Merry Christmas!

Just wanted to take a quick moment and wish everyone a very Blessed & Merry Christmas! Scott is doing great recovering from his shoulder surgery. He's o.k. spacing out his pain meds to about every 6 hours or so until he moves the wrong way. January 3rd he begins physical therapy.

Riley is doing great, too. Thursday winter break began and she is having fun playing some new vtech smile games. We let them "open" one of their Christmas presents today - goldfish! One is orange and the other is white. Their names are Annie and Sandy. I would show you a picture, but our camera died this morning. Actually, its a known problem with the camera we have and they'll fix it for free. I just have to be without a camera for 2-3 weeks. Just in time for Christmas...

Shelby is doing o.k., too. She seems to be getting over her cold slowly, but surely. This coming Wednesday at RMH she'll be having an upper endoscopy (scope) to check for varices in her esophagus. Please say prayers for her. She was so excited when we left clinic on the 13th, exclamining "no more shots, no more x-rays, no more needles for a llllooonnnnggg time!" We'll, baby, I hate to tell you, but there will be needles this week. Its a fairly quick procedure, but the results could be the beginning of the long road to transplant OR she could continue her smooth sailing. Her repeat labs will be drawn while she's under the anesthesia, so at least she won't feel the needle. She'll probably wonder why the band-aid is there, though.

Please also continue to pray for our little friend Annika and her family.

Holding my breath, waiting to hear the results of today's scope. Hoping you hear nothing but good news for sweet Shelby.
