Merry Christmas one day late!
We had the most wonderful Christmas imaginable. I put a small fake tree in Kristi's room and brought all of the family gifts up for opening. We had Steven, Mark and my Dad as well as us girls. Kristi felt well enough to put on her new PJs and to try on a new shirt that was also a gift. She was happy and smiling which was the best present that any of us could have asked for. It is more than wonderful to see her engage in life! We were very blessed to get to have a special dinner with some friends that have of Kristi's who have now adopted me too.
I had gotten her a new camera for her birthday so we played with that too - took some pictures and some videos and we are just getting ready for a friendly game of domino's (playing for pennies).
She is still on the ventilator but continues to build her strength and I no longer ask how much longer. I have learned - my impatient self -there are no time lines . I am hopeful that one day soon I will just walk into her room and it will be gone.
I sincerely hope that you all are having a magical holiday season!!!!!!!
Thank you all for your continued thoughts, prayers and ongoing outreach - You will never know how much it has helped us all deal with these crazy days.
Love you all!!!!
Kristi, Jayme, Markie and Stevo

Hi guys, good to hear that Christmas was fun and that so many of you were able to come together. We are up in Tahoe with a revolving door of visitors. You guys will have to join us up here someday. Don and a friend hiked up to Eagle Lake then across the lake (as it was frozen). Another friend took the kids to Sierra snow boarding and skiing. I stayed home with Nathan nursing my leg which I tweeked the first day out this season. Nothing bad but will take probably another week to heal. Good to hear of the progress!
