(Mommy’s Take on the Day)

Hi All & Happy Holidays,

Pete's Diary is on continued holiday shutdown, so Mommy is here to give an update.

Pete is doing great, but we are keeping a VERY CLOSE EYE on his doctors and nurses. Everyone seems to have his or her own opinions of what is best (read easiest to do on their shift) for Peter.

Mommy is about to lose her temper with someone either in the hospital or at the Medicaid office, so don't be too surprised if you hear about us on the evening news!

We are eager to get Peter home so that we can take care of his needs the way we feel is best. Plus, we give him lots of healing hugs and kisses!

Pete is a cutie and enjoyed another fun day with Grandma & Grandpa Dankelson, as well as a short outing to the cafeteria.

Hope everyone is enjoying a quiet week. We loved hearing from several of you in your Christmas cards, and your well wishes for Peter are very appreciated.

Love,

Dede & Darin
