN. AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, I LOVE FALL, THE ONE NEGATIVE IS, IT IS FOLLOWED BY WINTER. OH WELL THATS WHAT SEASONS ARE ALL ABOUT.

Herzog again..............Where do I begin, I can't believe the Yankees have been defeated by the Boston Red Sox. Words cannot expain the dissappointment. Emotions don't show my sorrow. Basically I'm sick. Did they take Boston for granted, did they not hit, pitch, knuckle down hard enough to close the door. It really doesn't matter as the result is the same and probably some heads will roll. An analogy comes to mind, Boston did something that no-one thought possible, that hasn't been done in the history of baseball, coming back from a 3 to 0 deficit to win a 4 out of 7 series, to do something that everyone, including themselves thought a miracle would be needed. Well, Hannah and you come to mind. The three of you have accomplished this miracle, think positive and continue to continue the continuously repetetive ordeal to the regiment that you guys have to do on a daily basis. I still think that there is an overall plan that we are not aware of why God in his infinite wisdom chose you for this. Whatever it is, you shall overcome. Love, Joe

Jill, Scott & Hannah -
It was great seeing you guys last week and it was really fun to see Hannah being playful and so alert (I know, I wasn't there overnight to see the screaming but she was fun when I was there). The visit also lent some perspective to what you guys have been going through the last several months. Stay positive - continue to count the days until you can come back home - and continue to enjoy Hannah's progress. We are all thinking of you - let us know if there is anything you need or anything we can do.

Love,
Glenn, Dale, Vicki and Craig

Herzog again..............Glad to hear that Hannah continues to progress, but sorry that you had another night of little sleep. It is amazing that we take so much for granted in life. Little things that we do or don't do, we give actuallly no thought patterns at all. Breathing or just swallowing food are never thought of, except when you can't do them. From your last update, the both of you are definately aware of this, and probably you both will become a couple more in touch with what is important in life, and what is not. In a way, I'm a little jealous, but something is wrong that we need such a jolt in life to appreciate it. I can't that Boston tied the series. I can't believe that Boston tied the series. Ibid.........I still feel Yankees will prevail, after all, the yankees have all the History, and History tends to repeat itself. On my way in to the office and wanted to touch base before my day gets nuts. Stay well you three. Continue to continue, and look forward to coming home. Love Joe

hi my minnesota friends,
i just checked in and am so happy to hear of the latest dievrsion. jill how did your feet react in heels? thought you would like ot know that the empire state building was lit up in red, whit and yellow yesterday in honor of the ronald mc donald house anniversary. is it 25 years or 100? either way-it was pretty great to see. so many things make me think of all of you.
sorry i have not written much in the last week. i was in la la land for 7 days. a desk was out of the question much less a computer. crazy week.
the weekend here was beautiful. the leaves are amazing this year, i think because of all the rain we had. i am sure it was beautiful there. i hope you were able to take hannah out for a walk around the beautiful campus there to enjoy the fall weather and smell the clean air.
i am so shppy to hear of the progress hannah is making. just think of all the road blocks you have already overcome. just take one day at a time, that is al you can do. i do not think any of us who has been touched by hannah's and your story will ever take anything for granted again.
rick is sitting here watching game 6 of the yankee boston playoffs
it is the 5th inning and unfortunately yankees are down by 4 runs, but there is still hope and one more game if necassary. scott i hope you are able to get the games there- something to look foward to.
as always-you are in our hearts and prayers evry day. kiss hannah good night for us. hopefully you can get some rest.
can't wait until we see you again.
stay warm
love heater and rick

Delighted to hear Dan's positive comments. I can attest that time can be a great healer.
Now I'm not suggesting that the YANKS are choking, but I really enjoyed the past late evening entertainment. You may not have the only Mr. October. I would have called your father at 1:30a.m.

DEAR JILL, SCOTT AND HANNAH;
WELL I AM SITTING HERE ON THIS COMPUTER LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW. THE LEAVES ONCE AGAIN LOOK DIFFERENT THIS MORNING, NOT QUITE AS CHEERFUL AS THE RAIN IS STEADY AND FORCES SOME OF THE LEAVES TO DROP FROM THE TREES PREMATURELY. THAT BEING SAID, AS I DROVE UP MY STREET CAUTIOUSLY AS ALWAYS AS THE DEER ARE A FAMILIAR SITE, AND OFTEN DART ACROSS THE ROAD, LO AND BEHOLD A FLOCK OF WILD TURKEYS CROSSED THE ROAD. IT IS INCREDIBLE THE WONDERS OF NATURE ONCE AGAIN AT WORK.
WE ARE ANXIOUS TO SEE NEW PICTURES OF HANNAH AND WE HOPE ALL CONTINUES TO GO WELL.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO ALL YOUR POSITIVE ENTRIES, YOU CONTINUE TO BE IN OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS.

MONSEY, NY USA - Tuesday, October 19, 2004 10:57 AM CDT

Herzog again............Another day, another entry. It is beginning to feel automatic. Scott, I'm sure you've heard that Boston has won the last two games. Hard to believe the dramatic fashion they did it in, but a win is a win, Yankees stopped hitting, and you can't win unless you hit. Good new, Yankees only have to win one more, Boston needs 2. Hope everything is continuing to progress as it has been recently. I know how busy you are, but your, or your family entries are the only way I have of knowing what's happening. Hannah has been improving so well, I hope that trend continues. You three constantly remain in my families thoughts, and I hope you are feeling somewhat (as much as possible) rested under the circumstances. Enjoy Hannah while you're in Minn., as when you return, your time will invariably become more involved with work and other things. The time you have now should really be cherished as it is so special. In a rather bizarre twist, God had a plan, and even though we have no idea what that was presently, you and Jill have been able to spend such quality time with your daughter, time that probably you would never have done in New York. Continue on the path, looking forward to your next update and seeing you in New York. Love Joe

Herzog again...........Another week is beginning and as is usually the case, I am thoroughly depressed about it. Much work to be done in my firm preparing for the upcomming tax season and the fall foliage is at it's prettiest. In writing this update to you I feel somewhat small complaining about my relatively simmple, somewhat unimportant problems, taking into consideration everything the three of you have gone through over these past few months. Everything is relative, and the importance and weight we put on things is our choice, but trying to put into action what the both of you have taught me is so difficult. But, the both of you still remain my inspirations and I think about you and Hannah often. I hope this time of year is as pretty as it is in New York, especially upstate. The last update we received I hope was an indication of a trend that is taking place within Hannah. She seems to be doing so much better with her meds, her sleep, and hopefully her temperament. Scott, at this age it's OK for Hannah to have you wrapped, sealed and ready for shippment. In fact, it's probably normal, if the situation is the same 16 years from now, you will look back upon these days and wish for them. My 17 year old is spreading her independent wings, and trying to fly. Her looks, eyes and personality all pounce on me at once and it is very difficult to admonish her for anything. Normal? I can only hope. Let us know when the md's hopefully, if all things go well, will allow you to return to New York with Hannah. You and the family are truly missed. See other entries for my comments on the missing pics. Great tease!! Love Joe

Dear Scott, Jill, Hannah and Fredda,

Fall is a beautiful time in Vermont as I look out my windows and see the orange leaves on the maple trees. However the wind is blowing the leaves off the trees and we shall have to rake again.Jim is very depressed today after last nights game. Why do the Red Sox do this to the fans every year? He is off to a friends for tonights game, thank heavens.

I can't imagine the stress you have all been under but the up side is that Hannah is progressing. We put you in our prayers every day and during every service we go to at the RJC. WE are so very proud of you.

David is 36 today and Shoshana was 7 on Friday. Time marches on.In two months Joanie will be a Mommy.

Take care of yourselves. Love, Betsy

Dan and I are amazed at Hannah's progress - we talk about it often. She truly is a miracle and Dr. Peters is a courageous forward thinker who deserves acolades for his vision.

DEAR JILL:

THANKS FOR GETTING THE ADDRESS TO ME OF THE RONALD MCDONALD HOUSE. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO VIEW ANY NEW PICTURES SO I GUESS THERE IS A PROBLEM THERE. AS I SIT HER TYPING THIS, I AM REMINDED OF WHAT A LONG WINDING ROAD YOU GUYS HAVE BEEN ON. THE TREES NOW, AS I LOOK OUT MY WINDOW HAVE TURNED TO INCREDIBLE SHADES OF ORANGE, YELLOW, GREEN, AND OF COURSE AND RUST. EVERY MORNING, THE LANDSCAPE MOTHER NATURE ARRANGES FOR US, CHANGES DRAMATICALLY, AND WE SEE A WHOLE NEW BEGINNING OF THE LANDSCAPE, THEREFORE A WHOLE NEW DAY. IT IS PROBABLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL TIME OF YEAR WHEN YOU LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AS WE DO, AND I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS CHANGE. I CANNOT SAY SNOW IS MY FAVORITE, YET WHEN IT IS FRESH AND NEW AND THE TREES LOOK LIKE A PICTURE POST CARD THAT TOO IS SOME OF MOTHER NATURE'S INCREDIBLE WORK.
I GUESS WHAT I AM SAYING IS YOU ARE TEACHING US ONCE AGAIN TO TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE FLOWERS EACH DAY, AND APPRECIATE WHAT WE HAVE.
YOU, SCOTT AND HANNAH ARE AN INSPIRATION TO US ALL, AND WE LOOK TO THE DAY WHEN THE THREE OF YOU ARE ON YOUR WAY HOME.
LOVE THE GOLDSTEINS

MONSEY, NY USA - Sunday, October 17, 2004 8:01 AM CDT

Herzog again....Not too many entries in the guestbook since my latest entry. Sports update. Scott, I don't know if you in fact had the willpower or the availability to hear the Yankee Game, but, if you didn't hear all of it, let me be the first to tell you. A lot of records were set by the players individually and by the Yankees as a team, the beat Boston 19 to 8 to go three up. It was a true display of offensive power at a time when Boston needed to win or face elimination tonight. Watching the game last night, was for me better than, well, guess. I guess that rather sums up a portion of my life where the priority is not where it should be. 28 years of marriage, 2 children, another grown child and 2 grandchildren from a previous marriage has really taken it's toll on me, along with the daily grind of running a business and dealing with life's responsiblities. What has happenened to you Scott over the past 2 or 3 months has awakened something inside me and it is a little frightening. I have said this before, but each day should really be lived as it is our last, where we appreciate our family and loved ones, and deal with all the other crap on a level that does not give it as much importance as we all have given it over the years. I all too often get preoccupied with life's problems and loose track as too what is really important in my life, my kids my wife, and my other family members. You and Jill have brought this more to my frontal lobes, and I want to formally thank you. The both of you, through your steadfastness, vigilance, hard work and love you have displayed towards Hannah, is something for me to model. I hope Hannah continues to improve. See my last entry on how I feel about your latest pics before they dissappeared. Stay well and rested, and keep on course. A miracle awaits around the corner. Love Joe Herzog

Herzog again..........Glad to see the newest pictures of Hannah. Why is it that all kids seem to have more goo coming out of their nose than any other orofice of their bodies. Can you imagine meeting someone as an adult who constantly has a stream of liquid running from their nose. It truly is amazing what we accept as normal from kids, and not too normal from adults. I guess it depends on what your likes and dislikes are. Hannah truly looked great in the new pics. She really is an amazingly cute and apparantly very strong and determined child. Plainly evident that she can wrap anyone around her fingers, as she has with Scott. Your latest entry has stated that she no longer needs the feeding tube all the time. It seems that with each checkin from you, she makes more and more progress towards allowing the doctors to send her home with you, back to Long Island and your life. I had so many reservations when you first left, but that is me. Not only is the glass half-empty, it has a huge whole at the bottom. Nothing is as it seems if there can be any chance of failure, not a great way to stumble through life. But you and Jill have not walked, but ran into the shadow on Stallions and up to now have tamed the beasts. I believe that all your dreams, prayers, aspirations and hopes are going to be realized. Hannah apparantly has this unbridled source of energy and resoucefulness imbedded in her soul and will do whatever is necessary, like the both of you. I know I've said this before, but the both of you that thought this was your only option, should be proud of eachother anyway. To accomplish what you have done thus far, dropping everything and headed to Minn. speaks volumes as to the type of people you are and the amount of love you have towards your daughter. I am proud to say I am a friend of the both of you. Will check-in tomorrow. Tonight being Friday night, is the night that Boston, will be down 3 games to "nothin". I guess I feel a little bad for the Bostonians, but I would rather they lose for the rest of eternity if they face my Yankees in the playoffs. They can always move to New York, and become Yankees fans. See, there is always a way. Love Joe

There is a place in Hauppauge called Angela's House, something along the lines of Ronald McDonald,it was started by a father just like you who had to go miles away from home for a facility like this, if your interested I could get you the information.

Dear Jill and Scott,
Hannah's Uncle Dan put a big smile on my face. His wonderful journal entry and those two beautiful pictures of Hannah made my day. It's been a while since I've written but you're in my thoughts everyday. My visit to Ronald McDonald in Minneapolis has motivated me to look for volunteer opportunities at the R McD House in my area of NJ. So you see, little Hannah, at only nine months old you're inspiring people to do good deeds. Such is the effect you've had on my life (and apparently, on the lives of so many others). Keep getting stronger, Hannah. We think about you everyday.

Dear Jill, Scott and Hannah,

It has been such a long time since I signed this book - when I get off the telephone with you - I feel as if we catch up on everything and today I realized that yes, this book is for the two of you - but, it is also for Hannah to read in several years to come. Dan - GREAT GREAT JOURNAL ENTRY!!!! I know that Jill and Scott were THRILLED to have both Mindy and Dan "tag teaming" in Minneapolis. Scott - when you all return to New York - you might have to shift an allegiance from one New York sports team to one sports team in Minnesota. Maybe the Vikings - since I know that a Yankees switch will not be considered.

I would like everyone to mark a milestone for Jill and Scott. Jill and Scott will be attending a benefit in honor of the Ronald McDonald house - and yes, they will be getting all "dolled up" and participating in a very worthy cause. Hannah will see her mommy and daddy looking sharp for the first time in months. I also want to say that Jill and Scott are helping to support a cause that has helped them so much over the past several months. Talk about altruistic people. With everything that the three of them have endured and continue to endure, they still find time to support an important charity.

I love you all very much - and I know that it's one day at a time, but, every day my smile gets wider and wider.

I want you both to dance to a very special song tomorrow night (and yes Scott, with each other).

Enjoy the night -
Love,
Raquel

Keep up the hard work, looks like all the love and support are working...along with Hannah's obvious strong will! Have to tell you that since Joe passed along the site, I check in daily, to read the latest report. You guys have amazing friends and family...just goes to show what amazing parents Hannah has!

I was glad to hear the you and Jill took a night off and got some rest. It is very important for the two of you to stay well (which requires sleep) for Hannah. It is wonderful to hear what great support you have from both of your families - it really is quite moving. It is also awesome to hear the Hannah is general happy and giggling! The sound of a baby giggling brightens everyone's day. I hope that she will start eating soon but either way it sounds like she is getting the nutrition. As always, you are in my thoughts and my prayers

Commack, NY US - Thursday, October 14, 2004 8:44 AM CDT

Herzog again..........Well, what can I say. Another year, another Boston Yankee series, another Boston obvious loss in the ACLS. Yankees went up 2 games to 0 and Boston used their 2 best pitches. It now is a matter of time. I know Scott will be overjoyed by this news, as I am, as most of New Yorkers are, who's your daddy? Scott and Jill, I hope the two of you are still on the same chapter in your book of miracles and that Hannah continues her fight to produce what she has to produce. Are you talking to her and telling her what she has to do internally. Hey!! You never know what miracles lie in the unconscious of a child, for that matter in each of us. I stopped long ago trying to understand the mysteries of life, its too confusing for my rather simple brain. Life is too complex for me to understand it, I rather just live it, and get as much enjoyment, happiness and contentment out of it on a daily basis. Don't those thought patterns sound like they are coming from an evolved intellectual. Well, I wear my masks as well as anyone. I have a million masks to wear, what scares me is when sometimes I'm caught offguard, and I leave them at home. I feel undressed without my armour. Not a comfartable feeling. Scott, you are one of the few individuals I have met that actually wears his feelings on his shirt, for all to see. Nothing about you is fake. One of the reasons I love you and what you and Jill are doing with Hannah. Will Check in tomorrow. Love Joe

Dearest Cousins,

Scott, that was a great report. Pretty soon Hannah will have her top ten songs, and you better be prepared.

I am recovering from an extremely mild cold even though I washed my hands. And more news, with all this technology, my son Daniel sent me yesterday's recent sono of Lida and his pregnancy, and it looks very clearly to be a male baby. Though I love and appreciate all the technology now available, but when it is your own, it knocked my sox off.

I appreciate Mr. Herzog keeping us all up to date regarding sports. So, I can safely assume this will not be a subway series. My focus now has to turn to basketball, as son Sam has an itty bitty column called "Dirty Thirty", which I understand he will answer emails comments,critiques, info on the 30 basketball teams.

Again, most important to have your updates, and delight in the continuing good progress.

Herzog again.........Glad to be alive and well in New York after defeating Boston. Scott, an amazing game which I will let you read about rather than bore you with a play by play from an inexperienced hack. Let it suffice to say, NY 1, Boston 0. I truly hope that Hannah continues on her rather long, arduous and bizarre period in her life towards letting her body do its work to give you three a long and happy life together. This has been such an emotional ride for the two of you, I am very proud of the both of you for doing what you had to do, and remaining somewhat sane throughout this ordeal. I am sure Hannah was worth every minute of sacrifice, torment, more sacrifice, sleepness nights, more sacrifice, you get the picture. The both of you are truly amazing parents and your parents must be amazingly proud of the both of you too. I know Hannah is. Stay well. Will Check in soon again. Love JOe

Hi Guys
Well, I left today and it was even harder than usual as I left my better half, my rock, with you. I know that he will be there for you the way he is always for me and that you will be so very well taken care of. In fact, I just spoke to Dan and he told me he was grilling fresh fish on the BBQ for you. HEALTHY stuff!! I am exhausted and I miss you all already. It seems that everyone survived my absence and in fact, Haley got all A's on her exams and made all county choir while I was gone! She has a lot of Stimell in her and can harmonize well with us, Scott. You guys will get everything under control as things become more routine. Call with any questions and please let the caregivers help you out with the shopping, etc
All my love

Hi Scott & Jill,
I'm always so happy to hear when Hannah has a good day.
I know you both must be exhausted. Hang in. If you can once again send me your mailing address I would be more than willing to send you guys some more mandel bread. It's my pleasure.

Herzog again............Glad to read your latest update. This may be the best update I have read from you that was almost all postive. What an absolute joy it must be to hear Hannah giggle and laugh. There truly is nothing in this entire world that can bring happiness or a smile to anyone's face more than that of hearing a child giggle. It's an hypnotic and contageous sound that really kills the duldrums within me. When I come home at night, and my kids are happy, nothing is a better script for me to relax and unwind. I hope this trend continues and that brighter days are ahead. Still home with the flu and am going slowly out of my mind. Looking forward to the Yankees and Boston tonight. Since I am not one for tension, I hope NY takes a 10 to nothing lead in the first inning.Thanks for the update and hope that everything continues to improve. Love Joe

Checking on Hannah's progress everyday has become part of my morning ritual. What a lift to hear she's doing well. I can't imagine how fatigued you both are, but to hear her giggles and see her a bit more comfortable, I know makes it doable. You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Scott:
You, Jill, and Hannah are in our thoughts.
You sounded good yesterday and it was great to hear your voice. We sold 14 out of 17 items--that is why I could not remember the fourth item we did not sell.
I will e-mail Brian in a few minutes to tell him what is up,
and I will try to phone him tomorrow.
They were great to us, as you are when you are home.
I look forward to seeing and speaking to you soon. Both you and Jill be well and Hannah will hopefully join you in wellness soon.

Well guys, what can I say, my son and I had a great weekend visiting you, seeing the Yankees come back and win an incredible game, and seeing in person, the beautiful smile and laughter of Hannah. While the game was great, seeing all of the love and caring that Hannah is getting was even better. You are all doing an amazing job under the most difficult of circumstances. You are so very lucky to have the support of your family and the people and the facility at Ronald McDonald are incredible. Those hambergers they made were outstanding. Thanks again for a great weekend.

Herzog again...........Hope all continues to go well for everyone in Ronald's house and that all concerned are getting their much needed sleep. Still home with the flu or flu like symptoms. Had to miss a Bar Mitzvah in Jersey on Saturday because of this and am first realizing how upset I am for not being able to go. A close friend for over 3o years. Heard from 3rd party sources how much my friend's wife is angry at me. Scott, if nothing else, over the past three months, you and your situation hopefully has taught me not to sweat the small stuff. I believe there exists a book with the same title. Too many situations in life draw the energy out of me and unfortunately I'm not as strong as I used to be. I am trying on almost a daily basis to realize what is really important in my life. My family, our health and nothing else. Everything else is all window dressing. I do hope the three of you are doing well. I look forward to your next update to tell us more specifics about all that is happening in your world. Love Joe

Dear Jill, Scott, and Hannah,
Jim and I are on our way home from 10 days in Va and NJ.We had a wonderful time in Williamsburg, viewing colonial America and a different time and place. Of course the Red Sox and Yankees occupied the evenings.We are at Sarah's enjoying Shoshana,Isaac, and Eli. They are fun to be with even if Eli is faster than I am.
It sounds like Hannah is a feisty little girl; I wonder who she takes after. It must be the Grandma Fredda in her that will not take no for an answer. thank heavens for her persistance. We are so proud of the way that you have all pulled together; you are truly an inspiration for others.

Herzog again............Have the flu, was totally out of it yeesterday, sorry for not checking in. Read your entry from the previous log-in and wanted to tell you that Hannah was, is, and will always be the boss until she marries and leaves the house. We only think we are the parents that set the groundrules, curfews, and limits for our daughters, but in reality, the opposite is the truth. Faith and I are always telling Alexis, our 17 year old, when to be home, homework to do, no television or instant messaging or telephone till chores are done, on and on, and she still does what she wants to do when she wants to. On the really important issues, we truly are the parents, but these smaller issues really take the toll over a period of time and both Faith & I have resigned ourselves to just give in on small issues, for they are not important. Are we not part on the new age intillectual types that rationalize all. It seems to work currently, but our rules, even for ourselves seem to change on a daily basis. I guess that's what parenthood is. I can only assume that you are well and that Hannah still progresses at her rate, hopefully not being a tremendous burden on your sleep or you routine. When you return to New York, I want to actually see this "bannana" that everyone is talking and raving about. She must be some work of art. I pray eveyday, that what is supposed to happen to Hannah will happen and that the miracle that we are all hoping for will actually happen. In case you haven't heard, the Yankees are playing Boston again for the American flag. No surprise. I hope you were able to watch the games, for Arod and all the yankess (except maybe for Posada) played like the champions they are and the result was jsut a matter of time. Posada when he doesn't hit, well, he can't run or catch to well, but when he begins to streak, there is noone better. The whether is New York is beginning to turn and summer has finally left us. I am a typical New Yorker, can't stand any season for too long, and look with great anticipation for each change. Did the Desitin work on Hannah, don't be ashamed, if you have a rash, it works on adults also. Love you both and continue to do what you have to, remember you have the support from so many, and you and Jill are thought of often. Love Joe

We're so happy to hear about Hannah's progress thus far.

Her feistiness and your strength will see you all through

Herzog again.........Scott and Jill, each time I sit down to write this entry into the guestbook, I am figuratively sitting next to you. It seems over the past two months this has become a daily routine for me. And strange as it sounds, I enjoy writing to you for it makes me feel like I'm helping in some small way. Read your latest entry and am sorry I can't be there to physically spell you two from another evening. I wish you three so many good things ahead. The most important wish and prayer is that all that the three of you have gone through will lead you to the miracle around the corner. Hannah I believe knows what she has to do, and my wife would say to you, talk to Hannah and tell her what she has to do. Get her body to start believing in herself that whatever has to get done, whatever has to be produced, whatever has to be accomplished by this special child will be done. My wife and alot of people believe in this, that the body listens and can heal. I am a more tangible type of individual, if I can't see it and touch it, it doesn't exist. Well, recently so much has happened in my life, and now yours, my openess to new ideas, medicine and ways of healing oneself is more accepting than it used to be. Getting better is a long process, and one should not close their eyes to anything that may help. Am praying for a quick return to New York for the three of you. Have a good evening and will check in tomorrow. Love Joe

New York, NY USA - Friday, October 8, 2004 11:23 AM CDT

Dear Jill and Scott,
This is for the two of you because you are very special people....

A Lovely Story

Sometimes we all need to hear how special we are. So today I 'm taking the time to do that, to let you know how special you are.

One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.

Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.

It took the remainder of the class period to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed in the papers.

That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about that individual.

On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling. "Really?" she heard whispered. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much." were most of the comments.

No one ever mentioned those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. That group of students moved on.

Several years later, one of the students was killed in Viet Nam and his teacher attended the funeral of that special student. She had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. He looked so handsome, so mature.

The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.

As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pallbearer came up to her. "Were you Mark's math teacher?" he asked. She nodded: "yes." Then he said: "Mark talked about you a lot."

After the funeral, most of Mark's former classmates went together to a luncheon. Mark's mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak with his teacher.

"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might recognize it."

Opening the billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him.

"Thank you so much for doing that," Mark's mother said. "As you can see, Mark treasured it."

All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. Charlie smiled rather sheepishly and said, "I still have my list. It's in the top drawer of my desk at home."

Chuck's wife said, "Chuck asked me to put his in our wedding album."

"I have mine too," Marilyn said. "It's in my diary."

Then Vicki, another classmate, reached into her pocketbook, took out her wallet and showed her worn and frazzled list to the group. "I carry this with me at all times," Vicki said and without batting an eyelash, she continued: "I think we all saved our lists."

That's when the teacher finally sat down and cried. She cried for Mark and for all his friends who would never see him again.

The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don't know when that one day will be.

So please, tell the people you love and care for, that they are special and important.
If you've received this, it is because someone cares for you.
Remember, you reap what you sow. What you put into the lives of others comes back into your own.

May Your Day Be Blessed As Special As You Are

It sounds like you're all exhausted but each little step seems to be heading in the right direction. Little Hannah sounds like she's learned to assert herself and that toughness is just what she needs to beat this thing. Have patience and be strong; you're so lucky to have so much support from so many folks. Unfortunately, when serious illness rears it's ugly head, most people try to distance themselves; in Hannah's case, thank G-d, people have drawn closer. It makes a big difference !

Hello Stimell family! Once again, I was blessed to see Hannah's grandma on her trip to Mpls as I was leaving NY to go home. It was a strange coincidence as I have been praying and keeping up with the website a few months back. I felt that I was in the right place at the right time when I saw her again. I got a one on one about Hannah's progress. It has been an amazing journey. I have so much admiration for the strength, hope, and amazing love that your family and friends have during this time. Linda-it was so great to see you again, go to Lunds or Byerlys, I know that you all will like these grocery stores much better than the others. And, if any of you need a tour guide or have questions about the area, Linda has my number. I would love to help on any way I can. For Now, I will continue to pray, and put Hannah on my prayer lists. As her grandma said, "this child has defied the odds". Keep doing it, Hannah! You have an amazing spirit(and I heard you like to hear your daddy sing). I hope and pray you get some sleep(Scott and Linda)-and the blessed Hannah continues to thrive.
My thoughts and prayers,

Hey Scott and Jill

Scott, I have been keeping up on the progress via this website and Ross Feldman- I am glad to hear that some of the treatments are working-

You know, the other day someone said to me- When you grow up in Merrick and Bellmore- there is a special bond you have! And it's true- Although I have not seen you in years-I have great memories of our times together. I feel like we never lost touch- and that it was just the other day we were hanging out!

So you should know- your old friends- are here with you and your family at this time.

I am here if you need anything- I am thinking of you- and I am praying for you and your family!

Much love!

Just a quick note to say hi and let you know I was thinking about you guys, as I do every day. I spoke with Linda today and she told me how difficult it has been for both of you both the strength you have together as a team will lead you to the miracle Hannah deserves. The Yanks doged a bullet last nite and if it goes to game 5, I will be there with Marshall. Try and get some sleep. Love you guys.

To our wonderful family and friends
Several of you have asked for the address of the Ronald McDonald house where Scott, Jill and Hannah are staying.
It is as follows:
621 Oak Street SE, APT 423
Minneapolis, MN 55454
I know that their faces light up when there is mail in that box. MN is so very far away and hearing from loved ones makes them feel closer to all of us.
Thanks for all of your love and support

Herzog again...........I can't believe i missed a day. Sorry. Read through all the current entries in the guestbook and continue to be amazed at the amount of people following and sharing this saga with you. Linda's entry, along with the entry's of anyone who visits you in Minn. really depict the situation as I would imagine it to be. "Hannah" time is very appropiate. To a lesser degree, our lives as parents really are geared to the responsibilities and chauffering we have to do for our kids. Hence, we adapt ourselves, whether it be right or wrong, to gear our days and evenings around our children. I personally love living for my kids. It distracts my thoughts away from me, and puts me in touch with my children and my wife. For those of us who are constantly proccupied, this is a good thing. For the Stimmell's, a different situation, but the same. I imagine spending time with Hannah, Giving Hannah her meds, Waking her up and putting her to sleep, feeding Hannah and just taking care of her and trying to keep her smiling and happy is a job anyone would love to have. Remember this when it's 4:00AM and you are exhausted and Hannah is cranky. Where else would you want to be? If your like me, the answer is nowhere else. I hope all is as well as it can be in Minn. since your last update. Myself, and from the entries, alot of other people are very interested and are thinking about you often. Keep on doing all that is necessary. Hope your spirits are high, and call me whenever they are not, I will try to uplift them. Anytime..Love Joe

DEAR SCOTT:
YOUR JOURNAL ENTRY WAS INCREDIBLE. YOUR THANKS TO YOUR FAMILY MEMBERS AND THE LOVE YOU EXPRESSED BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES. HOW WONDERFUL TO BE ABLE TO EXPRESS LOVE IN SUCH AN ARTICULATE WAY TO YOUR MOMS AND SISTER AND ALL THOSE WHO ARE THERE FOR YOU.
MIRACLES OCCUR LITTLE BY LITTLE, BUT NO LESS EXTRAORDINARY. YOU KEEP YOUR SPIRITS UP AND REMEMBER EVERY DAY HANNAH SHOWS EVERYONE WHAT MIRACLES ARE REALLY ABOUT.
WHO KNOWS BY THE TIME SHE IS WELL AND ON THE WAY HOME, YOU GUYS CAN ENTER MEDICAL SCHOOL.
TWO REQUESTS, WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE HANNAH'S PICTURES UP-DATED IF THATS POSSIBLE AND ESPECIALLY WITH HER BLUE MASK.
ANOTHER IS THE ADDRESS OF THE RONDALD MCDONALD HOUSE WHERE IF WE CAN WOULD LOVE TO SEND SOME SPECIAL GOODIES FOR ALL THE RESIDENTS.
LOVE TO ALL OF YOU, THE GOLDSTEINS

Dearest Cousins,

Truly enjoyed the news of your transition, and am sorry for the lack of sleep by all.

We had a frost on Long Island last night, and so I don't know what I will do with all the potentially frozen potted plants. Our very progressive Brooklyn landlord is conserving the heating oil (good for the environment), and so the plants would not have been comfortable in Brooklyn. However, Indian summer is headed our way.

We had friends from Minneapolis, and they loved to entertain us with stories of the Minnesota mosquitoes. Any exposures?

By now, hope your "new" routine has settled in. Keep us posted.

With love, hugs, kisses,and all good wishes.

Dear Scott, Jill, Hannah and Linda,

I've just returned home from my incredible journey to the Ronald McDonald house in Minneapolis. What can I say that hasn't been said by every person who loves you? That your daughter captured my heart. That her tender touch, sweet smile and captivating eyes are impossible to forget. That she is surrounded by an incredible team of caregivers led by her parents whose days are not divided by day or night but revolve around their little girl. You're not on central time anymore. You're on Hannah time. As one of the hundreds of people who have followed your daughter's story, I felt honored not just to meet this sweet, beautiful child, but also to see the Stimmel team in action. Measuring and administering the meds, putting them into the tube, checking to make sure the tube in in place, soothing Hannah's cries, making Hannah smile and ALL on little to no sleep. Is there any parent who wouldn't do what you're doing? Probably very few. But the dignity, strength and love with which you face this challenge, and the courage you have demonstrated everyday, is something that sets you apart. As you know, I met with members of the Jewish community at a UJC event this afternoon. Several women who know I visited you asked if they can be of assistance for as long as you're at Ronald McDonald. Many warm and caring people in the Minneapolis community would like to help -- if you need the help; all you have to do is let me know. I leave you now with my wish for a peaceful night and my hope that Hannah continues to grow strong and healthy. Never forget that the power of love and support from all who care deeply about you and Hannah, will accomplish only good things. I look forward to seeing you again soon in Haworth, NJ (or Long Island). Your baby girl is beautiful, special and unforgettable. As excited as I was to see my own kids when I got home, it was Hannah who was constantly on my mind. God bless all of you.

Love,
Linda Scherzer

Scott, Jill and Hannah: It really was touching to read that Hannah is progressing! But, more touching is that you find the time to thank others. I'm sure you know that a thank you is really not necessary, people do things because they want to, not because that have to. You are truly wonderful and all those who know you are blessed! Continue to be strong! Thinking of you all! Michelle

Jill and Scott, each day I read your journal and continue to be in awe at your ability to meet the growing needs and challenges you are faced with. It is when we are faced with dire challenges, that we as human beings are given an opportunity to show our true selves. I have the utmost respect and admiration for both of you. You are wonderful people, but more importantly phenomenal parents. Hannah is a very lucky girl and I believe she knows that as evidenced by her ability to beat the odds thus far.

On a personal note, that is why I am proud to call Andrew my best friend. He may not always have the right words to say, but he always has the actions to let you know how important you are in his life.

My thoughts and prayers continue to be with you. It was good to speak with you last week. Please don't hesitate to call, if you need me.

Herzog again......You can tell from the time of night that I'm writing this to you, it's going to be one of those late nights. Unfortunately, I have these type of nights too often where I don't fall asleep till 3 or 4 am. What to do, check in. I read some of the journal entries this evening, and I'm so impressed Scott and Jill of the countless friends that the both of you seem to have, that travel to Minn to help out. Do you promise something to them in your will. Do you pay the airfare?? What's going on here? I really am awed by the relationships that the both of you seem to have with friends and family. But, knowing the both of you, from a different perspective than maybe anyone else, these relationships really don't surprise me. The both of you are very special people and special people attract special people. Maybe that makes me special too. I hope so!!! Everyone that leaves who have visited you, all convey different thoughts, but are really saying the same thing. You are strong, tired, compassionate, warm, loving and courageous people. So is Hannah. I hope she continues to progress and feels good. I hope her body is doing eveything it's supposed to do so the three of you can begin your new life together in Long Beach. LOve Joe

syosset, ny usa - Monday, October 4, 2004 7:41 PM CDT

hi jill ,scott,hanah, goodbye to fredda an dwelcome to linda,
rick an i made it home safely. we just want to say how great we felt after spending time with scott, jill, hannah,fredda, kevin, and stephanie. it may seem crazy to those reading this tht we feel good. however, it is hard to put into words what jill,scott,and mostly hannah are going thru on a day to day basis. scott put it into words in his entry,but until seeing it first hand it is truly hard to imagine. so, if we brought a little bit of normalacy into your crazy, intense world, then we accomplished a little of what we hoped. the fact that i could take jill on a shopping run- where i did not crash the car and we did not get lost- is a miracle in itself- just to let you all know jill is almost a minnesotain- she found her way around the city perfectly. pretty amazing since she has not ventured further than the hospital and target in the last 3 months- oh yes and we cannot forget the state fair.
the fact that scott, kevin,and rick, and steph could get out to pick up sushi and have a few coctails while they were waiting, as jill,fredda,and me had some wine and a toast to hannah while they were out, and the fact that when we all were back together sitting around the table, that steph cleaned, eating sushi and telling stories from childhood ( well scott and steph did most of that we all just laughed). the fact that we could get jill and scott to laugh and smile and relax maybe just a little means we all accomplished our goal.
when jill looked up from the table when we are were there and said "are we really in minn. it feels like ny" i could have cried.
it is hard to imagine what they have already endured as a family and even harder to imagine the uncharted waters ahead. by the time they get back to ny they will both be able to go into 3rd year nursing school. but when you look into hannah's big,beautiful eyes and you see her smile, and you see her hold on to fredda's hand with her little hand and fall asleep you know that the road ahead may be tough but it will end in a miracle. she is such and amazing litle girl to still be able to smile and laugh in spite of what she has already endured. she does not miss a beat. she needs to know what is going on at all times around her. and she loves her family- you can see it in her eyes and actions. it is so great to witness.
scott is right- fredda is amazing. she is a rock of support. we really enjoyed spending time w her.
steph and kevin- you we great to hang with.
sorry this is a litle wordy, but it is so hard to express the emotions you have once you leave eveyone there in minnesota.
jill and scott and hannah we can not express how much we love all of you and how glad we are that we were there to see and help you. it was hard to leave.
lastly- i have to put A word in about the ronald mc donald house. what an incrediable organization. i canot tell you all enough how lucky jill and scott were to get into it. there is a huge waiting list and i can see why. they think of everything so you do not have to. from volenteer's coming in every night and cooking meals for the people there to shopping for cooking supplies and laundry detergent, to the black out shades on the windows so the children do not have ot have the sun blaring in their eyes, to the warmth extended to everyone there. truely amazing.

as always you are in our thoughts and prayers,
give hannah a kiss for us
love

Dear Scott, Jill, and Hannah
I am overwhelmed by your mushy public thankyou and I must say that I would never think of being any other way. It was just a matter of course that we were going to go through this TOGETHER. I believe that things happen for a reason. Hannah was born into the right family. It was no mistake that there are three pediatricians in our family and certainly no mistake that you have parents that will drop everything in a heart beat to be there for you: whether to do laundry, cook, or be a sounding board. WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER and we will come out of it together and with that, make the world a better place to live. Have a peaceful sleep...
We love you very much

How blessed you are to have so much family and friends around you at this time, especially two doting grandmas like Linda and Fredda. Everything you describe puts so much pressure on you both but you will accomplish all of these tasks and tell Hannah about them years from now. So many people care and are on your side ! More importantly, G-d is on your side !

Herzog again..........Thank you Scott for the update in the home page. I have been writing on the come and not knowing exactly what was going on was somewhat disconcerting for me. I can't imagine how tired the both of you are. The repetitive days you described is something that I think you have to live through to understand, but I can sympathize with the extraordinary circumstances in which Hannah is currently growing up in, and you. Each time you convey what you and Jill go through, I am truly amazed that the both of you are still talking to eachother. If I ever spent this much concentrated time with my wife, well, there would be another war. God bless the both of you and Hannah. You three are special people and you should know that. The hurdles and mountains you climb and conquer on a daily basis should be an inspiration to all of us. Keep on fighting and keep on believing. I do. I believe. I think miracles can be created. Love Joe

- Sunday, October 3, 2004 4:24 PM CDT

Herzog again........Hope all is well and that you haven't updated because of exhaustion of taking care of your little sweetheart. Getting used to new surrondings for a young child is not easy and considering the meds, doctors and nurses Hannah has to endure each day, even though she's at Ronald's house with the love that you give her, I'm sure is not easy. I am thoroughly amazed that Hannah has responded as well as she has to everything that she has gone through over the past 2 months or so. An amazing girl. Scott and Jill, one of the reasons that Hannah has survived as well as she has, is that the both of you have sacrificed everything to help this child, to make her comfortable, relaxed, secure, warm and cozy, not for one minute thinking about the inconvenience to you. When I look back at the years raising all my children, right or wrong, it seems that my needs and my wifes needs seemed to have changed in priority, and taken second place to making sure my kids were happy. There are some that don't take to that philosophy. Well, My KIDS always come first. And that is what drives me and gets me through. My prayers and thoughts are still concentrating on the three of you in Minn. and hoping for your return soon. LOve Joe

Dear Hannah, Jill and Scott,
I saw your mom, Jill, on Saturday at the Ocean Club and she filled Joyce and I in on all the great news about Hannah's release to the Ronald McDonald house. It just goes to show you that Western medicine and the "textbooks" can always be proven wrong, as in the case of Hannah, the new miracle baby. I am a strong advocate for non-conventional Western medical ways and have studied quite a bit in the Japanese way of remedies. Sometimes there are alternatives for most ailments and not just the Western ways. In the U.S. doctors are taught one way, but if you open your minds to try something new, other things work. In your case, you both opened up your minds and your hearts to something that going into, you knew the risks and probably never expected the great rewards that have come out of it. You are all great inspirations to everyone.
Who knows, maybe when this is all over, you can have your own reality series and make millions? Everybody else seems to have reality shows on TV nowadays? Just a little humor....we all look forward to your return back to Long Beach and continue to keep the prayer chain going for all of you. Your updates are great and so are the stories, photos and email postings. Stay strong...you are now in a changing season and little Hannah is so loved by so many people now. It is amazing that one small baby can make such an impact on such a numerous, wide variety of people.
Good luck at the Ronald McDonald House, but I know you will do just fine...you have such great love and affection all around you. You are all lucky to have such wealth in your lives!
See you soon!

Hi Scott, Jill & Little Hannah,
I just needed to let you all know that I have been reading your entries in the journal & following your ups & downs throughout. I can't tell you how often I am thinking & praying for all of you. The pictures of Hannah that you have posted are just too precious for words, she is one beautiful little girl. I want to include a little passage that I came across that brought you all to mind: Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all!- Dale Carnegie. So continue to keep your thoughts positive & let's all look forward to bringing Hannah home. Love Linda, Rob, Steve, Andrew & Mandy (down in North Carolina)

Dear Scott,Jill, and Hannah,

We know you have your hands full right now, but look
what you've accomplished. Miracles do and are happening
We would go to the ends of the earth for our children,
and that never changes. Keep up the great work and most
important, keep your spirits up. You're both un-
believable and you're always in our thoughts and prayer

With Love,
Natalie and Mel

Herzog again.........Hey guys...Not too many people signing in today. It seems as though over the weekend, entries seem to drop a little. As promised, I will try to enter each day. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been able to do what the both of you have done with Hannah, and I guess I believe that there really was no other choice, and I would have done the exact same thing. Regardless of the sacrifice upon myself, my wife, and in my case, other children. I guess what I'm saying is that as loving parents, you really were left with no other choice, and that the both of you should be so proud in the way you have handled the situation to date. The trip, this website, the connections, the hospital, the doctors, the relationships you have maintained with loved ones, friends and family, and the new relationships you have started. If grades were given out by the grade keeper, an all of our behaviors and what we have done in crises', you mark percentile would approximate in the neighborhood of 100%. My prayers continue to go out to the both of you and Hannah to continue on the path to Long Beach. Any journey worth taking, is a journey worth taking. (A profundity). Please update your entry to I can know whats happening, this is the only means I have to stay in touch with what's cooking. Without your entry, I am totally out of the loop.LOve you both and hope all is going well. Joe

Hey guys
I have an "out of the mouth of babes" for you. Tonight after we came back from Shabbat services we were talking about Hannah with Brian. I asked him if he believes in miracles. He said, " I believe in G-d and I believe that G-d can make miracles happen" So, there you have it - and I must say that Brian has his hand on the pulse of what's going on. So, let's believe! And, on that note, I have no more lights on the right side of my kitchen as they blew one by one each night I was in Minneapolis!
Love you!!

Scott, Jill, Fredda, Hannah and the whole crew - thank God for small miracles - you are out - and I'm sure overwhelmed - it will come with time and a routine. It is a lot for anyone to handle. I know what it is like just to have kids with no meds and I'm tired all the time! We keep you in our hearts and prayers. Jack has been checking every day but is not computer wise enough to be able to make an entry and I have been in NYC on business. My children thought that I was never coming back - if only they knew how I scheduled the trips - pack in the days just not to be away from their little faces. You give exponentially more and make more sacrifices for your little one - I admire you for it and pray for strength for you. Give her a kiss for us. (you'll have to let a beard grow in a few days to simulate Jack!!!)Love,

Jill and Scott - great news - the out of the hospital part, not the crying every time Hannah sees Scott part. Maybe someone needs to try to create some Scott masks so the poor guy can get a break. The whole family sends regards and I am still planning to be in Minn on 10/13 and 10/14 to see you guys. I'll be in touch about that next week. Keep the good news coming.

Herzog again............Scott and Jill, I continue to read everyone's entries in the guestbook. You both I believe can achieve anything you want to for you have a large, caring, strong and faithful following from friends, family, acquaitances and even strangers who have heard of your situation. I am truly amazed; and happy for the both of you now that the three of you can start living like a family again. Better than before as Scott while in Minn. won't be going to work, and Hannah is simply ecstatic of that fact as she now has her personal slave available 24/7 that she can order around and carry her anywhere for as long as she wants. Being her age has it's definite advantages, also having a loving and caring pushover for a daddy. I hope you are adjusting to taking care of the needs of your little one. I really am so happy for the three of you. Prayers are being answered. Continue continuing to do the continuous, repeditive and structured way of life for the present. Love Joe, Will check in again.

I will continue to keep you in my thoughts and my prayers.

Dear Scott, Jill, and Dollface Hannah Banana - I am sitting here sniffling, my face wet with tears - I had to stop reading your update, because I couldn't see through the tears - oops - here they come again - hold on a sec - be right back ...
Hannah, you're such an amazing little girl! You are truly Princess#1 - someday I'll explain to you what that means - it's what my Grandma called me, but I think you are more deserving than me! Someday I'll explain it to you - not to Mommy & Daddy - to you - and then you can tell them if you want to - or we can be YaYa Princesses and keep it secret!!!!
Jill & Scott, I understand, or at least understand more intimately than some, how REMARKABLE Hannah's progress is!!!!I'm at work right now and I have a photo on my desk of my Dad & me - his unveiling is Sunday & I miss him terribly. The pic was taken right after I came home from Johns Hopkins - we're standing together & he's got his arm around me & we're both bald ... him by choice (he used to bribe his barber to shave his head rather than just cut his hair) and me ... well ... me - not by choice! I treasure the photo - even though it was a hard time, we made it through together - just like you and Hannah are doing now!!!!
Your news is such good news!!!!!! In the last pic you posted, just after the transplant, chubby cheeks, whatever ... there was a sparkle in Hannah's eyes - that's her spirit fighting! She doesn't understand any of this - all she knows is that you are there when she wants to be held or played with or sung to - she knows she can sleep anytime at all & you'll be watching over her and any time she opens her eyes, day, night, in between, whenever - someone she loves is there for her! Isn't she lucky!!!!!!!!!!
And I know in my heart, having traveled a SOMEWHAT similiar path, that she would take away your worry and fear if she could - she'd say 'Mommy & Daddy don't worry - it'll be ok - I love you!' And then she'd say ...
'Get ready 'cause here I come ... just watch me blossom ... get that tricycle ready - I'd like pink please - with lots of streamers and ... a gel seat (of course - duh!)!
Enough tears ... I'm going to smile and rejoice for you now!
Much love and many prayers - Jodine - 'Grandma" Kathi's friend

Your latest up-date leaves me breathless, with the wondeful news of Hannah's progress.

We must eat to keep up our strength; we need an update on Ms. Banana/Peaches preferences.

Knish Knosh should arrive tomorrow.

We are deeply grateful for this day.

Herzog again......Thank you Mindy for the update, both detailed and emotional. Your words were heartfelt and described only what I imagine the situation to be. I'm not surprised that Scott and Jill have a freind like you. I'm so happy for Scott, Jill, Hannah and the family now that Hannah is home at the Ronald house. Another chapter in this rather bizarre tale now begins and hopefully one is closed forever. I have no doubt that this period will be as successful as the last one, just keep on believing and forging ahead. As I read Mindy's update, I remebered fondly when my then 1 year old son wanted me to pick him up every time he saw me. And as I am an individual who definitively knows what a parent should do and what a parent should not do, I ended up walking around the house with him on my shoulders all day and every day when I wasn't working. I am and always will be a Rock of Gibralter, (NOT). Again, I am really overjoyed beyond what words can describe, that Hannah has made it back to a home with you. Keep on enjoying her and yourselves. Thank you again Mindy. Stay in touch. Love Joe

Dear Scott & Company:
I never dreamed that when I purchased a picture, 2 weeks ago, of the famous error by Bill Buckner against the Mets in the 1986 World Series that I would end up following your unbelievable journey.
After reading about Hanna, seeing the support and love of so many along with your commitment to her certain recovery, I thought I would leave you with a quote from JFK.

"Commitment is what transforms a promise into reality.
It is the words that speak boldly of your intentions and the actions which speak louder than words.
It is making the time when there is none. Coming through time after time. Commitment is the main ingredient of character. It is the daily triumph of integrity over skepticism." - John F. Kennedy

She seems to be doing all the "drive your parents crazy" things. Good, she knows how to get attention as she should. Going to the apartment is a giant step. What is next after that?
You have our prayers for Hannah's continued progress.

Now that the threat of hurricanes are hopefully behind us, and that You Kippur is long past, we have the joyful holiday of Succoth and the wonderful news that the Stimell family is reunited in their temporary new home "The Ronald McDonald House." That is the very best news! Little Miss Hannah is some strong, feisty little cutie pie...G-d bless her. This is a giant step for your family. Just remember all the challenges you meet each new day make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew. You both are wonderful parents and an inspiration to all! Scott...I never knew you had a voice???!!!

Herzog again.....You haven't updated you public and we await to hear any news. I hope Hannah continues to do well and that hopefully your in the Ronald Mcdonald house for wayward parents and beautiful children. Not much more to report on except for the past 24 hours or so, NY has had terrential rains from I believe Jean. I lost track of the Hurricaines. I apologize for those who keep track of those things. I continue to hold all three of you in my prayers and hopefully everything is continuing on the path to bring you home. I believe once you get back to Long Island, your lives will return to normal (an expression I don't really understand), and your routines will change and adapt. It's truly amazing what you, your mind and your body can get used to. Survivors, as I believe both you and Jill are, can adapt, change and overcome anything put in their way. Keep the Faith Love Joe

Dear Scott, Jill and Family,

I am following your daughter, Hannah's wonderful progress (May it Continue with G-d's help), and am amazed. I am not sure, though, what's more amazing - Hannah's wonderful progress, or the incredible support that you have as evidenced by the many, many entries on this website. And if anything can move mountains in the heaven's, it is, no doubt, the prayers of so many - I am honored to be counted among those praying for HaTinoket, Hannah Michal bas Gitel Malkah. May she continue to have a refuah shleimah.

(by the way, from the number of people signing your guestbook, I think you have a shot at swaying the presidential elections, even if you run on a "write in" basis)

Hi Scott and family, I wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and Hannah and sorry that you are all going through this difficult time. I spoke to Mindy last week here at columbia and am hopeful that things will coninue to move forward and well. I spent some time in synagogue this weekend thinking about you and hoping for good things. Scott, its been many years but I will always remember Tilting pinball machines in the catskills with you- but I definitely do not remember your being able to sing. Best wishes- Dan Hyman

Herzog again.............Hope all is well in Minn and hope this next day is a day closer to the day you go to Ronald's house. Soon after that you will come home and hopefully after a short period of time, life for the Stimell's will return to some semblance of order. I don't think either one of you will return to your old lifestyles, this experience will have had an edilible imprint on you. But I do hope that over a resonable amount of time, you can begin to look at life with a totally new viewpoint. I unfortunately can't help you with that viewpoint, for I, even though I would like to think I have progressed to the next level, still trod in the muck and myre of living, coping with headaches, responsiblities, and problems. I wish for the both of you to hang on to your new outlook of life as long as you can. I do believe the three of you will have a long life together. Looking forward to your next checkin. Love Joe

Grandpa & I are STILL hoping for a call back, as we're still awake.
Mindy,I so enjoyed the kids today.Haley asked if she could call me "aunt" and said "grandma" wasn't right for me.I'll take it!!

It's nice to know that Scott is still singing after all these years. I found a tape you recorded a long long time ago when I actually thought you may become famous. It's pretty funny. I am so happy that Hannah is enjoying your music. I hope you all have a restful night and that beautiful little Hannah goes "home" with her mommy and daddy tomorrow. It's 11:11 PM again...

Scott,
I stopped by your store today to get an update on Hannah, and Brian gave me this web site to send you a message. I just wanted to let you know that you, Jill, and of course Hannah, are in our thoughts and prayers. The pictures you have on this site of Hannah are great. She is sooo cute, and obviously one tough little cookie. I hope to see you soon.

Dear Scott, Jill and Hannah, Hope you are at the Ronald McDonald house. I was glad to hear of the possiblity of you moving there. Scott , they do say "Daddys little girl" for a reason. From here on in she will have you wrapped around her finger. Glad to hear of Hannahs progress. Keep it up, we are all cheering for you! Best regards and wishes! Michelle

Dear Scott & Jill,
I enjoyed your recent journal entry, particularly the end, where you Mom walks in and Hannah quiets down. She's very lucky to have Fredda as a Grandma. I have very fond memories of sleeping over at your house when I was growing up, and your Mom always made me feel special. I have another song suggestion for Hannah if she likes the harmonies of Peter, Paul & Mary. When my children were little we always sang Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young's "Our House" (I light the fire, You place the flowers in the vase that you bought today...) for a lullaby instead of the traditional "Rock-a-bye Baby". Try it out if your looking for some new, old music and let me know the results. I'm hoping you all have an easy transition to the Ronald McDonald House.
Love, Margot

Dear Jill & Scott,
I'm sure this weekend's notes to you slowed down as always on the weekends, but this weekend you can be sure that many of us were praying for Hannah during our hours in synagogue. You and she were my main topic of conversation with God. When my daughter was little (a very long time ago), her lullaby of choice was Leaving on a Jet Plane. I agree, Peter, Paul and Mary are very soothing. The prospect of taking Hannah out of the hospital must be overwhelming, but I know you'll do a great job with her at Ronald McDonald House, just as you've been doing all along. You two are remarkable.

My friends - both of you are truly amazing and an inspiration to all. Hannah is just the sweetest most precious little thing - it was wonderful to see her smiling so much! Scott's singing really does grow on you and you find yourself following suit. I hate to admit it but he does have a really good voice. We also managed to add the Partridge Family greatest hits to his collection and mine (thanks Fredda). Believe it or not most of these people in MN had never heard of the Partridge Family - boy are we getting old. Seriously - you guys are truly special people which I've known all along but it's continuously confirmed. Your family is generous and compassionate and just an extension of both of you. Thank you for allowing me to part of your extended family. Best wishes to Hannah on her outing back to Ronald McDonald House. Hoping the transition is an easy one and I'm glad you have Mindy there to help!!! Stay strong for each other.
I love you all very much!

Take care, and know that your spirits have touched so many lives, including mine!

Herzog again..........Good to hear your spoken word Scott. It really does sound like you. Sorry your night's with Hannah are not as relaxing as they could be. It truly is amazing that all little girls, all little girls know exactly how to manipulate and control and dangle their fathers. Alexis, and for that matter, Adam also, never let me leave their room at night until they were fast asleep. A sixth sense I believe. But in reality, I think I enjoyed the time with them more than they did with me. Cherish these moments Scott, for whatever happens, they are lost forever sooner than you want them to be, and you have to hold on to them in your head. I forget those times too often for my own good, but when I remember, the emotions that come over me suurond me in a warm blanket and make me feel warm and cozy, and full of the security that I guess our kids feel when their in our arms. I hope the Desiten helped Hannah's diaper rash. If you did in fact have the nurses take care of the situation, please do yourselves a favor and purchase some before you take Hannah home, of the the Ronald House. One case of diarhea, and her bottom will be sore and you wish you had some. To make your lives easy, preparedness is the key to taking care of kids. That is the operative word. Be Prepared. Again, I am sure that both you and Jill will do fine. Remember, Hannah knows you and knowing that you are always around is all the security she will need to be happy. The both of you have done an amazing job considering, well, the entire situation. If nobody has told you that today, let me be the first. You two are amazing people and I'm glad I met you both. The expression born with a silver spoon comes to mind, Hannah is lucky she belongs to the both of you. It's all in a book somewhere, and this all has some cosmic plan, which I have mentioned before, smarter people than me knows what that plan is, but rest assured, your reactions to the situations and problems that have occurred are commendable beyond words. Hannah's pics are so cute. It's understandable how she can have the both of you in her palms. Stay well and strong, will check in again tomorrow. LOve JOe

Although we've only met once or twice at Janice and Emilio's when they lived in Long Beach, I have come to know you and your family through this website...........wonderful news that you can take Hannah "home" to the Ronald McDonald House with you, possibly today. With Mindy there you won't be as nervous and you'll see, the two of you will do fine and Hannah will enjoy being with everyone too.
Time to go shopping!......for some cozy clothes to keep Hannah warm for her outtings to the clinic........I'm sure that it's starting to get cooler in Minn. too.

Be confident, you're doing great! All the best to you everyday!

Herzog again...........Read your last entry. You haven't been timely with these updates. You got something to do in Minn.?????? Sorry that Hannah felt a little uncomfortable with her feeding tube. I get like that after a big meal also. Too bad I can't turn off the desire to still gorge myself. I'm glad the Md's are contemplating some time next week to release Hannah in your care. Sounds like a giant step as opposed to a baby step. The both of you will do fine. Rest assured that if by chance you do anything wrong, Hannah will tell you immediately in her own cute and adorable way. My heart still goes out for you both, as almost every entry appears to. You truly are two amazing people, and you both should know this. In later years, the both of you will be able to deal with just about anything that is sprung upon you by life. So many of us go on our merry way, and when tradegy stikes, literally fall apart, can't deal and sometimes do something that is irreversible. The both of you on the other hand will do whatever it takes to stay the course (together). Not every one in this life is lucky enough to share their lives with someone who is on the same page. The both of you have appeared to have found that one. Did you place an ad, get set up then took a special blood test, or are just lucky??Well, be happy, stay happy, healthy and strong, if not for you, for Hannah, who I really believe knows what's going on and one day will thank you properly, other than her cute smile which for now I'm sure is quite enough. Love Joe

I hope she continues to improve, as slow as you may feel she is improving, she still is improving. "Baby steps" I believe is the expression. I'm sure you know this Scott, but the Yankees won last night, 5.5 games up, 4 is the magic number, and another come from behind win. After a dismal week or two, the Yankees have been playing good ball. Well, no entry today from you, so I will assume all is going well and everyone has survived another day of the war.

Herzog again..........Another Holiday, another storm in the South. Someone, somewhere is testing the people on the South. You want sunny, warm, relaxing beach and golf whether, it's time to pay your dues. I hope no one gets hurt more than they already have been. Scott, remember what you had said to me about a week after you trecked to Minn.? Joe, I really now know what's important. After learning what Hannah has and now deciding on the course to take, eveything else is bullshit.Unfortunately Scott, so many of us really do know this; I try on a daily basis to be grateful for what I have and for what I have earned, other than the materialistic need and desires, my family is happy and all in good health,(except me of course).But also on a daily basis, I invariably get caught up in my daily routine of work and dealing with the trials of survivng and dealing. If you can truly know what's important in life and live your life in that way, you will be a much happier person, and so will the people around you. Scott, continue to believe and stay in the moment. Continue to know how important it is to realize that all we have is eachother, eveything else is just dressing. My son can't wait till next week, when hopefully the temps will stay cool on a more consistent basis. (Tired of the summer and looking forward to the change). A typical New Yorker. I imagine in Minn. you will probably get snow next week. Being a matzah ball Jew, it's easy to atone for my sins. A scary thought is having to deal with them. Scott and Jill, don't ever worry about atoning for your sins, over the past months you have built up credits in the big book enough to carry you the rest of your lives. Hannah is sitting there reading about you and she has this rather smirky, wry and satisfied look on her face, as she recalls how the two of you took her through hell and back. Be proud of yourselves. Love you and will check in tomorrow. Joe

Dearest cousins,

Love that Herzog. "Even if us mortals, don't know exactly what that reason is. I for many years thought I had the answer for everything, but as the years have passed, I have come to realize that I in fact don't know anything about anything, and that we should all try to enjoy eachother for any amount of time we have. Ther's a profundity in there somewhere."

Stickey, gooey, white cream STAINING birds eye cotton diapers like crazy, DESITIN. Also smells like codfish liver oil, but to paraphase herzog, it works overnight.

Rubensteins are fine. Last week's torrential flood covered my pansies with a very fine silt, and I feel like taking a wash cloth to clean off their sweet little faces.

Speaking of sweet, your daughter has definite star diva quality, and is entitled to have her way once in a while.

Brooklyn home up-date. Our apt. is in a building almost 100 years old. We are very happy here, but the plumbing leaves a lot to be desired. As luck would have it, we are expecting a large bunch of shule friends over to break fast, this coming Saturday night. Late yesterday, the sink in the bath room sprung a major pipe crack and leak. And this is a holiday when one has a great break fast meal, then one wishes to .... Anyone know a good plumber who works on a late Friday afternoon? Allen Ira says, piece of cake, he will fix it. I'm remembering the collapse of our sukkah, with promises of "It can endure any weather."

Time to do a bit more work, but wanted to wish you again a sweet, healthy and happy New Year, and an easy and meaningful fast.

Love, Carole Toby

Herzog again.......Sorry for the rash on Hannah's (I'll take your word that its cute) bottom. What worked for Faith and I with both Our kids other that the warm baths that they truly loved was the white stickey cream stuff, I don't remember the name, but any druggist will. It works miracles in less tham a day. Bobbi B....I will bash Scott as often as I like,, for I truly love him, and his behavior lends itself to be bashed. Another week has passed, and everyone moves closer to the day when Hannah will come home. Scott, a best seller would be of the emotional rollercaster you had to endure to assure that Hannah would get the best care possible. But, her best care possible was you and Jill. The both of you are the epitome of effectiveness, compassion, strength, heart and soul. It's been said before, but Hannah was lucky to be born into your family, and the both of you were lucky to give birth to Hannah. There is a reason for everything. Even if us mortals, don't know exactly what that reason is. I for many years thought I had the answer for everything, but as the years have passed, I have come to realize that I in fact don't know anything about anything, and that we should all try to enjoy eachother for any amount of time we have. Ther's a profundity in there somewhere. Love you guys, Joe

I met Hannah's father tonight at dinner and what a proud father he is of a precious little girl. He spoke of the courage he and his wife need to support EACH DAY, taking ONE DAY AT A TIME, to share with their little Hannah. And the importance of all the love that can be given to her at this time to encourage her strength and her little body to fight this cancer. We will place her on the prayer chain within our community at St. Catherine's Church, and a prayer for the two of you(one that I put on my refrig and on the bathroom mirror and read so many times throughout the day to remind me that God was/is with me in good times and in difficult times-like the one's you are facing today.)
"May the Light of God Surround You
May the Love of God Enfold You
May the Power of God Protect You
May the Presence of God Watch Over You
and Wherever you are, know that
GOD IS and ALL WILL BE WELL."

God speed!! (Ride tide, and hang on tight!....)

Hi Scott, Jill, Hannah, Corie, Eric and Mom,
What a great group you have there! It sounds like things are getting a little better everyday. The tube falling out is par for the course and not a biggie to put back in. Keep offering the food and if she is really a Stimell she will learn to take it in no time. All is well here as we get ready for Yom Kippur. I made my famous brisket and will shlep it with me on Sun Country on Sunday. Boy, that airline has learned a lot about the NY culinary scene between all your friends and family. Be good.
Love you

To Freda, Scott, Jill & Hannah, My heartfelt wishes for a complete & speedy remission. I was quite taken aback when Scott called me on a completely unrelated matter to learn of this dreaded disease. Hopefully you will be able to have some respite shortly, Hannah needs you all to stay well.

Hi Scott,Jill & Hannah,
Shalom!
I just want to let you know that I will think of you during Yom Kipper since I will be in Istanbul tomorrow morning from Tel-Aviv but I will be back to Tel-Aviv next week for few days before coming home in USA next month.
I am sure that your Princess Hannah would be fine since she is a good fighter since she does not give up.
Stay well and be safe....
Shalom,

Dear Scott, Jill and everyone who helps to take care of Hannah. It is said that the 10 days between Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur are really special Holy days. Here is a Psalm by Debbie Perlman that I thought was really powerful and appropriate for you. It is called: FOR THE CAREGIVERS.

Show me how to offer hope. Open your hand with the colors of faith that I might begin to fill in the space's to strengthen another's life.

Show me how to offer comfort. Point out your nesting place, feathered against the adversitites that wound those I love.

Show me the direction when I am lost, searching to help but finding no paths.

Show me tolerance, when I weary of helping, and a long dreary day stretches toward a restless night.

You place before us life and love; show us endurance. You place before us healing and hope; Show us persistance.

Reach deep within me, Eternal Strength, and bring my strength to consciousness. Pull it around us: Let it radiate with your power, let it guide our way.

L'shana Tova! May the year ahead be blessed with good health, happiness, peace and good fortune. We love you

Herzog again........Read the last entry and it seems Hannah and yourselves are doing fine. The fact the the pressure is getting back to normal, and even though I'm not an MD, that has to be a good sign, coupled with the fact that Hannah is in good spirits. Banging two cups together, give her two tamborines, I bet that will be a huge hit in the hospital. I really am glad things appear to be taking a turn for the better. What an uplifting emotional ride I hope this begins. The both of you and Hannah should be given awards for the performances of a lifetime. As a matter of fact, all should be given awards for spending close contact with Scott for an extended period of time. I can't even imagine. Well guys, I will continue to check in, but its hard for me to put into words how I feel that hopefully Hannah will continue to improve. I won't even presume to know how you must feel. God Bless the both of you.Love Joe

Just a quick check to see how you all are doing. Everytime I log on to check on Hannah, I stop and admire the strength I am reading about. I just thought to myself, Hannah is truly supposed to be with such a dedicated loving family (including friends). In my youth, I did volunteer work with the children at Sloan Kettering. You would not believe how many kids were so completely alone. Of course, Hannah is literally never alone. This is a true testament of love and dedication, that is more rare than one would think. Much prayer and love.

Dear Scott, Jill and Hannah:

Sometimes in life with work and all the trivial things that occupy one's daily life you lose track of friends for long periods of time. I must say that on Sunday when I decided to "look you up" and place a long-overdue call to you I was shocked to learn what your family has been going through! I also must say that after speaking with Scott today and reading the journal entries, I am warmed and amazed at the love and dedication that this family has for their daughter and the incredible inspiration that Hannah's fighting spirit has been to all who come in contact with her and read about her difficult struggle. Scott, as your friend I am proud of how you have grown as a human being. You and I love to play with bats, balls, cards and other stuff that us big kids play with. But when it comes to our loved ones in need, it's real life and not a game. Keep the faith and know that you, Jill and Hannah will be in our prayers. As the father of three small children, your undying love and dedication to your daughter is an inspiration to me to appreciate the day to day joys of being a parent and loving our kids. I will check in frequently and know that you always have a friend who cares and is there for you and your family! With all our love and best wishes, Ed, Nicole, Andrew, Matthew and Naomi!

Herzog again.........Fall is around the corner, and today will hit 80 degrees, my son is very much looking forward to the fall. A typical New Yorker, can't please him with anything, and always looking forward to the change in seasons. This is the time of year I enjoy the best. Cooler whether sets in, and leaves fall off and then start another season. Scott, another fall for you and Jill, and I truly believe that this year will be the brightest year the two of you will ever have together. I know you are wishing that it was all over and that you were back in New York, but, as strange as this next statement may seem, try to enjoy all this time with Hannah now, this IS all happening for a reason, even though we have no idea today what that reason is. In time, everything has a way of unfolding and the light will click on. I read some of the entries from your friends, family and acquaintences, and as happened before, I became emotional at the thought of the amount of people that are interested, and truly care about you and Hannah. God Bless You. Stay well and strong, and stay the course. You should be very proud of yourselves, and of Hannah, as most kids are resiliant, I believe Hannah is special, and at some point knows whats happening. When she recovers, she will be that much stronger knowing that her security blankets were with her throughout this rather strange and bizarre ordeal. LOve Joe

Interesting conversation this morning. It makes you wonder what other miracles took place in that special hospital room. That room has good karma. It was wonderful to hear your voice in a good, optimistic and positive mood today. I hope that Hannah did well with her OT or PT - you throw so many initials out at me every time I speak with you - you either sound like a bona fide MD or a ref at some sporting event...Please tell Freda happy new year and all good things....

You know, here I thought you did not have that warm fuzzy feeling inside for me. I think maybe I should reconsider and come in while your in Minnesota so we can have a second date at the Fairview. This time I'll bring you back a real dinner not a fried twinkie.

Just finished on the phone with Scotty. So say hello to Fredda, and tell her thanks for the Happy New Year wishes.
I will ,if this diabetic can fast, be blowing the shofar for the end of Yom Kippur at my temple. I just did a hebrew school program Sunday for my temple and had a group come in and help the children (50 kids) make thier own shofars by themselves with a little assistance drilling the holes. It was both educational and the kids just loved it. You would have appreciated it Scott. 50 kids and me making shofars, drilling, sawing, sanding, polyuerathaning and just having a great time. You and I need to open a summer camp. Anyway good to here Hannah is reponsive to stimuli and say a big hello to Jill.

Herzog again.......Great news that Hannah is doing as well as she is. I expected nothing less. I told you having your daughter in arms would do the trick. I carried both my kids around the house almost for the entire first year whenever Faith wanted to put them to sleep. I'm sure you are doing great, as a matter of fact, when you get back to NY, you can carry me around as I haven't been sleeping well. Getting your daughter's blood work and pressure under control I'm sure was and has been waiting on your minds for a long time, hopefully the both of you can now concentrate on happier moments with Hannah. She sounds like a diamond in the rough, and continues to remain strong despite all the prodding and pulling by everyone on her. An amazing child. Again, I continue to wish you and Jill all good things and that each day brings you closer to returning home to Long Island. Remain strong and believe that all good things come to those who pray. I am praying for you. Love Joe

We're so glad to see more pictures of her on your site. She really is a beautiful little girl.

Dearest Jill, Scott and Princess Hannah -
I love the new pictures - glad you updated them (or was it Aunt Susie and Uncle David?). I am also happy for you that you had more family with you during Rosh Hashanah. Although I didn't have access to a computer over the past couple days -I have been thinking about you all non-stop and I must tell you - the prayers that I said this Rosh Hashanah were said with much more ("kavanah" - you like how I pulled that one out Jill??) than in past years. I love you guys and wish Hannah a comfortable day - and a day with improvement.

Scott, Jill and Hannah:

We were thinking of you all over the holidays, and said a special prayer for Hannah. Scott, my son Adam still talks about the time you gave him all those baseball cards at the store, and we can't tell you how happy that made him. We hope Hannah can have some joy soon, and we are all pulling for her.

With love,

Gwen, David, Paige and Adam

Hi everybody! Great news about Hannah and great new photos too!
She is truly a special little girl. It is so nice to read that you have such a great support group out there in MN where so many volunteers who have met you and in return you have touched their lives too, have offered meals at their homes to you. Hannah and Jill and Scott are such great inspirations to so many people who have followed their story! I also read all the journal entries each week and it is so nice to have these updates and a place where we can send you our thoughts and prayers.
This is such good news that Hannah is feeling better and may soon be able to join in at the Ronald McDonald House. The road to recovery is truly beginning and is truly a miracle! Keep the faith!

Herzog again......Sorry for the late entry today. Read the entry and am glad that Hannah continues to improve, her intravenous, her pressure and her sleeping some if not all the nights. My kids loved music also. They went to bed every single night listening to the same music, the trick being finding the music that does the trick. Scott, the Yankees took 2 out of three, and almost all three. Boston, where is that city. I don't know when the last day of summer was, but today was definately the first day of fall. About 50 to 60 degrees and blustery. It truly was a beautiful day in New York. I hope the both of you are not too scared about taking Hannah back to the Hotel. You'll do fine. Again, the current pics of Hannah are simply put, worth 1,000 words. She can take your breath away. I hope the both of you have a good night sleep and I will check in tomorrow afternoon when I get into the office. I hope the days are not as repetitive as they once were. Even though spending time with Hannah can not be replaced by anything I can think of, I'm sure spending time with her in more comforting surrondings will be infinately more pleasing to everyone. Love Joe

We think that it is OK for Scott to enter whatever he feels in the journal - good bad or indifferent - we're here for the ride with all of you and sometimes we need to know when it is bumpy so that we can provide a cushion whenever we can. You all are so brave and I'm sure soooo tired to continue with this journey but you continue on every day. Know that your friends and family are with you - hoping and praying every day for small miracles - to help you through.
On a real world note - the Yankees beat the socks and take the series - which is what Jack focuses on whenever he can. Even though the socks looked hot and the Yankees not - they seem to always pull through. Maybe Hannah will be like the Yankees - our 'Boys of October'. Elizebeth calls them the ainkees!
As always - you are in our hearts and our prayers. Know that we are with you whenever you need us. Love,

Dear Scott, Jill & Hannah,
I just finished reading through many of the Journal entries. It is so difficult to read -- I can't imagine how difficult it is to live through this. Please know that you all are in my thoughts and prayers. Hannah is lucky to have such devoted family and friends, and you are all lucky to have such a strong and beautiful baby girl. I wish only the best for you all. I wish my words could do more -- I feel so helpless; I am sure you know that feeling. Hang in there, and good luck. I'll keep thinking and praying for you. Let me know if there is something else I can do to help you.

Dear Scott and family,
I am one of the five people who met you this morning while serving brunch at the Ronald McDonald house. I wanted you to know that you and your story of your beautiful daughter, Hannah, have touched my life in a very special way. We tend to take so much for granted in life, and meeting you this morning (and several others) brought life's reality so much closer to me. I thank you for sharing your story with us...it really made a simple gesture of serving food into so much more. Please know that Hannah is in my thoughts and prayers, and I wish you and your family some rest, and peace.

Dear Scott,
I also met you this morning while serving brunch at the Ronald McDonald House. You're right- Hannah is absolutely beautiful. It's no wonder she's touched the hearts of so many people. Hannah story is so frightening but the obvious love that you and your wife have for that little baby is so apparent. I shared your story with my husband and together we hope that Hannah receives the miracle you all deserve. On a different note, we would like to invite you and Jill to our home for a lunch, dinner or whatever. I know you don't like to leave Hannah's side but if there's a moment when you need a break, please know there are families here in Minnesota who are willing to help.

Your family is in our thoughts. Best of luck to you all.

I was so touched talking to with you about what you, your wife and wonderful Hannah are going through. I read through all the journal entries and will continue to read them throughout your stay here in Minneapolis. Every child is a miracle and I will hope and pray every day that your Hannah will pull through this nightmare. Also, if you need anything, I would be happy to help out with whatever. Just email me and let me know. Your family is in my thoughts. L'Shana Tovah.

Dearest cousins,

Nice, nice news from Minnesota.

Centerport has some news to report. The monsoon hit Saturday morning, and our backyard was flooded-over 12" deep, with 2 1/2 " of rain in an hour. Trying to get ahead, I had Allen Ira put up the sukkah last week-only to have it toppled this Saturday in the inclement weather; and our street, Washington Drive which is at the bottom of a long hill, I believe every piece of gravel, and 1" stones, and SAND stopped in front of our driveway, and even meandered down our drive, blocking the drainage grate, and so, our garage floor was totally immersed with flood water, and with bird seed everywhere. This does not happen in Brooklyn.

So who can complain. You just leave the garage doors open, and today in the sunshine, every squirrel and related rodent, and birds are feasting.

We trust you are having a good weekend, and Hannah is more and more comfortable.

Love and kisses, Carole Toby

Hi all
It's a blustery fall-like day here in NY and the Rauchs are busy cuddling under the new down comforter we bought yesterday. We will bring our former one to you guys next week - it has had a lot of great cuddling and so has a lot of love and good karma from us. I hope it stays relatively warm there until the comforter gets there. All is calm here - Haley in hebrew school and Brian is off to see the Lion King with his friend's family who got 6th row tickets last week and have an extra ticket - it's nice to have good friends. Piano in the city this afternoon and we will pick up our new chandelier - hopefully we don't have anymore candlestick explosions. I am telling you that was so unbelievable - it was definitely daddy looking over us. Pay close attention and you will notice the lights going on and off at important times. It's good to have someone looking out for you - that's how miracles happen. Can't wait to see you guys next week. Think of anything else you need me to bring.
Love you
Mindy, Dan, Haley and Brian

It's good to see Hannah smiling; I think she resembles Jill at that age. She's a beauty - just remember to keep that baseball bat near the door when the young men come calling. You are so lucky to have so much family support to help you get through this horrible time. My love to all of you and best wishes for a happy and healthy new year.

Herzog again......I hope that all is going as well as one can expect it to go. I also hope that Scott and Jill are taking care of themselves, or they will be of no use to anyone, either to Hannah or to themselves. From your last entry, Hannah is still getting better, but I guess everyone would like the process to be quicker. Scott, you knew that this was going to be a long battle at the beginning, so...........a day at a time, there's a statement you have probably heard 1,000,000 times since you have been in Minn. I truly hope the New Year brings you the happiness you and Jill and Hannah deserve. We finally got the rains from Ivan today, it's hard for me to imagine the destruction in the south. Well, be happy, stay strong and committed, and know everyone is still thinking about you and your lovely daughter. Love Joe

My thoughts and prayers were with you and Hannah all of Rosh Hashonah services.I prayed for strength for the two of you to comfort Hannah and for each other.Jim and I are in Santa Fe for the week and we really love it here. Joanie is happily pregnant and Harley is very excited.The service at her Synagogue was especially wonderful and joyous.Two guitars certainly set the mood for joyful worship. Jim chanted the Haftorah as he has done for the past 26 years. I am very proud of him. I hope you have a more peaceful night. Betsy

Dearest cousins,

Scott-yashar koach. I am an early riser (clearing up all the left-over dishes, and tasks from yesterday) and just went to Hannah's home page. My rule of thumb-everything adjusts in 48 hours or less, and so I believe Hannah will feel a lot better by this evening.

Our rabbi spoke of the need to be caring for all, using the term mutli-diversity, which includes all kinds of people with all kinds of problems. So,another 500 or so Brooklynites said a special prayer for one in need.

And is anyone really watching? I wrote that Sam turned down great tix to a great ballgame, and just as the game would have started, we were in shule and the torrent of rain followed, ending only when it was time to head home and have dinner.

With our love and encouragement. Carole Toby

Well we got in a full day in synagogue today- there was a lot to pray for and a lot to be thankful for. Hannah looks so very beautiful in those pictures. Her sweet spirit comes through loud and clear. It is a miracle that she has come this far. When things seem so difficult remember back a month and think about how far you have come. In a month from now you will look back on this and not believe how much better things are. Day by day - be strong, get rest and take a little time for yourselves- that's the only way you will recharge those batteries of yours.
Our rabbi's sermon today was on perspective. You certainly have gotten your dose of perspective. I hope everyone who is reading this journal lives their lives a little differently after knowing you and sharing in your plight. This year will be a good year for our family. Eat something sweet and kiss Hannah for us.
We love you

Herzog again.........Scott and Jill, I hope all continues to progress as well as they have, barring the bumps in the road. I was not aware till yesterday that Hannah had to stay in Minn. untill three months have passed in time from the day of her transplant. I hope that she can be remitted to your care in the Ronald Mcdonald house asap so as to give you practice near your support group from the hospital just in case. This will also boost your confidence that you in fact will be able to take care of all of Hannah's need. There is never any doubt in my mind that you guys will do well. Afterall, and I say this from the bottom of my heart, you have redefined in my mind what the term survivors mean. During this time of year in our religion, when happiness and thankfulness should be abundant, I wish for you all that life has to offer with Hannah. Stay strong and continue to do what has probably become somewhat of a routine. I'm taking Brian to IRS on Monday, and then I'll drop by the store. All my love Joe

Stacey here again (corie and eric's friend) Just wanted to wish you all a very happy and healthy new year... I feel in my heart that this new year will bring only better things... Hannah is a fighter and she will continue to fight this thing until it goes far far away. Corie cannot wait to visit and I can't wait to see her update in the journal... I feel my day is not complete until i check your website to get a hannah update. keep them coming and stay strong and well for your beautiful baby girl.

happy new year to all of you.

it was so good to hear both of your voices last night. as well as hannah in the background. hopefully the new medicine will help witht he blood presure. i bet hannah will feel much more at ease once she is out of the hospital and into some kind of normal routine. the fact that it is even a possibility is good news. staci and carri both send their love and prayers. both called to check in on you today. my friend at work checks in once a week to see how you are doing. she has never met you but is a great person and very touched by hannah's fight.
hopefully, you can find some kind of resemblance of a rashannah- i am sure i spelled this wrong- dinner in minn.
can't wait to see you in oct.
as always, you are in my prayers tonight,
sending a hug,

A special Shana Tova wish to you, sweet baby Hannah and your incredible parents. Our prayers are with you everyday. We will be thinking of you and saying your name in synagogue in Montreal, where we'll be for Rosh Hashanah. As your mommy knows, it took four long and difficult years for us to conceive our two babies, Noa and Daniel. I believe with all my heart that the same kind and benevolent God who answered our prayers will answer yours as well. I will be in Minneapolis on business on
October 5 and can't wait to meet you.

Herzog again.......Glad to hear that your favorite nurse is on duty, every little bit.....Coming home at this point I know seems scary, but the both of you will be able to do all that is necessary to keep Hannah on her path, and to keep her happy. I'm sure the both of you have realized by now that your needs are not that important in the scheme of what has to be done. But what is important, your needs must be met also or you won't be able to do what is necessary for Hannah. An age old problem, but, with your support network, and the strength that you are revealed to the world, no problem is too great for the Stimell's. I am making light of the situation, but I'm sure that you will be able to do everything. Over the last week, even though some bumps, Hannah appears to be accepting her lot better, and her overall negative symptoms seem less severe. I hope this is not my imagination, but in fact the truth. It's hard to write you updates on a daily basis without repeating myself, but Scott and Jill, your doing great. Hannah, even though can't say it aloud, loves you for it and appreciates all that you're doing. May the entire family, have a healthy New Year, as we have alot to be thankful for. Without specifically listing the obvious, Hannah is grateful for the both of you, and I'm proud to consider you my friend. Love Joe Herzog

Dearest Cousins,

My chickens are in the oven, rome apples and yams on line to be baked, New York Times (recipe guaranteed) plum torte on deck, kasha varniskas standing by (will try to get some to Scott), sour pickles for the serious vegon, etc.

While I am mincing and chopping, my thoughts are on you. Our family wishes you a very special sweet, happy and healthy New Year. Sam realized he had to give up the great tix to some ball game tonight to be with us.

My hope and wish and plan is for all the cousins (we span four generations)to be together at one big table and relish a beautiful sunny day, enjoying and sharing each others best moments...

I just wanted to wish you all a Happy New Year! I wish Hannah all the sweetness for the new year! I baked an apple pie to bring over to Mike's parents house. (trying to be a good daughter-in-law). Mike's parents live in NJ, so we rented a car to make the commute faster and easier. I am planning on printing my own tickets and charging his two brothers for the ride.

We are looking forward to hearing good news from you!

As I get my table ready for tomorrow night's dinner and plan my famous brisket I feel an emptiness - you guys all the way in Minnesotta. Who will critique my dinner - for good or for bad. I will have no one to count on for the blatant honesty that you are so well known for. You will be sorely missed but not forgotten - I promise we will be keeping the three of you in our prayers and wish you a peaceful, good year with renewed health and faith. We will plan to be together next year and hope Hannah will be critiquing my brisket. Love you ,

i just got off the phone with scott. it was so good to talk to him and find out what hannahs status is. i am so encouraged by the news of the enzyme found in hannahs system and i will continue to pray that it finds its way into her brain. i wish there were something more i could do but the prayers will continue. i have gained a greater respect for both scott and jill and hannah for just being able to deal with this whole ordeal. it has made me think about the little things that bother me now and then and makes me realize that it cant be all that bad. it sounds like they are surrounded by quality people who are trying to make this whole process somewhat dealable.. all i can say is i think about you guys every day and something miraculous will come out of this. god has a funny way of testing people, and i know this firsthand. so stay srong and in the words of jimmy v.....DONT GIVE UP, DONT EVER GIVE UP! i love you guys.

Herzog again.........I spoke to Scott last evening, and although tired and emotionally and physically drained from this bizarre ordeal, both he and Jill remained resolved in their quest to come home with Hannah, as soon as possible. In our conversation, we spoke about how time has stopped for the Stimell's. It has lost it's contemporary meaning, there are no mornings, afternoons or evenings, just taking care of Hannah and trying to rest. All who know you should be very proud of the both of you, especially Hannah, who at some point in time in the future, will thank you appropriately. I'm sorry I had to rush off the phone Scott and 6:45 last evening, but another late client for 9/15 showed up. Service industries are tough. I hope last evening the both of you had some rest and that Hannah had a better evening than she has been having. When you're in charge at night Scott, walk around with Hannah on your shoulders, she will feel comforted, and so will you. All my love, till tomorrow. Joe

Scott - maybe it is the pain meds giving her a tummy ache - they tend to constipate. Poor baby - it could be any one of the things that they are giving her - plus - I'll bet she doesn't even feel hungry with all those pills. We pray as a family for her and all of you there every night. I check during the day too. Jack came out (in between innings - you know the Yankees are playing - he wants to know why they can't beat the shix teams) to see how you were doing too. When Elizabeth was just a little younger than Hannah, we went through a patch when she would have her "time" - between 11 pm and 4 am - and the only thing that would calm her was walking and singing "itsy bitsy spider" - for 5 hours in the middle of the night - I hate spiders now! Hopefully you will hit on something that will calm her. Try to remain calm yourself - it will help her. I know it is hard - sometimes I would cry right along with her. Sometimes I cry right along with you too. You are in our hearts and prayers. love always, Angela, Jack, Bernadette and Itsy bitsy Elizabeth

Rochester, NY USA - Monday, September 13, 2004 9:40 PM CDT

I remember how much it meant to me to get mail and calls when i was very ill, to know that people cared. But, I also remember that when it came to the real nitty gritty of my illness, and how I had to deal with the day to day of it all, and the long nights, I had to basically rely on myself, and my husband.

So, I guess what I hope for you is that your wonderful family and friends keep the visits coming so that you both can get breaks, sleep, eat, etc...I wish that I could personally come and try to comfort Hannah, make you a healthy dinner, and do a few errands for you, just to make your days a tiny bit easier.

You guys have to endure so much each day. I feel so blessed to have two healthy children, and just hope and pray that you both can get some relief and good news in the new year.

YOU ARE IN OUR PRAYERS AND THOUGHTS,
LOVE MARTY AND BOBBIE GOLDSTEIN

My Dearest Jill, Scott and Hannah,

It is an amazing thing. Although I follow Hannah's plight daily - both via the web and telephone updates - one really cannot understand how strong and how much it REALLY takes to do what you two are doing - until you actually witness it firsthand. There are no days. There are no nights. There is no time. It moves so fast - and yet, it really does stand still. Hospital shifts change - different doctors and nurses come in. You have to recall whether Hannah was crying or moaning - happy or comfortable – and you are not sure if it happened in the morning or the early afternoon - because again, time stands still. The energy that you both need to have to handle shifts at the hospital is immense. The sheer exhaustion you two face every day is beyond gutt-wrenching. All this because the love that you two have for this unbelievably special little girl is going to get her through this fight. I apologize for reflecting in this very public journal but this past weekend touched me forever and many things struck me very deep. On Saturday, when Hannah was uncomfortable and crying for hours and hours - everyone was trying to figure out what was wrong with her – perhaps it was her blood pressure, steroids, fluid in lungs, etc. And Jen, one of the wonderful nurses, suggested that we check her diaper. It occurred to me - there are so many "big pictures" to look for regarding Hannah that when I sat there - I forgot to think about a wet diaper - or maybe teething (she's 8 months??). As we all know, her discomfort is due to many more serious issues than that. As a parent, how lucky was I to only think about diapers and perhaps a cold and teething. I always knew how lucky I was – but I have learned that so many things are so very unimportant. The old adage – as long as you have your health – and the other – be grateful for what you have – two lessons that were reiterated this past weekend. You two are Hannah's angels. Someone once told me that they believed that children actually "choose" their parents. That children's souls fly around in heaven (so to speak) until they choose the two people that they want to raise them. I think that Hannah chose you two because she knew that she was going to need the strength, love and patience of you both. I am so proud of you - you inspire me - more than words can ever express in a journal. I lay in bed last night - thinking of you both - wondering if Hannah was awake or sleeping. Wondering who was on night duty. I wondered if Hannah was content - if she had eaten. We all love our children and would do ANYTHING we could for them - but, actually seeing with my own eyes what you two do for Hannah - this journal and your entries - and even any of your friends and family's descriptions of Hannah and her care – (those who have been privileged enough to see Jill and Scott in action) cannot begin to touch on what type of an ordeal this family is going through at this time.

Your strength, patience, wisdom, love and devotion overwhelm me - in every sense of the word. I think we all know what my wish is for your family this New Year. But, I will just write the perfunctory – Shanah Tovah to you both. Don't forget to eat a lot of honey for a sweet, sweet, year.

I love you both very much - and that beautiful little girl.
Raquel

Dear Jill and Scott:
The Giants looked like poo, poo. I think the rollercaster seems to be your ride of no choice. I know you're both frustrated, elated, disappointed, happy, sad all in the same day sometimes all in an hour. Hang tough and lean on each other, or at least let Scott lean on you Jill, he's definitely more needy than you. A baby at times, but one person that has a heart bigger than anyone I know. Take care of each other and a big kiss for Hannah.
Love you both,
Mark, Jody, Jenna & Nikki

Herzog again.....Sorry to check-in before your Monday morning entry, but today will be insane for me. I hope the both of you, and Hannah had a restful night's sleep last evening, and that this special week in our faith brings you happiness, contentment, a sense of serenity that comes with your realization that Hannah will get better, and a cheerful outlook upon each new day. Remember, your taking one day at a time. I truly can't imagine, but can only sympathize with you during this ordeal. I never personally was thrust into long hospital stays and long periods of hospital diplomacy and buracracy. My father, whom I was very close to has been gone for many years and passed on from a massive heart attack. No suffering. I understand the hospital has been very understanding of you and Hannah's needs and has been doing everything possible to fulfill them. My brother-in-law has informed me that the university of Minn. is one of the best around. I believe that's where Hannah is. Anyway, may this week bring you three nothing but continued improvement and a near to an end to this bizarre period in your lives. Again Scott, know that many people all around you are constantly thinking of both you, Jill and Hannah, and for the full recovery from her disease. Love Joe

Sounds like Hannah has had some "ups" and "downs" lately. Treasure the UP's - they will get you thur the downs. Hannah's fight is long but I have faith she'll come out a winner! Remember to take care of yourselves, too. Hannah needs you both healthy.

As always, you are in my thoughts and prayers -

So happy to share Hannah's improving condition. I can only speak from experience; when things look really bleak, stay positive. It wasn't that long ago when "they" tried to take me... I just wasn't ready to go. Now I lead a pretty normal life; no O2 alot less pills, all the golf that I wan't toplay and most importantly enjoy my beloved Sox kick

Herzog again..........Read your latest entry from Rachel, it appears your friends have as much reslove, compassion and strength as do the both of you. Jill, don't feel bad that Hannah seems to want to be picked up by Scott, all babies love to be picked up by their fathers, something to do with secuirty and smell. Each day I read your entry and check in, I find it incomprehensible that so much has happened over the past few months. Everyone's life can be associated with a rollercoaster, your journey of a ride having many ups, downs, curves, and straight-a-ways. What separates people in this life is how they take, endure, and survive the bumps and downs. Again, both you and Jill, and your family and friends should be so proud of yourselfs. Your closeness, warmth, caring and compassion you seem to have for eachother is something to be admired. As trite as this may sound, and as repetitive it is to write, one day at a time is currently a good way to live your lives. I continue to wish Hannah and the both of you painless days and nights, andd continues good results from all future tests that will allow Hannah to come home. Stay strong in your journey. Joe

northport, ny usa - Sunday, September 12, 2004 9:11 AM CDT

Dear Scott and Jill
There are no words to comfort you at a time like this other than there are many people out here praying for all of you. Hard to imagine how quickly life can change. As parents we believe we can protect our children. Unfortunately, as you have now experienced, that is not always the case. While we cannot guarantee our children's health, we can guarantee resolve to do whatever is humanly possible to help them. You are both a wonderful and powerful example of parents fighting the fight of their lives for Hannah. It is both tough and heartbreaking. It is hard to focus, stay strong and remain upbeat. This is all okay.....you are human and entitled to your emotions and feelings. Take one day at a time and keep motivated with your resolve. You are doing all you can possibly do for your daughter. As I had learned from when Alicia was on chemotherapy and radiation treatment, the doctors will take care of the medical care, it is up to us as parents to keep the psychosocial and emotional support as upbeat and positive as humanly possible.
God Bless you All!

Sorry to hear your little sweetheart has been so uncomfortable.

It would be so great to hear about her taking a small walk. Changes in scenery can work wonders. God bless!

Hey Guys
Just checking in. Sorry about my cell phone - I promise to upgrade the next chance I can. Things are relatively quiet here - no more broken bones for the moment, no mini friends, and no middle school calamities. We are awaiting mom's arrival to go to dinner for Haley's bday. We are going to the Bronx for Italian food where they make the best eggplant parm ( I'm sure Bettiann would disagree). I'm working tomorrow so you know how to get ahold of me.
As for the lines and the meds, it isn't rocket science - I promise. Hopefully Dave will be around the first few days you are discharged, but honestly, I have seen people with a lot less sechel than you guys manage it. We will be around for consults, even for the around the clock meds. And hopefully Hannah will start eating again and the TPN will be short lived. Anyway, you guys have done a lot more than this so far - just stay focused on the BIG picture. Let's get some enzyme into that cute little banana brain.
Love you

feldys checking in. sorry we didn't write yesterday. it was little mans 1st b'day. i definitly was disappointed to hear that hannah has been uncomfortable these last 2 days. it's so hard to find the right words to say to make you guys feel better and take her pain away. there are no words! but what i can say is that thank god things are temporary and that she is so young and won't remember anything. you guys being the parents that you are make it that much easier for her. scott, keep up that singing that you know comforts that beauty of yours (she won't realize how bad your voice is until she's older), :) just kidding, you have a wonderful voice! well maybe not but anyway, you guys are the best and we hope little girly girl is feeling ok since your last update. please write in the journal today so we all know her status. love you guys!

Herzog again.............Sept 15th is around the corner, why does eveyone wait to give their information to their accountants till the last minute (corporate), I guess its human nature with some people to wait till the last minute. It's also human nature to give alot of yourself at the beginning and then fade a little, sometimes fading alot. I promise I will try to continue to check in with you guys as long as I can. Spoke with a relative of yours last night, Carol Rubenstein, who called me with regard to my daily reports. I truly never believed that my checkins would be read by anyone other that you Scott. This site is truly a Godsend for everyone involved to reach out and touch eachother. I only wish I had the time to come to Minn and physically help. But alas, we all have our responsibilities, whether created by us, or thrust upon us by life. I unfortunaltely am checking in before your latest update again, I will try to hold out till later in the day in the future. I jope that Hannah is fairing well. It really pains me to imagine such a young thing suffering so much. Guareenteed, even though my wife may disagree with this next statement, Hannah, years from now will not remember everything she is enduring now. The great asset of time. Please stay strong and healthy you guys, Hannah is relying on you. Life truly is not fair, and sometimes very cruel. But, I continue to believe that all will be Okay and the three of you will be returning soon. One of my clients, who is a respected Md told me to tell you that you should be very proud of yourselves given the facts that I was able to communicate with him. Not eveyone would be going through this. This experience will put the Stimell's on a totally different plane with eachother and how you look at life. If I was God, I would grant you a wish to push time ahead one year from now so the three of you could look at this as a memory. Scott, talk to you soon, info where you should mail your sales tax check. Tommorrow Joe

This is a great communication tool. Not an hour goes by without thinking of you all. I am grateful for any news. I am sorry to hear how difficult this week has been. As a grandmother of a disabled child, I can surely relate to the ups and downs, the bruises on your heart and the full tear ducts...hang in there, it WILL be better.

Other world news...hurricane IVAN coming next...we just returned to find things pretty stable housewise. Lots of trees down and flooded lakes and ponds. A clean-up crew just came through and topped off one of our southern pines...it was hanging by a splinter just waiting for IVAN to send it through our window...sorry to see it fall under the axe.

The Long Beach class of '54 reunion was so interesting...everyone look and acted 16...if you believe that I have a bridge to sell.

Dear Scott and Jill - We are so sorry that Hannah is in so much pain - we wish that we could take it away from her ourselves - if only for a few minutes of rest. Hang in there for her - we know that you can do it. At first all the meds will seem daunting but we know that you can do it. Ask if you can practice at the hospital with them there. You will be amazed at how good you get - especially when it is so important. My daughter Bernadette used to help me with my meds when she was only three.
We just got back from the "school picnic" - which was more like a WWF mud match after the rains that we have had. We had to hose both of them off before they came into the house. Their sneakers are still "walking around" the washing machine.
All our hearts and prayers are with you as always.
Love, Angela, Jack, Bernadette & Elizabeth

We hope that tonight is much better and less painful for Hannah than last night. Now, for what's going on in the east: traffic has gotten pretty crazy on the LIE due to the start of school. We went to McDonald's with the Baum boys and, of course, had you guys on our minds. It's great to hear that Hannah will be able to leave the room shortly -another step in the right direction. Before you know it you will all be back home together. good night.

And will see you all soon I am planning to come and visit you guys at the end of the month. Take care and give Hannah a big kiss form all of us.

syosset, ny - Friday, September 10, 2004 5:09 PM CDT

Hannah, Jill & Scott-
Thanks again for the updates! It's turned into part of the daily routine to check this website. It is quite amazing to see how many people check in and the many people who are concerned for Hannah (and for how Mommy & Daddy too)!! Hannah's toughness is quite an inspiration to us. With the New Year approaching, I am certain that Hannah will have a new, healthy outlook on life and that y'all (Yes, folks from the Bronx can say Y'ALL) can put this behind you and watch Hannah grow up HEALTHY & STRONG!!
As for what's going on in the "real world", mom's got a broken humerus (why is it a funny bone??) and is learning to do everything left handed including checking the web site and typing messages to you folks. (Oh, and we finally got a cable modem.. The website loads SO much faster now..)
We continue to pray for everyone and can't wait until you come back to NY.
ALL OUR LOVE!!!

Herzog again.......Revisited the sight today and learned you made an entry this morning that was not there when I checked in previously earlier today. Sorry Hannah is still is pain but I'm sure the drip will help. Ask the nurses if you can walk around with Hannah on your shoulder if it doesn't interfere with her tubes, that always worked in calming down my kids. Tough on me, but.......Don't worry about not knowing everything about what to do when you take Hannah out of the Hospital. Scott, you and Jill will do fine. The both of you are intelligent and caring parents, who have shown that no hurdle cannot be jumped over or walked around. Hannah has the utmost faith in you both. Stay strong, stay directed, and try to get out a little, even though you may not have visitors from New York anymore, it is very important for you to maintain your stamina, and a little diversion is good. Love and...Joe

I try, but it's hard to imagine what you and Jill have gone through these past months, but know this, you have full support from so many friends, acquaintenances, family and even strangers that have heard, that this should hopefully give you the strength to continue to push the envelope and lean on anyone for support. That's what we're here for. Scott, keep on with your quest, I truly believe all good people are rewarded for their selfless deeds. And you are good people. LOve Joe

Glad to hear that brave little Hannah is having a few goods day. I hope even better days to come until your long awaited trip home. Even when I don't write, Hannah and your family are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Dearest cousins,

I sure hope the folks in Minnesota know what a knish is and also what is kasha. I think knish knosh arrives Friday.

Also, a lot of my buddies here and the adult transplant doc I worked for are cheering you on.

Scott, if you need a break (understatement), you might want to check slamonline web page. You will remember my younger son Sam, who works for Lang Whittaker. Sam has a piece on the web as of yesterday.

And some family news, my older children (Dan and Lida, married 11 1/2 years) have a baby on the way. So I did an Aunt Sylvia, and went to Macy's and bought 25 outfits (no sales tax week in New York).
Jill, I am a compulsive food shopper, and especially like to try all the new products. Anyone of the Stimell's interested in Starbucks Ice Cream?

Again, all of our heartfelt best wishes, and looking for a continuing increase in WBC's, neuts, and Hannah's appetite.
Love and kisses, Carole Toby

You are such special people to have all those wonderful friends and that is such a blessing. We love you and if our plane goes over Minnesota on the way to New Mexico we will blow kisses down.

I am one of the neonatologists that cared for Andrew Goldberg, David and Franessa's son. They tell me that you are a very good friend of Dave's back from kindergarten.

Dave and Franessa started a foundation - The Tender loving Care Foundation - to support the Neonatal ICUs in the NOrth Shore Long Island Jewish Health System, support for families with infants in the NICUs', support for the Perinatal Health Care Team and support for advocacy of the needs of families with critically ill newborn infants in the NICUs. Dave developed a web site for the foundation which would like to increase the awarenss of the community of parents as well as seed other chapters of TLC across the country. The website is www.TenderLC.com. So if you can publicize the web site through yours, that would be great.

Herzog again........Hi Stimells, glad to hear that Scott is now checking in again with that distinctive flavor of his comminque's. We love you Scott. Glad to hear that Hannah continues to progress and sorry she still is occasionally uncomfortable. When my kids were growing up Scott, the evenings were a total bliss for me unlike anything I have ever known till then and even now, it was the time my kids were falling asleep on my lap and I sang them songs as I put them to sleep with their evening bottle. I know it made them happy and secure too Scott, but I really don't know if they know how much of a positive emotional experience it was for me. Continue your fight, I personally still think and totally believe that there isn't anything that the two of you can't accomplish with your resolve. Miracles can be forced, and the three of you are going to fight and force the outcome you want. Even if you get tired, it looks like Hannah won't. Her pictures continue to inspire. love and kisses Joe

Hey Guys
As I reflect on the happenings over the past few days and the past few months, I have found a certain parallel. When we asked Brian why he did a triple twist off his bed the other day(leading to a broken wrist), he responded," mommy told me I could do anything I put my mind to" Well, indeed this is true. I wasn't exactly thinking about triple flips or twists, but this is true. And, I believe my children can do anything they put their minds to. That's not to say that there won't be bumps, bruises, and broken bones along the way - there most definitely will be. The same goes for Hannah and her illness. She can and will do anything that she and her courageous parents put their minds to. There will be a few rocky roads along the way. These roads make us who we are - stronger, kinder, and better people - people who empathize with others; people who are good,true, loyal friends. The bumps, bruises, and broken bones make us appreciate the easier times. They make our accomplishments that much better.
So, with the cool new Yankee blue cast in place for the new school year, we,in the Rauch household, are ready to do anything we put our minds to. And YOU, Scott, Jill and Hannah, are our great inspiration.
All my love,
Mindy

It's great to keep hearing good news from Minnesota! So Hannah is responding nicely, I'm sure everyone is doing handstands! Although it must be difficult to watch her coming off the morphine, that too is a good sign. We are all waiting to hear of her first "outing". Just keep your spirits up and continue being there for her. That's what she needs, knowing that she is totally loved.
Please remember that all of us Long Beachers are here to help in any way that we can. If there is anything that we can do, just say the word.

I echo Julie's sentiments and am so hopeful that Hannah is on the road to accepting this transplant fully and is truly on the road to recovery. It doesn't sound to me like you need any more eggplant parmisan - however, I thought some New York Tal Bagels might sound good to you - so I will carry them with me on the plane. (I am sure that the smell of this food permeating throughout the plane - when the airlines no longer serve you ANYTHING but peanuts - will endear me to the other passengers)

I am so very proud of all of you. This cannot be said enough - you are both an inspiration as to how you treat, respect, unconditionally love and nurture your child. I love you all and am looking forward to seeing Hannah and you both tomorrow. I eagerly await seeing where you have been living - and meeting the staff that has taken such terrific care of Hannah.

Plainview, NY USA - Wednesday, September 8, 2004 10:14 AM CDT

Herzog again.......Mark's last entry was very informative and appeared to be knowlegdable about the disease that Hannah has. After reading his entry, you can't help but appreciate the sacrifice and love the both of you (and your family members) have for Hannah. I can't help but get emotional every time I come to this site. The pictures of Hannah are so cute, it's hard for me to realize what she and the both of you are going through. I'm sorry that the drip is being reduced, that obviously will make Hannah more uncomfortable. But this may be a good thing in the long run. I feel a little more informed about Hannah's sickness thanks to Mark, and I hope that the enzyme needed to fight off this horrible disease will be produced by the body. Dengerative diseases should be an expression that should never be uttered as they denote a part of life that a family should never have to endure. I pray that Hannah's blood work will have the right nutrophils and white blood count that she should have. Having Hannah possibly come home or even back to Ronald's house must be something the both of you are looking forward to, even though as Mark put it, it may be scary. I think the both of you can and will conquer everything and any obstacle put in your way so as to assure the recovery of Hannah. Again, I pray for all, Hannah and her recovery and painless days and nights, Scott and Jill for their strength and tenderness, and love they have for their daughter, and for all the family members and friends who write and support you through this. Miracles happen, it is not just a word in the dictionary. God bless you Joe

YOU HAVE SO MUCH LOVE AND SUPPORT AND PRAYERS, OUR WORLDS HAVE BEEN ENHANCED BY READING THE DAILY WEB SITE AND LEARNING WHAT LOVE AND PRAYER AND POSITIVE ENERGY CAN ACCOMPLISH.

MONSEY, NY USA - Tuesday, September 7, 2004 9:34 PM CDT

Dear Scott, Jill, and Hannah,
I know the prospect of being discharged is terrifying, but still, it is great news nonetheless. I'm in a reflective mood as I'm up alone, checking the website for a new update, looking forward to tomorrow when one of my miracles, Haley, turns 11 (who let that happen) and starts middle school (didn't she just start talking). We've all asked for a miracle regarding Hannah and we continue to pray for the very best. It is worth noting the miracles that have already taken place. Even getting to the point of being considered healthy enough for discharge is a major triumph. The support and encouragement of friends and family from all over the country leaves all of us who check this web site in absolute awe. You've done everything possible for Hannah and no more can be expected from any parent. The road ahead is unknown. The journey, though difficult and painful, is worth taking, and is a miracle in and of itself.
All our love,
Dan (awake), Mindy, Haley, and Brian (all asleep)

Thank you Mark for such an informative update - it is hard for us to be here and not hear the details. We pray every day for Hannah to continue to be a miracle. We hope that everyone is doing OK. We have some small idea of what an ordeal it is to be with a sick child in a city that is not your own. Jill and Scott - try to take a few moments to take care of yourselves. It is very important for everyone that you remain strong. Hannah will continue to see your strength and sense of humor. Apparently the strength of your stomach and sense of humor are in tact. Who else would eat fried things on sticks???? You must have completely lost your minds though! Love,

Herzog again..........I apoligize for signing in the last few days. life got in the way. I'm thrilled Hannah is apparantly showing signs of recouping. It makes all the time you guys put in worth it. Even if she was not getting better, I can't imagine the both of you not feeling the time isn't worth it anyway. Her pictures are worth a million bucks. Her warmth and strength and sweetness are all over the pics. I sometimes don't understand some of the medical jargon you write in the journal, but the flavor of the entries over the last week are a marked difference from the entries three weeks ago. I pray that Hannah continues her journey. Scott and Jill, words really can't be expressed how I feel about the both of you. You truly are wonderful parents and Hannah knows this. I continue to believe that all will get better and you will be home again soon. In any event, I will continue to check in on a daily basis and wish the three of you some restful nights ahead, and the joy of watching Hannah smile. Love Joe Herzog

Well, I am back home, but it is really weird - I feel like I belong in Minnesota with all of you. I guess the next best thing was being on your beach today and getting Hannah's clothes ready for when she will be able to break out of there. Lots of people from the building asked for you and send their best wishes for Hannah. Of note, the updates have seemed to slack a bit since I left. We are all counting on you for daily updates - and please make them filled with a bit of humor for all of us pathetic people who are glued to this website for some good news - we are counting on you.

Dearest cousins,

Mighty fine news re: neutrophils. And all the other great activities, toy shaking, plus grandma Fredda told me Hannah is enjoying her books.
I am working in my garden, preparing for Sukkot-which means I have to harass Allen Ira to start building.
And as the days seem to whirl by, we are wishing you a very sweet, happy and healthy rosh hashanah. I look forward to the day when I can have all the Stimell's in our Sukkah, and feed them all the delicacies they unendingly deserve.
Gotta get back to marshalling Allen. Love from all of us with big bear hugs. Carole Toby

Dear Scott,Jill, Hannah and Family
Our thoughts and prayers have been with you since Dara
first told us about Hannah's illness. I am finally learning
how to use the computer and went on your website last night.
Hannah is so beautiful and the strength, love and courage you all have will get you through this ordeal and Hannah
will be on her way to a full recovery. I sat at the computer
for over three hours reading all your journal updates and
all the loving messages from family, friends and strangers
from all over the world and with that kind of positive energy you can't lose. God bless all of you for a happy and
healthy new year. Love, Gloria and Hank Utrecht

Hi Scott,
I just found out about Hannah and wanted to send out my prayers and wishes to you and your family. It is obvious to see that Hannah is absolutely beautiful (she get's her looks from your wife!)My mom and dad, Adrianne and Jill all wanted to send their love, and you should know that so many thoughts are with you. Every time during this time of the year, I think back to when we were younger and sold ice cream together on your boat, always trying something new (the all mighty dollar). Keep those good thoughts! I know from growing up with you that you're a strong individual and you have the power to get through hard times. Continue to be strong knowing that every little step is a miracle.

Love,

IT SURE SOUNDS LIKE JILL COULD USE SOME FUDGE AND OTHER GOODIES. CANNOT IMAGINE WHAT THESE WEEKS HAVE DONE TO THE WEIGHT PATTERN. THOSE OF US WHO CONTINUALLY TRY TO LOOSE WEIGHT SHOULD THINK HOW LUCKY WE ARE AND RELAX A BIT.
HANNAH, WE ARE SO HAPPY THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER FOR YOU AS IT APPEARS THE STEM CELL TRANSPLANT IS REALLY WORKING. SCOTT NICE TO HEAR YOU GUYS GOT OUT FOR A BIT AND DID SOME PIGGING OUT. IT ALMOST SOUNDS LIKE LIFE IS MOVING TOWARDS SOME SORT OF NORMALCY. WE WILL NOT RELAX THE PRAYERS OR POSITIVE ENERGY, FOR SURE THEY ARE DOING THE JOB.

Dear Hannah, Scott, Jill, and the "law",
Glad to hear that things continue to go well. When I spoke to Dr. Peters yesterday he was very encouraged. I want to be upfront that if Hannah continues this well and noisy at night, and if Dr. Peters gets me to present at their Grnad Rounds, I'm not volunteering for night duty during my visit. Also, since I'll be coming in from San Fran, I won't be able to deliver any knishes. However, I'm willing to bring all the sourdough I can carry and anything else from the left coast that you desire. The kids are looking forward to school next week. I had to turn down Yankee tickets for Tuesday night so we'll all be well rested for their first day on Wed. They both miss you all very much and can't wait to have their cousin back in NY! And who knew that Mindy could be that funny?
Love,

Hi Jill and Scott - its great to hear that Hannah is feeling so much better. Its also nice to see that you have so much help - hopefully not too much. We can't offer you any food except maybe some barbecue, fried chicken or fried okra - hey its the best we can do down south - we do get great eggplant parm so Atlanta obviously scores over Minn. Believe it or not I may have a deposition in Fargo, North Dakota (don't ask why) but, not surprinsingly, just about the only way to get there is through Minn. If I can I would love to spend a day with you guys. I'll call and let you know when it might be to see if it works for you. We all continue think nothing but positive thoughts for you and Hannah. Talk to you soon.

Love,

She had a good night except for a little high blood pressure. The thing is now she is becoming a talking machine and making lots of cute little noises in her sleep. I don't know how Scott and Jill do it up all night every other night - truly amazing and committed.

Hi everyone,
Hannah looks cuter than ever-can't wait to see her in the shirt grandpa brought.I have to mention the great guy that put the lettering on the tee shirt. They do screen printing etc & his name is Pat. The store is in New Rochelle called All Sports Athletic Products. I was explaining about Hannah while he was doing the shirt and not only was he REALLY listening, but he refused to charge me and wished Hannah well. It just brought me to tears as I left the store,how kind people really are.It never ceases to amaze me how many people are in our corner.Thanks, Pat.
Wishing you all a peaceful night and another good day. One day at a time.

It is so good to hear positive news two days in a row! Way to go Hannah!!!!

PS, just saw the pictures everyone is talking about and I can't believe how great Hannah looks! Her eyes are just the biggest brown eyes I've ever seen!

Long Beach will miss you this weekend but you have more important things to take care of - Hannah is a lucky girl to have such wonderful parents and family.

I'll make sure to keep praying for continued progress.

Herzog again......So glad to heat Hannah had another good day. It is truly amazing that so small the news that your daughter had a good day, but so large an impact. One day at a time is a great way to live your life under the circumstances. Everything is being taken care of by friends so you should be able to keep all your attention, direction, and love to your daughter, and nothing and no one else. I do hope that Hannah can start to string some of her good days together. Love Joe Herzog, Keep on believing.

Whenever I call the store I ask Brain how Hannah, Jill and you are doing, so when I saw him yesterday he gave me the information on Hannah's website. I hope all is going well and you'll all be home soon.
I've said some prayers for Hannah and GOD had better been listening. He doesn't hear from me to often so he better make them count!!!

Dearest cousins,

You wouldn't believe everyone's ecstatic ectasy over peaches; and of course, all of you enduring this experience with such stamina and staying "together". I am in touch with Alice and Donald and baby Fredda Anholt. I believe Alice told Cora. If we can provide anything, we are available at all times. Fredda, how come you never served me eggpt parm??? at least provide a recipe.

It is not so easy to be flippant (spelling) at this time, but a smile, a grin can do a lot.

And I need an introduction to Mr. Herzog, my neighbor in Northport. He is a fantastic writer of so many of my thoughts. I'll close again with a lot of love, hugs and kisses, We need to be informed. Love, Carole Toby

Herzog again............I was wondering when the lighter side of the Stimells would come shinning through. Wish I could be there to see Scott compain about....everything, in only the way Scott could do it. When he's done, after he has compained about the accommodations, food, wheather, travel, etc. you literally sit back and say to yourself, but he is so lovable. That is the core of the Stimell's. That is what Hannah see's, the Doctor's see, and all of their friends and acquaintences, including their warm hearts. I'm glad Hannah continues to eat solid food. After this past month, what an accomplishment. Continue to do God's work guys, Although you both probably take what you are doing for granted because you have to do this, you want to do this, and this is just the way it is right now, but the both of you should be very proud of eachother. Your strength, compassion, togetherness and tenacity are overwhelming. LOve you both, Joe Herzog

Dear Scott & Jill
I'm am just thrilled Hannah decided to eat today...what a step in the right direction. Yeah for peaches...I love them too. When she gets home you can even paint her new room peach! After so many bad days, this news is so wonderful! It was great talking to you yesterday. I'm always afraid to call-afraid I might wake someone. You guys need your sleep to be stong for that special little lady!
I have a calendar on my desk and the message of the day was this: (I thought of your special family and wanted to share these special words by an unknown person) "A smile of encouragement at the right moment may act like sunlight on a closed-up flower; it may be the turning point for a struggling life."
Much love and prayers

Hi Scott, Jill and Hannah
Just wanted to let you know that you're being thought of constantly...Scott and Jill, you should be so proud to be Hannah's parents. She'll draw even more strength from you because of the love you two have for her. Hannah is more than a beautiful little girl and your pride and joy will be feeding herself those peaches before you know it. Nothing but the best for you guys and don't worry, you'll feel my good vibes through praying...Carl

Hi everyone! I know what food Jill is always going to have in the house now - peaches!!!! Sounds yummy to me. Peach cobler, peach pie, peach pancakes, peach cake, peach juice. Whatever it takes - right? I love you guys and am so thrilled to hear that Princess Hannah ate peaches!! Big, big news. Remember - two steps forward - one step back. She had her step back last week - now - it's her two steps forward.
I will try calling later.

Hi Scott ,

Your neighbors (aka - my parents) told me about this site.
Unbelievable how many people have logged on already. Haven't been in Long Beach in a while so I haven't even got to meet your pretty princess Hannah - though my parents keep me informed as they are Scott Stimell fans. My father never gets sick of you telling him how fast I was.

Just want to tell you that I'm thinking about you and your fam. and I can't wait to meet Hannah to challenge her to a relay or swimming race at the pool!

Hugs and Kisses,

Herzog again.........Well, after many entries by you, I was overjoyed that your last entry was in fact upbeat. Hannah eating is not what you would call an entry for Guiness, but in her circumstances, and considereing what she has had to endure over the past month, a Guiness entry would be an understatement. I'm happay for the both of you. Talk about putting things into perspective. This website was a stroke of genious, allowing everyone who cares for you to follow you in your ordeal, get information on a daily basis, and give you their support. Someone I don't know emailed my to say that my entries were a good thing. Scott, there are so many good vibes and warm fuzzies floating all around you, Jill and Hannah. Keep on believing what you have to to get through the days, you will be rewarded. I believe in miracles, You have to also. Keep up your strength. All my love Joe

Dear Jill and Scott:
"Hannah"
She comes from both your souls,
This tiny life takes hold,
Her eyes tell a story all their own,
Of love, friendship and family,
She needs you to bear the pain,
Only her strength will show,
She is life,
She is love,
She is beautiful,
She is wonderous,
She is a fighter,
She can move mountains,
She is only seven months old,
Yet has touched everyone she has met
and some she has not even,
You can not do anything but love her,
We love both of you, for she is you,
Love Jody,Mark, Jenna and Nikki

Dearest cousins,

Not to worry about Hannah's hair, as it does grow back. And with her eyes, who needs hair.

Anecdote: Ask Grandma Fredda, about high fevers. I and both my kids ran high high fevers, not fun; but good news, you can always bring a fever down, and little kids temp goes up very fast and their fever goes down also quickly.
I have a sense that Hannah is making positive progess.

As always, our thoughts are with you. We are sending you all tons of hugs and kisses. Love, Carole Toby R.

Herzog again.......The weekend is over, back to work, and to deal with my clients. I bring this up as your life out there does not comprise of weekdays or weekends, but surviving each day with Hannah and whatever is happening with her little body. I'm sorry her fever was so high and that she continues to lose her hair, but Scott and Jill, "IT WILL GROW BACK". Such a battler for one so young. As adults we sometimes wonder how people do what they do, but as adults, we wonder even more how children do what they do. Hannah is a battler and I'm sure will continue to fight and survive, and the both of you must do the same. I know each day seems like an eternity, but each day you are battling and winning. Each day you have with eachother, is another battle fought and won. Keep on believing that all this is for a reason and that miracles do happen. One day at a time right now is all Hannah needs, and all that you should be thinking about. Everything else will be taken care of. Tell me if you need anything done financially with the store. Love Joe, Will chech in tomorrow.

Dear Jill, I speak to your Mom just about daily and get her updates. My heart goes out to you and Scott, the family and of course, little HannahMollie. My sincerest wishes for a complete and speedy recovery. HannahMollie is in my thoughts and prayers every day for a comfortable course of successful treatment. There isn't much more to say. I mostly listen to your mom when she talks, which is a major change for me! I had trouble getting on the website for the past week and I just got on. It's now on my favorites list.
Continue to be strong, as I know you are. Again, my best wishes and love, Harriet Mark

Dear Hannah and family-
I had the wonderful privilege of meeting your Grandma on the flight in from NYC on Monday. I have been praying ever since. I have a candle lit for your family, and Hannah-you are even more beautiful than your grandmother told me. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. You have a great strong family, no wonder you are such a strong little girl.

Dear Jill, Scott and Hannah -
I am so sorry that Hannah is having complications. I just wish her a restful and peaceful recovery. Regarding her hair - she is so beautiful and her beauty is in her smile, her eyes and her heart.

We are off for the week - but reachable on my cell phone. I love you all and think of you all the time. Keep the strength and doing what you are doing. I am so happy for you two that you had a friend visiting for the weekend. It was nice to hear an update from him as well on your website.

I FIND IT VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT INTO WORDS MY FEELINGS ABOUT JILL, SCOTT AND HANNAH. WHAT DO I WANT FROM HASHEM?-
THE OPPORTUNITY TO HAVE YOU ALL IN MY HOUSE AGAIN; TALKING, EATING AND ENJOYING THE GATHERING OF OUR WHOLE FAMILY. I WANT HANNAH TO EAT LARGER PORTIONS THAN SCOTT. I WANT HER TO EAT MY POTATO SALAD, TUNA AND KASHA. I WANT EVERYTHING TO RETURN TO NORMAL. I PRAY MANY TIMES A DAY FOR THE WELFARE OF ALL OF YOU. I HAVE THE BELIEF, THAT WE WILL TALK ABOUT THIS PERIOD OF TIME AS THE MIRACLE IN OUR FAMILY.
I WANT TO HOLD HANNAH IN MY HANDS, KISS HER, TALK TO HER AND
TELL HER ABOUT THE LOVE THAT WE HAVE FOR HER AND HER WONDERFUL PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND LOVING FAMILY.
WE WILL BE WITH YOU IN GOOD AND BAD TIMES. LOVE, MORTY AND ALICE

Herzog again..........I find it truly amazing that Hannah is having so much happen to her at such a young age. Between her fevers, masks, losing her hair, the transplant, the litany of tests which never seem to end, the poking and prodding by all the doctors and nurses, and she continues to respond positively to you, truly amazing and a testament of the love she must have for the both of you. Spoke with my brother-in-law, an MD who is one of the foremost experts on epilepsy in the country, and he wanted me to mention that there should be a foundation for Hannah's illness. Call them, and they may be of some additional help. These foundations have been set up to assist people like you in every way possible. I continue to think about you guys everyday, as I'm sure most of the people do who register in this guestbook. I hope you had a good night's sleep and hope God is answering my prayers, everyone else's prayers, and your prayers for this nightmare to come to an end soon with the three of you returning to Long Island. I want you to continue to beleive that miracles do happen. I believe it. Bad things don't always happen to good people. Love all three of you. will check in again tomorrow. Love Joe

Lynbrook, NY - Saturday, August 28, 2004 8:22 AM CDT

Herzog again.........Just read you're last entry. It's hard for anyone not actually going through what you are going through to comprehend the extent of everything. People don't know how resilient children are until they are put to the test. Hannah should write a book on this subject. It is truly amazing how strong and trusting she is. I think she knows that you love her and are doing everything for her out of your caring for her. Bridge the connection between you and the child. (Hence caring bridge). Dropped by the store yesterday, everything seems to be going well. Words at this juncture are just words, but continue doing what you're doing. I continue to believe you will be rewarded, and Hannah will be to. It just has to be. Miracles do happen Scott. Believe in it. The pictures are great. They capture the innocence and strength of Hannah. Talk to you tomorrow. Love Joe

I love you all very much and wish I could be there with you to relieve you at night or help any way that I can. Scottie - sorry that I kept waking you up -- just a concerned friend - won't happen again!!

Hello Jill,
Your little Girl Hannah is so beautiful. Since I was informed of her illness I would call on Linda B. for updates, now I can read for myself. I think of you and your family offend Jill, for I cannot even begin to imagine..... I hope that my prayers are answered that today is your brightest day as this is the day that you take Baby Hannah back home.

Herzog again......I spoke with Scott this morning and he remains steadfast in his quest. He thanks all of you for all the entries in this guestbook. It gives him the needed energy to continue. It really is overwhelming for him and his family to see how much support and love that everyone has for them. Keep the entries coming. Scott, I faxed the documents to Mcdonald House. Stay strong and lean on eachother, the both of you are obviously stronger than you thought you ever could be, all my love Joe

Dear Hannah,

I have just read your father's latest journal entry and I am so sad for what you have to endure. You and I have never met but I feel as if you are a part of my extended family now. Always remember you are surrounded by love -- primarily from your parents of course -- but also from so many people from faraway places, friends and relatives and strangers (like me) who are praying for you everyday. One day, I believe, that your parents will print out this extraordinary journal and show it to you. When you read it you will discover how many people love you and are pulling for you. Then you will know that the power of love and prayer accomplishes only good things. You are in my thoughts everyday, little Hannah. Your new photo shows us that despite your pain you smile brightly. Keep fighting; my son and daughter (who are just one month older than you) are waiting to meet you.

With love,
Linda Scherzer (Noa, Daniel and Ronen)

Herzog checking in again.....Your updates are very graphic. I feel so bad for Hannah that she can't enjoy these precious months. My Heart goes out for the both of you that your memories of Hannah's early childhood will be clouded by these memories. But, I stand by my convictions that God has a plan, and you must continue to believe in miracles. The both of you should be so proud of yourselves that you are maintaining strength and doing this together. I know Scott, and Scott is probably saying that we have no choice. Well, you do and this is the choice you are living, and you are living it to the highest degree of sacrifice and love. All will work out. Hannah is a very lucky child to have such loving parents. Try to rest as much as you can. Everyone is thinking of you three. All my Best Love Joe I know people offer services, but from me actions speak volumes, let me know if I can do anything for the both of you.

Scott, Jill and Hannah – Know that Hannah’s peace comes from having parents with the incredible strength to offer her (and possibly other children)a chance for a miracle . When you feel you can’t go on anymore and the situation seems unbearable remember that you are the best parents Hannah could have hoped for and never doubt your decision.

I believe in miracles and pray every day for you and your daughter. Please take care of yourselves and be sure to accept any help offered.

Dear Hannah, Scott and Jill,

My father once told me, there’s a reason the word miracle is written in the dictionary. I refuse to believe there will be any other outcome in Hannah’s case. As an old friend and colleague of Jill’s I was deeply saddened to learn of her illness. (Raquel has kept me regularly updated). As a new mother I felt an immediate bond to all of you. Hannah has invaded my heart; she’s in my thoughts and prayers everyday. May you continue to find the strength to comfort her as you’ve done thus far with such courage and compassion. I will go to synagogue this Friday to say a special refuah shlemah for your beautiful little girl. No child should have to suffer as she has. Hopefully the collective voices of all who love Hannah will be too loud for God to ignore. Thank you for sharing your story. I hope it’s of some comfort to know how much I – and my family – care.

With love,
Linda Scherzer

Scott, Its been a long time but I can remember you and all the parties we've been too like it was yesterday. Its a small world, your brother in law, Eric, is a very good friend of mine as well as Cori. Our families are close, he lives a few towns away. I've known about your little girl from the start. I have had her and your family in my thoughts without ever knowing the connection. She is beautiful. When I first heard I wanted to do something, anything. I guess all I can do is pray for you guys which I do and have been. When she gets well, and I believe she will, lets all get together. Scott, you must be a brave guy as well as your wife. I admire both of you. I hope your strength and faith gets your family through this tough time. I will always keep your little girl in my thoughts.

Hi Scott and Jill......Herzog checking in again. Don't feel bad about the morphine for Hannah. She's in much pain and this soothes her, and you and Jill. Later when these tests and other procedures diminish, the hospital will cut her dosage down slowly if there is a problem. My love, hopes, dreams and good energy go out to the both of you and continue to repeat myself, miracles happen all the time. God has a plan, believe and take one day at a time.

Scotty, Just heard the news. There is one memory that always sticks in my head. You and I going to that Jets-Miami game when the Jets came back in OT to beat the Phins 51-45(i think that was the score) circa 1986. You and I left the stadium in the 4th quarter to get a beat on traffic on our way back to SUNY Albany with the Phins having a comfortable lead. We heards roars from the crowd in the parking lot and went back inside(you know I can't remember if we actually did or just told everyone we did so we did not look like idiots leaving one of the best NFL games in history). Anyway, my point is this: I distinctly remember you saying something to the effect "you can never give up". With that in mind, I know and I know that you know Hannah will pull thru this. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Just checking in to see how everyone is doing. I'm hoping that Hannah, Mom and Dad were all able to get some rest last night.

To Jill and Scott: you are both so amazing. Hannah is truly fortunate to have parents with such strength during this difficult time. I know you said that the next two weeks are going to be grueling, just try to remember that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. We pray that when you wake up every morning, the light is much brighter than the day before.

Hannah is strong, a quality she gets from both parents. She will get through this and so will you. Always remember that you have friends in Long Beach, all over NY and beyond that love Hannah and are praying for this precious baby and her parents every day.

I receive daily updates from Raquel. Each day my heart and prayers go out to you. Although I know Hannah is currently suffering, I have heard about the positive. Whether it was Hannah had a good night, or a treatment went well. This news is encouraging and very promising.

You both are doing an amazing job. I hear how tired both physically and mentally you both are. If there is anything I can do please let me know. Please give Hannah a kiss for me. I look forward to bagles and sun very soon... Michael

I miss you both terribly and cannot wait to see you both and to hold your precious little girl. I will talk to you later today. I love you - Raquel.

i was saddened to hear about everything that you have been going through. with all that your family has encountered over the years, it breaks my heart to see how you all are suffering now.

hannah is so beautiful...in all of the photos she has a twinkle in her eye, and looks so trusting. i wish that i could scoop her up and give her a big hug and kiss.

scott, i always remembered your smile and warmth. you must be the best father ever!

hopefully this week i will get to see nancy, and give her a fun night on the town. i will be thinking of you all, and send you the biggest hug ever. love always, beth taylor

When our son was in the hospital for 6 weeks as an infant the nurses all told me that he would never remember any of it and I'd never forget it. They were right. My husband & I wish you strength & hope - we are thinking of you every day.

It's really hard to read about the difficult situation that the whole family is going through but the good thing is that Hannah will not remember when she's running around like every child has the right to do, although no one else will ever forget. With all the love and prayers that are being sent to you, G-d will help and she will be the miracle baby that people will read about in the future. Jill and Scott, you're strong and you've created a tough little girl - hang in there !

Jill,Scott and Hannah,
I think of you morning,day and night of every day. Whether you realize it or not you have shown unbelievable courage and strength and not only are you lucky to have baby Hannah BUT how very lucky for Hannah to have you two as her parent's !! NEVER GIVE UP AND DO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES !!!
Scott as popular as you may be(or think you are) Hannah is a very beautiful,loved little girl that sooo many people are praying for her to be well and come back home where she belongs. Anything at all...i'm here for you.
With love, Stacey and Howie

Dear Jill and Scott,
We just read the update in your journal. If Hannah were more verbal, she could not ask for more love and support than she's getting from the two of you and your family. If there's any justice in the universe, then all the positive energy that she's getting will provide the happy ending that we're all after.
We love you all,

Hannah, Jill & Scott-
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Not a day goes by that I don't think about all of you and about how little Hannah is doing. It's hard to sit here and read about what is going on, and I can't fathom how hard this is for your entire family. Now that Hannah has received the transplant, I'm sure that these updates will get more painful for a little while, but I look forward to the day that you write that her body has accepted the transplant and you are on your way back home. We are all on your side, and even though we can't all be there, we are ALL there in spirit!! You are tough enough to win this battle and with G-d's help, you WILL win this one!!
ALL MY LOVE!!!

Dear Jill & Scott - it's Jodine - "Grandma" Kathi's friend again - Hannah is so beautiful!!!! I've just read you update & I'm writing this with tears in my eyes. As hard as this is for Hannah to go through, as someone who has been there and back, I must tell you that I believe that it is much harder on loved ones than it is on the person who is ill - it must be heartwrenching for you not to be able to take this away from her - but I hope I can help you by promising that after she is well and healthy and laughing again Hannah won't remember any of this - you will - but she won't. So hold Hannah and each other tightly and with love and God will hold you all in his arms too! I of course will keep you in my heart and in my prayers! With love & empathy - Jodine

"Here’s wishing you the bluest sky,
And hoping something better comes tomorrow.
Hoping all the verses rhyme,
And the very best of choruses to
Follow all the doubt and sadness.
I know that better things are on the way.

Here’s hoping all the days ahead
Won’t be as bitter as the ones behind you.
Be an optimist instead,
And somehow happiness will find you.
Forget what happened yesterday,
I know that better things are on the way.

I know you’ve got a lot of good things happening up ahead.
The past is gone it’s all been said.
So here’s to what the future brings,
I know tomorrow you’ll find better things."

Scott,
I am a new friend, but it does not stop my heart from going out to you all. I can only imagine your anxiety. Life is strange and why certain things happen is certainly beyond our comprehension sometimes. I pray for you and your family and hope you will all get through this. I have also experienced having a chronic illness that was eventually fixed with surgeries and ongoing planning with a specialist. Sometimes the light at the end of the tunnel is very dim. Try to keep your spirits up as best you can. Pray, because that will be difference once man and medicine can do no more.

All the best,

Jill, Scott, and Hannah:
There are a lot of people who's thoughts and prayers are with you each and every day here at the Ocean Club.
I was talking to Joyce and Diane Antman yesterday about an article we all recently read about in Newsday concerning parents of 2 boys with Batten disease, their other 2 boys are fine. His name is Phil Milto and his wife's name is Tricia. Although not the same as Hannah's condition, Batten is also a genetic disease. Phil Milto has on his own put together a business plan and through it has raised millions of dollars and found a doctor who is willing to perform live testing on both of his boys. I write to tell you this in the event that you should require funding or any type of fundraising help for Hannah. I'm sure there are many people here in this building that would be happy to contribute their time to help raise funds if the need should arise, please let us know how we can help and best of luck with the treatments! I have saved the article if it may help out in any way possible. We will all pray for a miracle!!! IT CAN HAPPEN!
