Arnie has continued to improve. There are very uncomfortable moments, but all in all he's headed in the right direction. Hopefully they will let him out of the hospital sometime tomorrow and we will go home on Tuesday. Arnie will need one more surgery in about 3 months, so we know we aren't saying goodbye to this place forever, right now the idea of coming back is a little overwhelming. He should feel good between now and then and our next visit should be shorter and the operation much less complicated. We are trusting that the doctor has this under control, there is a reason this department is number one in the country and we are very thankful to be here.
We miss the girls like crazy and know are missing us, but they're having a great time at home. We're so thankful for all the distractions they've had the last week. I'm also really grateful for technology, the ability to FaceTime and to receive and send pictures instantly makes the distance more manageable.

| We have great neighbors! They have been picking up our girls for school every day since we left and sending me pictures :) |

The other day I ordered Arnie Banana Bread from the hospital cafeteria. On the tray there were 2 pieces of actual banana bread and this...
I'm not sure if they were confused by my order or trying to be funny. Either way, it made me laugh. |
On Saturday Aunt Trisha and Uncle Jeff had their annual Cousins Christmas Party....as always, great fun was had by all!

| If you look closely you'll notice they have matching wrinkles on their forehead :) |
 |
| Dick and Betti had my mom and the girls over for dinner tonight....both of their Grandma's in one room, I bet the kids hated that :) |

| Haddie got a new tooth since we left! I guess she will have 3 front teeth for Christmas. |
