Alright, I am sure you guys will be able to tell the difference right away, so I am just going to tell you now that Ka'eo is writing the blog tonight and tomorrow. Gabby had to work crazy hours at the hospital over the weekend, so I followed up with Don and told Gabby she can have the next couple of nights off. I do not possess the same skills as Gabby does in explaining the medical details, so bear with the fact that tonight and tomorrow will be brief and to the point.

Today was a cruise day for Christy and Donald. She did not have any PT or OT scheduled and only needed to check in periodically for some drug treatments. She was allowed to spend the day in the family apartment that Donald has been staying in. Donald cooked up quite the feast for his wife, Alan and his boyfriend Luis. We all know that Donald is a good cook, so rest assured that Christy had some grinds and ate until her hearts content. She suffered from "kanak attack" immediately following because both Don and Christy took a nice long nap during the middle of the day.

Sunday plans to be similar to today. They are going to spend the day at the apartment again where some of Donald's co-workers family plans to stop by with Olive Garden for lunch. Alan and Luis plan to join them again tomorrow. So, I am sure there will be a lot of eating, sleeping and cuddling for Christy and Donald. Christy is very happy about getting to crash in a normal bed and sleep in the fetal position like she normally does. That has always been her favorite way to sleep and it has to have been killing her having to sleep on her back all of the time.

I promised brief and to the point. Sorry there were no pictures, but we should have some more to post tomorrow night. Until tomorrow night, sleep tight and continue to pray for Christy's recovery. She is making progress every day and has only been at it for a couple of weeks now. The doctor's and nurses at Craig continue to be amazed by her progress. Donald keeps telling the Doc's that the prayers/energy coming from Christy's family and friends is what has pushed her this far and will continue to push her all the way to complete recovery.
