We are so thrilled. Kate was able to come off the Oscillator on Thursday morning and she has done really well. We had to keep her paralyzed, though, because we want to make sure that she can keep up her sats. She did so well that we were able to stop the paralytic yesterday. She seems to be handling being on the ventilator quite well. It's really important that we take things very slow, as we do not want her to go backwards. Today is the first day in a week that she has been "awake" and been able to interact. It has been so much fun, however, I think that she is MAD....can you blame her?? We are still hopeful that she will be able to come home before Christmas, but not getting our hopes up.
This is the first year that I actually started my Christmas shopping early and finished early, so that is one less thing to worry about. Also, since I have had a lot of time on my hands, I was able to finish my Christmas cards in the hospital and get them in the mail by 5:00 pm on Friday.....whew! So, I guess you can say that we are all ready for Christmas. I feel that this Christmas Season has been especially special for us. I think it's really easy to get caught up in the commercialization of Christmas and forget the true meaning of Christmas. I think when we focus on the birth of our Savior and reflect upon all the many "gifts" he has given to us, it makes this Christmas Season much more meaningful. We just want to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!!
