Dec 24

December 24, 2008

I got to Gainesville in the early morning hours. 

My dad was in the Ronald McDonald House. 

He woke up & hugged me. We went to sleep & I woke up to him singing

 "Tears on My Pillow". 

We went downstairs & I took this picture. 

 Then, we went to Shands to see Eric. 

He was in the OR getting ready for

 surgery to have a tumor removed. 

Ethan sat in the OR floor opening 

his holiday gifts from me.

Eric was worried before his surgery. 

I told him it'd be okay & 

I'd see him when he got back. He's holding a 

little Spiderman booklet I brought him.

Ethan & I went to the cafeteria & then outside of the 

hospital while his brother was in surgery.

 Then we went back to the 

Ronald McDonald House with Daddy.

I played with him on the playground 

in the back of  the RMH.

I was still recovering from my bicycle wreck that 

happened in Temple City, CA

2 weeks earlier.

After Eric's surgery, we returned to Shands. 4th floor. 

We loved holding hands

 & watching Spongebob.

 It was late on Christmas Eve, so Daddy & I said 

goodbye to Eric before going back to the RMH.

 I took a picture of the wall outside Shands

 that families wrote on for their children.
