Christmas 2011

It was a bittersweet Christmas this year. After a couple of fun days, Grandma Sandy started to not feel well. At first we thought it was just side effects from her chemo on Tuesday and her oncologist recommended she go into the ER for fluids. When she got there, they found a bowel obstruction (a problem she's had before). Unfortunately, this meant they had to admit her to the hospital. She spent most of Friday and all of Saturday in the hospital. Not exactly how she envisioned her visit going. :(

The good news is that she was released early this morning and was able to spend Christmas Day with all of us! Rylee was especially excited to see her (since we hadn't brought her to the hospital to visit). Today when I asked Rylee what her "favorite Christmas gift" was she said "spending it with Grandma Sandy." :)

I have tons of pictures to go through so expect the "12 Days of Christmas" posting to commence soon. Merry Christmas everyone!

Glad to hear Sandy is ok and was able to make it "home" in time to celebrate Christmas. We joke at our house that it isn't a family holiday if someone doesn't end up in the ER or plain ol' sick (many years of trips with aging Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents, etc.).

Hope Santa was good to the household. Can't wait to see/hear how Rylee enjoyed it.

Ah geez, that's too bad she had to go to the hospital! Glad she was well enough to be back in time for Christmas Day!
