Merry Christmas

Mom had surgery Monday. They found one small tear in the membrane above one of the nerves he repaired it but didn't think that could be causing all the pain. So he did some blood testing and checked for spinal fluid leakage. The fluid was fine. Did you know the ansethiologist can make you cough?!?! Wierd! Her blood test came back funny. Normal was 12 for infection level and hers was 85. They think she may have gotten a staff infection from the original surgery. She got out of the hospital Christmas eve with a pic line. She has to go the the hospital twice a day for 6 weeks for antibiotic treatments. Hopefully this cures the problem. After countless call my Dad and I finally convinced my Mom and stupid sisters to postpone Christmas until Sunday so Mom could get some rest. So yesterday afternoon John ran to the store before they closed and picked up ham for dinner today at home. Abby found a mysterious gift from Santa dropped off at 4pm Christmas eve. She read the letter saying Santa's sleigh was too full so he thought he would drop off one gift for the family tonight. So we opened the Wii. She was so excited. We set it up and started to play. She got really frustrated because she is stubborn and "knows how to do everything" but wasn't getting it. We were then regretting getting it. But she finally caught on today and is the lead in bowling. She bowled a 203 today! We also played Mario Kart today and that is hilarious! We all love that one. She made a haul today. She loves her pink guitar and her MP3 player. She has been walking around with it on all day. Well I am beat. Rhonda and Gregg come tomorrow. Hopefully everything is ready. I am going to bed! Hope you all had a Merry Christmas!
