This week has been fair. Sarah gets out a little bit, but can't take much, both physicially and irritation.

She has done some Christmas shopping. Her and Ronnie went to Ogden today for a couple of hours. Ronnie & Sarah wrapped presents yesterday. They plan on putting ornaments on their tree tomorrow.

She continues with headaches and not feeling well, but continues to try.

We just wait until Jan. and see what they have to say.

We have our family Christmas on Christmas Eve. I am excited to spend time with the whole family this week.

Sorry I havn't been updating.

Sarah is doing better. We finally got her insides going and regulated, but she has some
bad side effects from her meds. (Anti-seizure, and steriod). She is being tapered off the
steriods and hopefully they will cut back on the other soon.

They moved the appt. to the middle of January for us to find out more. I really think
this is good, so that we can enjoy Christmas. It is slow growing so I think they aren't
worried about the wait.

Just last week she started sleeping thru the night and feeling better. 2 weeks ago she visited the senior center for the first time. She was only there for a few minutes, but it did her good to
see some of the seniors. She misses them so much.

She went to our family party last night and I think she enjoyed it. She even lasted about 2 hours, but then had to go home. She did well with the noise. It seems as though the brain is not as irritated as it was and she can stand a lot more activity around her.

Again, we thank you for your prayers, concerns, meals, and all the rest. It has helped take
a lot of the stress off. We never knew we had so many friends and supporters of this
young family. Please continue to pray that good news follows in January and if they decide to tx.
it that all goes well. There are more long steps to continue this journey.

P.S. The kids are doing well. They are so adjusted anyway and to see their parents and family's support - they know as a family we can tackle anything.

Thanks again,
