Dear Santa,

Colesy realized last night that it was her last chance to write to Santa before Christmas day arrived. She frantically looked for pen and paper and wrote the following note - which I was NOT to read. She rolled it up scroll style and tied it with a ribbon. When we got home from Grams house, she put it IN the tree.
It is HYSTERICAL!!!

Dear Santa,
I was wondering if you could by any chance get me a globe, book and Doll. I know you are a very busy man so if it makes it easy for yourself, just get me some cash please. and a game if you could. I will be very grateful for everything.
Love, your friend Colesy
Anything else would be fine. if you want to.

Christmas Eve

Lunch by candlelight!
and Breakfast too! (You may notice that Colesy had pizza for both meals... at least she is eating!)




Again, Netflix instant movies saved the day! Everyone chilled out on the couch for a couple of days!


Colesy revisits the hospital


Shelby had to get up EARLY with Daddy (who slept in on purpose) so she could ride to work with Daddy and then Grammy and Papa brought her to the hospital so she could see Colesy before JoLynn picked her up to take her to school. It was a long morning. for all of us! And can I just say THANK YOU for my new computer which saved the day in multiple ways, and to mom and dad for Netflix!




24 hours with the IV in made a world of difference for Colesy. Shelby was happy to see her sister.



Misc stuff!

So, we were all sitting around the other day, and Damien was alseep on the couch. He moved his paw while sleeping and got it stuck in his mouth somehow... anyhow, he is completely asleep! He just looks angry! :)
He likes to sit on the couch with us. Shelby was relaxing the other afternoon, and Damien decided that he wanted to lay on the couch with her - or, ON her!

These are the girls first snowmen of the season. That's the way I like em!

Update on Colesy

I need to get the camera and down load some photos of the past month, but maybe later.

Colesy had her tonsil surgery on the 1st. That was a Tuesday. she came home later that same day, after doing a super job! She came back to the room so bright eyed that I didnt even know she had been put under!

She continued to get better and went to Grammys on Friday where she had a great day and ate and drank a lot. over the weekend however, she stopped. stopped eating, stopped drinking, stopped talking. stopped moving.... So Monday morning, I sent her back with Grammy and then called the doctor when they opened. Rene wanted to see her "right away". And so we got colesy up to DuBois and Rene looked at her and said, "she needs an IV" So, we went to the hospital an dhad an IV for 24 hours. We got discharged in time to get Shelby from school. That night was the school Christmas concert, so we went home, where Colesy slept for 2 hours. We went to the concert, (shelby did a great job!) and then came home. Colesy slept a good 12 hours that night and by Thurday she was taking no meds and Friday she ate pizza for lunch.

Today was her check up and Rene said she looked so good that she never needed to see her again - regarding her tonsils!

We went to Taco Bell for lunch and then got back to school in time for recess. at 12:45, 1st-4th grades went on a field trip to a nearby retirement home to sing carols and hand out cards they had made. Becky went along as a driver. Not too long after they left, Colesy and Becky were in the office. Both stood there looking at me. I said "Is everything alright?" Becky said "It is now."
Apparently, Colesy passed out COLD while singing. Becky said it was freaky because her eyes were open the whole time, and she had a creepy little smile on her face. Michelle just scooped her up off the floor and carried her out where there was fresh air.

It was very warm in the home, and she said she was dizzy.

I called Uncle Jim and they said she was fine, to just keep an eye on her.

What a day! We were all able to laugh at the series of events later on.

Off to bed we go. Hopefully tomorrow will be uneventful!

Hopefully (not likely) things will slow down so I can get stuff done- including getting the page updated. I know it has been too long since I posted. Sorry!

DCS held its first annual Geography Bee today. Shelby took first for the fourth grade class! She was AWESOME!!!!!!
