Not much to write about on here that I haven't written about on Elijah's website. What is going on with him is pretty much what I have been doing. I did have a huge weight lifted last week though. My catastrophic leave through my empoloyer was extended through January 8th which means I will be able to keep taking care of Elijah until then.. After that point, I will have to return to work in some capacity. I am praying that he is to a point in treatment where I will feel comfortable going back to work. I think I need to be working. I need to have something to think about and talk about other than what is going on with Elijah.
I have been looking at things on line to continue fixing up our house. I am really excited about Christmas this year. I would love to be able to have our home feel warm and full of holiday spirit. I want this to be a Christmas full of meaning, not just presents.
Thanksgiving has never been much of an important day to me. I think it's because so much of what the Holiday is all about has been lost. It has become more of a family obligation than a reason to give thanks for your blessings. I think we should all give thanks every day - not just one day a year. Now that one day a year just seems to be a hassle.. I wasn't really bothered by the fact that we would be in the hospital for Thanksgiving until yesterday. My in laws were down yesterday and my Father in Law said they would like to come down here and eat Thanksgiving dinner with us in the hospital because so we could all be together. It really touched my heart and made me look at Thanksgiving in a bit of a different light. It's a blessing just to get to be together and share family time. I need to look at it that way instead of an obligation. I am very lucky to be part of the family I married in to. So.. this Thursday I will be giving thanks for many things.. For Elijah's healing, for my family, for being able to be on leave to take care of Elijah, for Britt, and for good things to come for our family.

I agree whole heartedly!
Hoor ay for the extension of pay. What a relief, I'm sure. I know things will work out magically for January 8th.
You are doing an amazing job. In life. Period.
I agree, also.
Wonderful thoughts.
I will actually be giving thanks on Thursday also.
Thanks for sharing.
