Background

Hi, this is Nathanael, Hannah's brother.

You may know that my sister has had back pain for about a year. Recently, she had an MRI done and the doctors found what appears to be a mass inside her spinal column. It is just below the spinal cord. What we know is that it will have to be removed. This will involve back surgery. We suspect that it is a particular type of tumor that is rarely malignant. However, this and most other details remain unknown at this time.

Our family will be asking for your prayers. During this time I'm going to be taking care of updating people over the next several weeks. There are a few ways to keep up with the details.

#1 Twitter
I would recommend Twitter. Follow "Hannahsback" on twitter.com. You will get real time updates and be notified when this blog is updated.

#2 Facebook
If you don't twitter and don't want to you might want to try Facebook. Add "Hannahs Back" as a friend to get the same information, real time updates and notification if this blog updates. You can even add the Facebook mobile application and get the updates sent to your phone. If you don't know anything about Facebook and Twitter and don't want to...

#3 Website
Just type in the website www.twitter.com/hannahsback. Yes, this is the twitter site but you don't need to know anything about twitter to use it. Just read updates when you're at the site. All of them are time stamped and you can click on any links you see. If this blog is updated there will be a link on the site. So check www.twitter.com/hannahsback for all the updates. Don't worry, if there is anything posted here there will be a post and a link on the twitter site directing you back here.
