Happy New Year!! Christmas sure did fly by this year. I'm currently in the hospital. I've been here since Saturday. My stomach/admominal pains have been hurting and my low white blood count and anemia are acting up. One of the doctors plans to put me on water therapy. I do not like to swim but I'll tread water next to a bunch of grandmas.
I'll either get to go home tomorrow or Thursday. David brought up my laptop today so I finally have communication with the outside world.
Christmas was nice. Christmas Eve day we spent with my mom and stepdad at my step aunt's house. Then we spent Christmas Eve with David's mom, brother and his aunt/cousins. David and I went to the Christmas Eve church service at 7:30, which was beautiful! Christmas morning we drove up to my grandma's in Conroe. My dad, stepmom and brother were there. My stepmom made this fabulous gluten-free dinner that I could eat and enjoy. Even the desert was gluten-free and very yummy. Veronica also made me some gluten-free chocolate chip cookies which I loved. I wasn't feeling too great because of the running around I did for three days so we left my grandma's around 2:00 and came home. I've had a few problems here and there. We were hoping 2009 would keep me out of the hospital but so far it's not happening. As long as I'm well by the middle of February when we go on vacation.
My hair is starting to finally grow back. It's coming in slowly and very gray. I'll have to color it soon.
