1. Hunter smiled this morning.
2. Hunter still has hair. I know I said it yesterday but we are so thankful for the little things.
3. Hunter has gifts coming out of his ears - when a visitor comes by he sticks out his hand expectantly - it's funny now but soon we will have a monster on our hands.
4. We have friends, family and even some people that have never met us - that care, pray, contribute, feed, and visit. We are overwhelmed by all the love and support and we don't have the words to express our sincere appreciation.
5. Hunter didn't get a deep leg thrombosis for Christmas.
6. We are in a wonderful children's hospital.
7. We are living in the biggest room on the cancer floor - kindness and small bribes go a long way.
8. Our room mates were lucky enough to be discharged on Christmas Eve and now we can be loud night owls again.
9. Mateo has a DVD player to replace the one Hunter threw overboard. No guarantee's on it's safe return.
10. We have a bathroom in our room. It's against the rules for the parents to use the bathroom so of course we never do - uh hum.
11. Hunter didn't have a fever after 10 pm again.
12. We have a bottle of champaign and OJ hidden in the closet.
13. The cafeteria is open until 4pm so daddy won't go hungry.
14. The parking is free on holidays.
15. We have Tempurpedic travel mats and pillows.
16. Our nurses and doctors really care. They are great people.
17. Hunter poops - seriously.
Merry Christmas and thank you to everyone!

I wanted to check and see if you got the box and small toy? I have to apologize for not introducing myself and delivering the items to you. I have had a bad cough so I didn't feel comfortable being around Hunter or any of you while I might have a bug. So I just set them inside your room and headed back home. I have to say that it helped me believe in Santa--because it was fun to be one of his helpers ;)
I did it early Christmas morning because I couldn't sleep :) I think I was kind of excited about Christmas. I have to say that drive and experience at the hospital was such a huge blessing to me. It was nice to see all the people at the hospital that were/are so willing to give on a morning and day when so many people want to take. It made a deep impression on my heart.
It blessed me immeasurably. I hope that you managed to enjoy your Christmas with you sweet little guy. We were praying for you all day!
In Love & By Faith,
Kat Willcox

Hey Guys,
I've been tuning in every day for the updates and am happy to share the ups and downs. Even though this isn't how you thought you would be spending Christmas this year, you are right, there is so much to be grateful for. It's all about attitude and you guys are bad asses!
I'm away for the holidays but not a day has passed that you aren't in my thoughts and prayers.
Christine
