A great Christmas Eve

Kristy and I had a great day today that started with a bit of worry. We were enjoying our lunch from Panda Express when the nurse stopped by with a wheelchair to say that the doc wanted us to go next door to get an ultrasound. This was something new, as L had always stopped by the room. Needless to say, in our anxious little minds, we assumed something was wrong, but Kristy rode over to the office (just a 100 yards or so) for the procedure. In the meantime, the doc and L's daughter Abigail put up a festive paper chain across our room. Once again, our anxiety was unfounded and we definitely appreciate the new decoration.

The second good news of the day came during the ultrasound. Jack showed more fluid than he has since we were admitted. L also put on the 4D and we have some good pictures that we'll post later.

The last surprise of the day came while Kristy was being monitored in the afternoon (which was calm). We heard a knock and I answered and looked out to someone saying 'he has no idea who we are...'. It turned out to be Andy and Kelly Smith. Andy is replacing Kristy's position for this year and Kelly is a teacher at the school. They dropped off some cards from Kristy's students. You can see them (on the cabinets) and the paper chain in the pic below. As you can imagine, Kristy's spirits today were quite high.

In the spirit of Christmas and thanks to Kristy's dad saying that I should post off-the-wall thoughts, I just finished a great book for those that are interested in a thought-provoking, rational discussion of Christianity. It's called 'What's so great about Christianity' by D'Souza.

Merry Christmas.
