Tonight's picture was taken in December of 2003. We took Mattie out to Los Angeles to celebrate Christmas with my parents. In their backyard were all sorts of citrus trees. Mattie loved to pick fruit and then sort them by type. It was nature's building blocks and Mattie was intrigued.

After Peter heard all of this today, he told the doctor that he did not want his mother discharged on December 23 (like planned). Given it is a holiday week, Peter worries that his mom will be returning home too soon and if anything happens, she won't be in the hospital and won't have access to timely in-home care given it is Christmas week. The doctor agreed with Peter. Peter has been working around the clock to make sure his mom gets the best care possible, with the ultimate goal of returning home.
On Thursday, we are headed to Florida on a cruise with my parents. Thankfully with the help of technology, Peter will have access to his cell phone throughout the trip. Nonetheless, his goal is to get this filter inserted this week, so his mom can truly begin focusing on rehab.
