• On Sunday Elizabeth was tired all day – because of lack of sleep the night before.   But for her yesterday was one of the best days!   She had so many friends from school  come by – she was smiling all day long.   While she loves the adults visits – she really missed her school pals.  Some of the parents shared stories of Elizabeth’s kindness at school with me.   How she befriended the smallest kid in the class or gave her lunch to someone else - because they forgot their lunch, or how she always remembers to say hi to the parents.  

  In the morning we had our worship service and in the Evening the Rodrigues family came  and joined our family in singing the Psalms with Elizabeth – the room was filled with music and it was a wonderful time of praise. 

  One small piece of good news is that yesterday the hospitial removed the IV and some of the other hoses attached to her.   We were able to put her in a wheel chair (which we were instructed to do twice a day for now on) and her sisters pushed her around the hospital hallways.  

  This morning Elizabeth was better rested and feeling better.  In New Jersey we had snow on the ground, which Elizabeth loved looking at.    I grabbed a couple buckets and brought the snow in to the hospital so we could have a snowball fight (the nurses thought is was great and were laughing).   Elizabeth got a few good shots at me and her mom!   

  EDIT:   I should mention that we will likely be moving Elizabeth to Mountainside Children’s Hospital which specialize in spinal cord recovery, in one or two days from now.   We will let you know as soon as this happens.    Her stay is estimated to be about 4 to 6 weeks depending on her needs.  

  Well I am off – I promised Elizabeth that I would pick up two new Wii games called ‘Playground’ and ‘Petz 2′.
