Today was much better, stomach wise, than yesterday. Ethan and I went to the store and I bought some things to make dinner tomorrow night for us. There was so much poop on the side walk. I am hoping it was dog poop, but one never knows.
We came back and we cleaned a little bit. Ethan is still working on his college work. He has until the 15 th to turn in all his missed work.
Christmas Eve is supposed to be a time to be with family. Even though we are hundreds of miles a way and it doesn’t really feel like Christmas, we are SO thankful to be as far along in recovery as we are. We won’t really “celebrate” Christmas until Paul and Avery come visit.
Tomorrow we will probably rest and watch tv. We will eat our special dinner and Ethan will do his schoolwork.
We will also reflect on how far Ethan has come. This Christmas we can converse. Last year I was begging just to hear Ethan’s voice one more time. I wasn’t sure if that was going to happen. This year we can talk about our donor family and how appreciative we are. That is quite a Christmas gift.
We have 3 weeks left here. That is another gift.
Merry Christmas to you and Ethan and of course, Paul and Avery🎅🏻🎄. So much reflection, I remember quite clearly where you were a year ago. I have to say even though you are not home for Christmas this year, Santa certainly came through this year! Once you two get home and past this recovery, that will be the biggest gift❤️. You are almost there.
