We have had a really good few days. It has been great to have 4 days at home together without any trips to the hospital. We went out to eat with Mamaw, Papaw and Aunt Ashley on Thanksgiving and enjoyed a relaxed meal with no cooking (I wasn't a good cook before Kara's diagnosis, and that certainly hasn't improved since) and no dishes. Sean ate really well and Kara's appetite has improved in recent days. As we said, we have much to be thankful for and it was a special day to remember that.

Friday and Saturday were busy days... Christmas bins into the house (we are decorating with extra enthusiasm this year), Larry cleaned out and organized the entire garage, Mamaw and I did yardwork (our neighbors may have thought they were seeing things with me out there with a hedgetrimmer... has been well over a year since I've tried to do anything with the yard). Kara is back on a Trouble kick, so we took time out to play when she asked. It's good therapy for her and she really perks up to compete, especially to get her brother. :)

Tomorrow morning, Kara goes back to AI to see the eye doctor for a recheck. We still feel she has been doing well since her eye surgery in June, we'll see if Dr. Salvin agrees. Looking forward to turning the calendar another month first thing tomorrow!

Love, Bonnie
