Christmas Eve brought more then the usual gifts. Jo was released from the hospital. We learned that morning that we would meet Jo's parents. I was so nervous... again... will they approve us? Will they be OK with us and their grand baby? Again, I need you God! I need to reassure this amazing family that we were going to take the BEST care we could of their granddaughter.
This was an emotional day, but it was special. I felt I was in the right place.
Again, I wanted to just hug and hold all those involved and thank them uncontrollably for this gift they were giving us.
Jo was our plan B, and we were hers. God you are amazing! Thank you for putting us in each others lives! I will treasure this always!
We helped Jo get home, and get somethings for stay with Lori and Don. She was so sweet and although in pain... she hobbled into Walmart with us.
After that we headed to church to see our new favorite pastor. It was an amazing service, we both broke down and cried. We were so thankful for all that was happening, we wished we were with our boys, we wish we had family with us... but we had each other and JJ. The pastor Mark Chitwood at Stonebridge Christian met us there before the service with a gift for JJ and Vivi!! Another blessing!
We made sure we were back in our room on xmas eve. Eric went to the hospital and visited Vivi, while I took care of JJ. We set out cookies and milk and settled in for the night.
Have I mentioned the weather?? Cold! Lower 40's in the afternoon and low 20's in the night. Everyone there seemed to think the weather was wonderful. We were freezing. We had to warm up the car every time we went someplace. We wore layers and gloves and hats. JJ refused to wear his winter jacket but loved his snow hat and gloves. Don, also gave JJ hand warmers which he loved.
The next day would be Christmas.... getting closer to bringing Vivi home from the hosptial!
