Well, what a difference 24 hours can make. Michellie has spent the day up and around. She is laughing and joking and eating too. We are soooo happy to see her smile. The afternoon was given a huge boost when Auntie Char's crazy package arrived! We don't know how the nap sack got zipped up, but we could not get everything back in. So, we now have books and games for guests when Michellie tires of people - she just gives them a task and that will keep them out of her hair! We received the care package from the Dance Debut dancers as well, Michellie loved all of your crazy cards and wishes. There was some great art work too! And for all the many people who have been a part of prayer circles and wishes abundant, you can all be relieved to know that the size of the tumor in her neck has already gone down, and she can feel her collarbone again. The doctor is very pleased and has granted Michellie a pass to leave the hospital tonight and get a good night's rest out of the hospital bed. She has not had any pain killers for almost 48 hours, and even is leaving a break from the nausea pills as well. We thank everyone for their thoughts and wishes, as we know the power of the incredible love you have shared, is making a huge difference for Michellie, her family, and those around us as well.
When we leave the hospital in the next few hours, or day or so, we will not be able to connect quite so easily by the internet. We will do our best to keep everyone updated, but no news will be good news. We wish you all wonderful fun for the next few days with your loved ones and friends, and all the best for safe travelling and health. Merry Christmas Everyone and we hope that your stockings are full of surprises, and your dreams are achieved.
Love to you all,
Michelle, Michellie, David and MacKenzie
