Christmas at Freeport ........ Different but Perfect!!!!!!!!


So Christmas this year was different ....... Everyone came up Chistmas Eve to the hospital and we ordered pizza and chicken wings (non traditional Christmas dinner) but it was perfect.  I got to watch Jackson, Noah, Owen and Maddie and Alyssa open there gifts from eachother.  It's so much fun watching there facial expressions when they open there gifts.  It sure was hectic in my room with everyone but I wouldn't have spent it any other way.  When the kids got antsy someone would take them for a walk down hall, all the old people on my floor loved seeing the kids, they said it brightened there day.  

Christmas Day, my parents and Becca came up and Dan and Alyssa and we just had snacky foods for lunch.  It again was perfect.  Nothing about Christmas this year was traditional, but next year will be different.  My mom promised that when I get home we can have a big turkey dinner.  I know Dan will look forward to that lol.  

On Chirstmas morning I was able to FaceTime with Dan and kids and I could watch them open presents from Santa and us.  It was so cute because every present Owen opened he would come right up to the camera and show me.  Dan also took iPad upstairs in morning to wake Owen up with a Christmas song, Owen just jumped out of bed and ran downstairs lol.  Alyssa woke up shortly after and Dan took iPad upstairs so she could see me right when she woke up.  When she saw me she had a huge smile on her face, it was so cute.  

Yesterday, Dan came up for the afternoon and into the night, we had some great laughs and then of course he shopped on kijijii lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Sarah Pelletier stopped in for a visit just as Dan was leaving, it was nice catching up and sharing stories.  

Here are a few Christmas pics to enjoy:

Merry Christmas !!!!!

FRIDAY DECEMBER 19TH 2014 @ 9:15am: dropped munchie off at daycare and I'm relaxing on the couch with a Starbucks and watching a Christmas Movie HOW   I   FEEL : wishing this cold would go away, it's been almost 2 weeks and I think it's overstayed it's welcome lol ACTUALLY it never was welcomed haha I just realized I haven't updated my blog since Alyssa's birthday; that's over a month ago.  I'm horrible at keeping it up to date, I always say I promise I will get better at this but it hasn't happened yet.  Maybe in the New Year ???? I can't believe Christmas is NEXT WEEK .... it doesn't feel like Christmas at all; maybe that's because our weather has been so bizarre the last few weeks and we don't have any snow.   I've been doing a lot of thinking the last few days about where I was last year and how far I have come.  This is a special Christmas for me because I get to be home with my family and Christmas morning I can...

YACC Retreat and Munchie's Birthday :):)

MONDAY NOVEMBER 24TH 2014 @ 3:00pm: relaxing and going to pick Alyssa up from daycare shortly HOW   I   FEEL : tired I've been sitting here for the last half an hour or so staring at this computer screen trying to decide where to start with this blog post.  I have so much I want to share just unsure where to start.  I guess I'll start here ---- 7 days ago I got the privilege of attending the Young Adults with Cancer Retreat in Cobourg.  Dan and I got to spend 5 days there with a group of 35 AMAZING people.  I was a little unsure of what to expect going to this but after speaking with people who had attended prior retreats and told me it changed their lives completely, I knew I had to go and see it for myself.  The first day I found really intense; we sat in a circle all 35 of us and gave a brief introduction of ourselves and our journey.  I remember that night when I went to bed I thought to myself ‘holy shit, th...

Quick Update

So just a quick update, I am back to daily packing and daily nurse visits.  I was so happy and lucky to get my old nurse back, it makes it much easier so I don't need to repeat my story over again.  Maggie is amazing and excellent with wound care, so I know I'm well taken care of.  I am once again on antibiotics because we believe an infection is starting, better safe then sorry I guess.  I am starting to get all to familiar with antibiotics and wound care products.  I am trying to remain positive even though I am extremely frustrated and angry that this has happened again.  I went to physio today and part of my upper body exercises was to punch a bag with weights in my hands to relieve some frustration and stress.  BOY did it feel good lol! Exactly what I needed.  Now to take it easy, relax whenever possible and try to let this wound heal and hopefully quickly.
