It doesn't feel like Christmas to me...probably because I didn't do much shopping before the diagnosis and travel to this hospital. Andy has bought some things, but we're doing a lot of gift cards for the children this year. I don't have any decorations up in the hospital room because I didn't think we'd be here this long! We'll probably get back to our 6-month place on Tuesday (1 week after we were readmitted to the hospital). At least I've got a strand of Christmas lights there.
One child on our hospital floor has an awesome hot pink metallic tree in her window with bright red lights. At night, when we're doing our endless walking circuit, I feel some Christmas when I see that tree. We're still walking around and around and around the floor. It makes the baby happy (not whining from boredom) and it makes up for me not getting to the gym. It's just not the same intensity as the bike class ;)
Today I saw yet another family from our hometown. Their daughter was critically injured a week or two ago, and I had seen the story in our newspaper online, but didn't realize she's on the same floor as us! I actually met the mom the day before we went to the ER and found everything out. What a crazy month December has been.
I can't wait to see my family later this week. They're going a little stir-crazy as well.
