I am very thankful she was able to be home for most of Christmas day. We wanted so much for her to be home to open presents and eat with us. I loved seeing her eyes light up when she saw the gifts under the tree. I treasured every moment with the kids this year, especially Abby. We all know that it will take a miracle for her to be with us next year. We are praying for that miracle, while we make a point to treasure every moment we have with her. It is so hard to face the reality that this may be our last year with her, and still enjoy the time we have. I can honestly say we are doing that very thing, but we need your prayers for strength and wisdom to continue to enjoy the time we have.
Samrawit and I (Michelle) are at the hospital with Abby. Most of our pictures are on Brent's camera at home, but I want to share a few of the pictures that I have with me. Thank you all so much for your prayers and encouragement. You are a blessing. Money is tight, because of medical expenses and free time to shop is nonexistent, but our kids had more gifts this year than ever before.
Abby, Dane and Sami. The girls love their oldest brother.

Those Christmas memories are precious, and we are praying that God will heal Abby so that she may have many more Christmas memories with you.
Of Course I love so much seeing these pictures of all your family on Christmas Day. I can't believe we may miss you again in my own hood. I know every minute was special for me this year just having both my kids home....and then Jagger showing off by walking....but I can only imagine how special it was for you too....becasue you have all your kids home....first Christmas with Sammy and the fact you love Abby so much and every secoun with her from here on out will be a blessing.
Over here...My husband is the WAKE UP POLICE...as I call him and made me and the kids get up at 7 am to try to beat everyone else to the park so we could try to get on the Toy Story Ride at Hollywood Disney...I have tons of secrets and tips for you when Abby gets her wish....it did work and not only did we get to finally ride that...there were no lines for Playhouse Disney or Mermaid...we then had lunch with JoJo's circus and just woke up from naps...I can not wait for your family to live this dream. HUGS
