Christmas Review

Oh how I wish I had the time to write of all our joys and struggles and how the Lord provides and sustains. We had a wonderful Christmas, at HOME with our WHOLE family! Last year Graham was in the hospital and we had take out Chinese in the hospital for Christmas dinner. Praise God for allowing us to spend this Christmas together at home.

My (Liz's) parents and brother came and spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with us. My mom prepared some delicious meals for us and my brother got a good dose of birth control from being around my three kiddos. We attended Christmas Eve service at our church for the first time and enjoyed that.

After Christmas we traveled to Matt's parents for a couple nights. This was our first time traveling with Graham since he has had the ventilator and gtube. We had no nursing while we were there so we were busy and tired. But it was nice to be there with all of Matt's family. Nothing went catastrophically wrong, we didn't forget any important equipment or meds and we had no equipment failures. Graham did get a few impressive booboos from his cousins. But all in all it was mostly a successful trip.
