I can not believe it is a new year. This past year went by really fast. Maybe because we spent more time in the hospital than anticipated :)
We had a really good Christmas. We were very blessed by individuals, companies and organizations who wanted to help make our Christmas a good one. The kids had an amazing Christmas!! We actually pull off a very fun surprise. Christmas morning was "normal". They had Santa gifts, and gifts from John and I and other family members. They were excited and all got some things they wanted. Santa brought every one a "need, a want, a wear and a read". That was really fun and I think we will ask him to do that every year.
Then Christmas night when they went to bed John and I pulled out gifts for another Christmas. We really wanted them to know what Christmas would be like with out the blessings and love of other people. So, for one day that is what it was. And it was good. Then Isaiah woke up Dec. 26 and came into my room and told me that there were more presents under the tree. I told him he was dreaming and to go back to bed :) It didn't work. So, at 7 am we got up for another Christmas. Abby did not believe him but got up any ways just to see. The kids were all SO excited and it was so so fun to watch them be surprised and get more presents. It was an amazing Christmas. We also went and looked at Temple Square lights that night. We love doing that.
So, an update on John: He is doing ok. He has had colds off and on for a few weeks. He had a regular clinic appt early last week and they said if his cold got worse to come in. So, we went in on Friday because it was getting worse. And he has had a low grade fever that is not going away. They ran a bunch of tests and he has metapneumovirus. It is basically a chest cold. And they can't really do anything for him. Although they do want to give him IVIG (basically an immune system booster of antibodies). That should help him fight it better. He feels ok, just has a cold.
He is definitely getting his appetite back and eating better. He still has feet swelling some days, but it isn't bad. Other than that nothing new. Which is good. We like to be boring.
We did have out 17th wedding anniversary on Dec. 27. We didn't really do anything. John had this cold and kids were out of school. We had in n out for dinner and played games. This week we are going to Midway to see the Ice Castles and go out to eat though.
HAPPY NEW YEAR! We are hoping for a healthier year and less hospital stays - like 0 would be great :)
