Jack came home from the hospital yesterday afternoon and what a joy it was to be all together for Christmas. He was very tired and wanted to go to bed early which was fine especially with the big day ahead of him. We got Christina to bed fairly early and wouldn't you know it, she was up at 5:00am very anxious to see if Santa came. Luckily I was able to settle her down and watch TV until 8:00 when she was finally able to wake us all up. Jack was ready to go.....as a matter of fact he went into our livingroom before all of us with no lights on and was in complete awe at the gifts under the tree especially the bicycle that Santa brought him. The unfortunate thing is that Roy and I didn't even get to see his first reaction but boy the second reaction was as good as the first. Needless to say, we all followed in and the ripping began to happen......Both kids truely loved their presents and of course got what they wanted.......

But, no present will compare to the joy Santa then brought my children.......HIMSELF. Yes, I said Himself. Santa came to our house at around 2:00 this afternoon to see Jack and Christina. He knew that Jack got out of the hospital yesterday and really wanted to make Jack's Christmas extra special. Yes, he is the real thing!!!!!!!!! Santa brings such joy to many children who are unable to come out and see him and even after his long trip around the world bringing gifts he even finds time to visit those children who could use the uplift and I am so happy that he came to make Jack feel better. At first Jack was really great with Santa and even took him outside for a little while but then Jack started to fade and get irritible and we all came back inside. What a wonderful, caring, giving man and I am so glad to have him in our lives.

Tomorrow will be just like every other Tuesday. Clinic in the morning, but this time we may not be coming home. Jack is more then likely going to be admitted again and he will probably be getting another central line this week to help with his nutrition. He has gotten even thinner and we are battling something fierce to get him to gain. The C-Diff made things even more difficult, but we have been doing our best and keep praying for the extra miracle. If Jack doesn't get admitted tomorrow, that will be our miracle. However, whatever is best for him we will do. Thank you all again for always keeping us in your prayers.

God Bless Everyone and Merry Christmas!
