Tonight is Christmas Eve and Mom is spending the night in the hospital with Dad. I just got off the phone with her and she said they had all the lights dimmed listening to Christmas music and reading a story given to them in an email from Jim Smart. They have got quite a decorated room there as well with all the flowers, poinsettias and other Christmas decorations people have sent. They did have one visitor today (after yesterdays full day of vistors) from Dad's sister Jill and her husband Jim as they were making their way back to Redondo Beach, CA. I don't remember the exact number but Dad did take some steps today that the therapists were very encouraged about. He finished his last interveneous treatment last night, but they want him to be walking on his own before he leaves the hospital. They are hoping to get Dad into the physical therapy down in Utah County so he can return to home (or at least close to home). We had our annual Christmas Eve morning breakfast this morning up in Midway and all the grandkids opened up their presents from each other as well as our presents to each other. We missed having Mom and Dad there, but we took plenty of video of the action that we will show to them tomorrow on Christmas.
