"Silent night, holy
night..."
!~!!Christmas Is Coming!!~!
Merry Christmas Eve, peoples! Watched a few movies,
opened a few presents, skyped with my husband's family (who sang to us my
favorite Christmas Song Feliz Navidad),
called my family, visited with my parents, texted with my brother upstairs. Overall, even though I was a tad emotional from my steroid being tapered down today (it always
does that to me), it was a good day!
Oh in many ways this night is so different than all
the years before... it seems so odd not to be home, around all the familiar
faces, tearing apart wrapping paper, having that holiday togetherness. Yet,
watching my husband's family on skype tonight open presents, laugh, dance, it
was a riot and I loved every minute of it. Even though we weren't there,
we were still there. Thank you, whoever invented skype. You are a lifesaver.
I'm going to spend the rest of the night cuddling
with my honey (if he'll let me ;) and checking Google periodically to see where
Santa's at in the world. Hehe ;) And tomorrow morning - we're skyping with my
dad, mom, and brother in his hospital room upstairs and having our Christmas
morning together! We'll be eating breakfast and opening presents; it'll
be grand! Means a lot to be able to do that... then later in the day we're
skyping with more of my family during their get togethers at their homes (again, thank Heaven for skype:) Christmas
may be different, I may sigh a few sighs, but the day will be perfect; just the
way it was always supposed to be. And, surprisingly, I'm still so excited about it and giddy like a little girl! CHRISTMAS!!! :D
Christmas hugs,

p.s. Oh my breathing test today, I mentioned in the last post, was the same as when I got here; didn't go up or down. I'm thinking they're going to want to keep me for a while until the numbers go up. Lord, have mercy. G'night! Sleep sweet.
