A few reasons to be thankful on Christmas Day

1. Hunter smiled this morning.
2. Hunter still has hair. I know I said it yesterday but we are so thankful for the little things.
3. Hunter has gifts coming out of his ears - when a visitor comes by he sticks out his hand expectantly - it's funny now but soon we will have a monster on our hands.
4. We have friends, family and even some people that have never met us - that care, pray, contribute, feed, and visit. We are overwhelmed by all the love and support and we don't have the words to express our sincere appreciation.
5. Hunter didn't get a deep leg thrombosis for Christmas.
6. We are in a wonderful children's hospital.
7. We are living in the biggest room on the cancer floor - kindness and small bribes go a long way.
8. Our room mates were lucky enough to be discharged on Christmas Eve and now we can be loud night owls again.
9. Mateo has a DVD player to replace the one Hunter threw overboard. No guarantee's on it's safe return.
10. We have a bathroom in our room. It's against the rules for the parents to use the bathroom so of course we never do - uh hum.
11. Hunter didn't have a fever after 10 pm again.
12. We have a bottle of champaign and OJ hidden in the closet.
13. The cafeteria is open until 4pm so daddy won't go hungry.
14. The parking is free on holidays.
15. We have Tempurpedic travel mats and pillows.
16. Our nurses and doctors really care. They are great people.
17. Hunter poops - seriously.

Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone!
