Day 17……Merry Christmas
December 26th, 2009
Special Christmas for some really special people!!
Merry Christmas from Qingdao China everyone;
Today started off with the Dr. visits then PT. The nurses came in in the early afternoon and put London’s iv in for her Lumbar stem cell treatment scheduled for 8:30 PM. London had woke up this morning at 5:30 AM so we decided to take a little nap. After that we had the day off until time for our little Christmas party for all the kids and family’s in the VIP ward having stem cell treatments. Today’s photo is our wonderful friends we are sharing this holiday season with and we have become sort of a big stem cell family. For Christmas dinner we shared pizza and chicken. Not the usual feast we would have had on Christmas day but enjoyed our time together in a foreign land. The kids all had gifts to open from each family. It was special for the kids and we created our own little Christmas and were reminded why we are all here and the blessings we all have in our lives.
London (and others) had to eat 2 hours before stem cell transfer so we scheduled the meal around the patients who had to eat early so they could all enjoy! Then just about time for her to get ready they came in and told us the plane could not make it to our hospital so our treatment scheduled for Christmas day is canceled until Monday. Yugg we were a bit disappointed but what can you do?? So we visited with everyone a couple more hours and now we are in the room relaxing.
WE have the next two days off and Sunday we are planning to get out of the Hospital for a few hours.
Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and we love and miss you all. God Bless each and every one of you. May you have the most blessed Christmas ever.
From Qingdao China Merry Christmas; London, Jessie and Ruby

Great picture even though Christmas was different for you this year, I can’t imagine a more blessed day knowing that London may one day be able to see all the beautiful pictures you have taken of her journey. I love you guys, be safe.
