Well Christmas time at PCMC is NEVER boring. Everyday we have received little bags of stuff. I look out my window everyday and see truck loads being unloaded onto big carts and wheeled into the hospital. This is what we have seen the last few days.
I don't know if you can see it but this is the view from our window. The two vans down there say KJAZZ and FOX13 News.
These ones say Channel 5 News and Channel 2 News.
They were here to film this...
Really cool ice sculptures of Santa and his reindeer! They are awesome!
Kneaders Bakery fed the parents lunch two days ago...
2 Jazz players and 2 Jazz dancers came by yesterday and today......I don't know if you can see him but yep that's David Archeleta waving at us through our window. He stuck his head in and wished us all a Merry Christmas. The nurses said they had some of the mothers freaking out but the kids were cool with him.
As for Critter...he has thrown up his feeding tube two more times and has acquired a nasty infection. So between puking and running really high fevers he sleeps mostly. They have decided to keep his NG tube out for right now and run TPN (broken down proteins that go straight into his central line) to give him nutrition. We are hoping his appetite will return with his cell counts. For right now all his wants is coke. And I don't care what people think I give it to him. He will sip on one for a few hours and just before its all gone he throws it up. The docs have said even though he is on antibiotics it will probably be another day or two before he starts to feel better. I hope he feels a little better for christmas. And the next post will be a head shaving! He woke up this morning in a pile of hair. Its all over everything so we will be shaving very soon!

We missed you guys so much tonight, but it was fun to see your other boys. My boys LOVE them. They think they are the coolest kids ever. We love you guys and will continue to keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Thank you for the updates....Oh, and don't ever think anyone judges you for the coke. YOU ARE A SUPER MOM. Absolutely amazing.
