A Special Lady, A Long Week

Well, I just posted my thoughts in the past 3 entries, that I actually typed a week ago in the car. We thought we were on our way to Indiana and then on to Jamaica. We were wrong :). We got the call that Steve's mom was on her way back to the hospital. She would not wake up that morning. She didn't wake up until Tuesday or Wednesday... it's hard to remember which day what happened. We came on to Michigan by Sunday and have been here since. What a week! What a journey! It was so sad to see her with so many tubes and machines. After waking up she was very confused, yet knew the family around her. Today, she looks so good, especially compared to a week ago. We had a "Christmas party" at the hospital last night while so many family were able to be there. She enjoyed taking it all in! Thanks so much for your continued prayers for her and the family! This cirrhosis thing is a crazy disease we are learning so much about! Here's the tired, yet still crazy :), bunch! ...it's missing Ryan who headed to Indiana on Thursday after many long days hanging out at the hospital! Thanks to the McCarty's for giving him some "normalcy"!Merry Christmas to you, our faithful blog readers!!!!
