Dec 24th and Christmas is coming every day to the Stauffer household! Yesterday we celebrated Christmas with Julie and Eric, ate too much pork & sauerkraut, and received many calls and visits (no further than the doorway). Neighbors and friends bringing gifts, home nursing people picking up and dropping off supplies and many phone calls. What a beautiful day! Many tears upon Julie & Eric leaving last night, but we had a great visit and viewed all of the latest Ruby shots on our new digital frame.
Today, more requests from us to home nursing for supplies that I thought would be delivered yesterday. They did deliver 1 part of the order, I just never looked at it until last night. Adele's peresis catheter is still weeping blood and needs to be changed every day. This morning she had blood on her PJs and we decided that the entrance wound, which is just super glued shut, is now bleeding a drop or so, so we covered it with a bandage.
Today I go to Tom & Shannon's for dinner and a church service where Kaelyn is singing. It is icy now, but the weather guys say 47 degrees later - so we should get mere rain for the rest of the day. Mom & Dad are scheduled to go with me - picking them up at 12:30 - to go to the big Christmas Party celebrating Jesus' Birth. What a glorious time of the year.
Merry Christmas to all - Keep Jesus in your heart
and You will find much Joy in this season.
Love ya all - Rick & Adele

Dear Adele and Rick,
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas from Martha in Florida! Betty is glad she can be with you today, Adele. I know all is not as you planned and hoped for, but remember we keep looking for the good in each day. You are loved by many people and I know the new pictures of Ruby are adorable. I'll be keeping in touch when you are back at Johns Hopkins. Much love and prayers to you.
Martha
