Saturday's Good News

HEATH called me this evening!! He was on Carrie's lap watching the NC State basketball game and he decided to call his "Gran Sarah". He even talked to me a little bit before a giggling Carrie took the phone. She said Heath loves to play with her phone and the next thing she knew the phone said, "Connected to Sarah Christie". What a great way to receive good news!

Heath had another good day. He had just finished another bottle and had a jar of applesauce. Heath was flirting with the nurses and had lots of smiles! He no longer has a pic line! The only "connections" he has are his heart monitor leads and the O2 meter on his toe! Wow!

Chris stayed with him last night, which unfortunately proved to be a restless night due to Heath's pic line moving around and setting off alarms. However, Carrie is going to stay with Heath tonight and most of the day tomorrow. Grandma Pat is going to have some Heath time this evening and give Carrie a dinner break.

Carrie's mom and brother got lots of things done for Carrie at her house today. Christmas decorations are put away, laundry is done and the house is cleaned. What a gift!

Carrie had some wonderful time with Ella Brooks today as they joined Aunt Sarah for a girls lunch. Good medicine for everyone.

Carrie hopes to send me some recent pictures of Heath. I look forward to posting those and continuing to report good news!

With continued gratefulness,
"Gran" Sarah
