Christian did have a fun day though. He started it out by going for a walk and was met by 5 guide dogs. he didn't want to pet them all, but as part of his physical therapy, he made the circle and pet all of them. Then, when we made it back to the room, he was visited by real race car drivers who brought him a remote control race car and a photo of them driving their car! He was SO excited!
A great person has decided to put on a comedy show in Christian's honor to help with bills and other expenses that have accumulated over his hospital stay. We would love for all of our friends and family to join us for a night of much needed laughter and fun December 23rd in Bend... Here is a link to the rough draft poster... http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150600478032846&set=p.10150600478032846&type=1&theater
I hope to see all of you there, and we will update again tomorrow! Also, I have started writing a Christmas letter, so please send me your address so that I can put one in the mail for you! nruwaldt@yahoo.com

Not too sure about the puppy...
He liked the more calm full grown dog Leif
Hi Nicole,
ReplyDeleteWhat a great, "newsy" blog update. I love it! Yea - goodby ICU!! By now you should be seeing glimpses of a light at the end of this tunnel.
Nicole, take some time to scroll down your own blog to the day after surgery. (Saturday I think?) It will give you renewed perspective in seeing just how far your little guy has come! I know you must be sooo ready to be back at home in your own environment again.
We are all thinking of you and pulling for you. Tell Christian that Gabriel, Joshua, Benjamin, and especially Sam are ALL anxious to see him again. When he feels up to it, he can come play with Sam. Or maybe Sam could come over and watch a movie with him? Friends do seem to make life sweeter!
Still praying for you all -
Tim, Ali, Gabriel, Joshua, Benjamin, & Samuel
