Hi everyone! Again, sorry I haven't updated for a day or two. It has been soo crazy busy. MOM CAME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!!! We were so lucky to have her here. Thank you all so much for your prayers for her to be able to do so. We had a great time and she was able to sit and be a part of it. We are all so very grateful. My brother Tom and his wife Denise were able to come from Santa Rosa. Tom's son Aaron and his beautiful daughter, Lindee came from the U.S. Virgin Island just to be here with us. The whole family was together.

It is Saturday and mom and I have just sat and talked in her room. She is mad that she can't get up and get moving. She says she is being lazy! That is so mom. She is afraid she doesn't have enough time left to get the things done that she wants! I have assured her that she needs to lay there and heal so she can get up later and feel better. She talked to Nena on the phone and Nena always makes her laugh and cheers her up! Thank you again to all for the e-mails, love and support. Please keep it coming, it really helps!

Love,
Gretchen
