Christmas Eve Eve



Par had a rough morning--we had told him Santa was coming to visit him--he thought we meant today--when he found out it wasn't today--he was very upset.

Par's oxygen was weaned today--yay! They weaned it to 100--if he continues to sat well (between 98-100) then they will try him at room air in a day or so. This shouldn't be any hold up on leaving--either we go home on oxygen or we go home not on oxygen--either way, we go home--it is so close.

Remember the last week of school your senior year of high school--that is what it feels like--I still have to leave Par each night and the nurses are still "in charge" of him--but soon enough we'll be FREE--I think even Par can feel something coming.



We thought Dr. Kays was returning today--but he isn't back until Wednesday--we hope he has had wonderful holiday (and that he'll hurry home to kiss us goodbye!)

Today was just another day of eating and sleeping--and looking at the cutest baby in the world! He did really well eating--it is hard to believe he ever had trouble--he is a pro now--still the hungry hungry hippo!



Of course, we continue to pray for Par's friends and to thank God for every blessing--including the gift of knowing His Son--we wait in joyful hope for the celebration of our Savior's birth.

May God bless you.
Love,
Liz, Rusty & Par

I love the pictures. I really think Par looks alot like his dad. The excitment of going home must be unreal. We are going to Memaw's in a little while and each of you will be missed. Please know that we are with you in Spirit as you go through this first Christmas with the most precious gift you will ever receive. Love and blessings, Jim and Sheila
