December 25

Judy had planned to be home for gift opening this morning, but she was not feeling well enough to leave the hospital. After lunch, we all went to the hospital to have Judy open her Christmas presents. When I went to pick Judy up for Christmas Dinner, she was dressed and ready to go, but she had another bout of nausea. The nurses were wonderful in getting Judy cleaned up and ready to go for Christmas. Having Judy spend Christmas with her family was their mission and they assisted Judy with zeal. One was running for catheter supplies. One was on her knees washing Judy. Another was giving Judy anti-nausea drugs through her pic line. Thank God for these wonderful angels of mercy. Judy was able to join the family at Haley's for Christmas Dinner. She sat at the head of the table and reveled in the experience of being with the family she loves dearly. These are precious times. This has been a wonderful, special Christmas. Thank you, God.
