Christmas Eve

I just got back from the hospital. It is 9:00 on Christmas Eve
morning. Mom's ANC count was up to .8 so the doctor said she could
go home. Mom is feeling quite tired today. She didn't rest
yesterday afternoon but worked on her computer writing some letters
to people and then we kept her busy on Skype for most of the
evening. She had her first restless night last night. It seems like
it is really time to go rest in her own bed. I am getting Cami and
Ashlee to go with me to undecorate her room and haul out all the
"extras" we put in her room. Some of the nurses have volunteered to
help us. All the nurses that have worked with mom are excited that
"Lula Belle" gets to go home. I will let you know how tired mom is
and maybe make a suggestion or two about phone calls and visits after
we get her settled in. She does need to be up and moving to get her
energy back, but she also needs to be able to rest enough for the
same reason. She is feeling just fine about being home on Christmas
Eve and doesn't want anyone to worry about her or feel sorry for
her. I think she will probably sleep most of the afternoon, because
she really looked tired. I will spend the night with her and
Marshall and Nikki will stop by in the morning before they go to the
airport.
