Day 110, A Glorious Day

It has been truly a glorious day! The excitement started to build last Friday when we got to come HOME! Last Friday we drove to Bridger’s Dr appointment with the car packed full to the brim in hopes they would tell us we could go home. Our positive thinking pulled through because after our 2 hour appointment they deemed him healthy enough to go home for Christmas. We have to go back on the 30th to draw more labs and make sure nothing has changed. But hope to get to come right back home. On the drive home Bridger was excited extremely wound up. His mind was going in one direction or another the entire way home. It is always nice to be home for the holidays. We spent all day Saturday unpacking cleaning and running some errands. I loved every second of it. Right now I am completely content and my heart is filled with joy. I am sitting by my Christmas tree listening to the forgotten carols by Michael McLane. The stockings are hanging above the fireplace and it is quiet and calm. Blake, Doyleen and I went to church this morning while Grandpa stayed home with Bridger. We want to give him a couple more weeks before we take him to church, plus they haven’t taken him off of isolation restrictions. Church was excellent. They had a very nice program with several Christmas songs and musical numbers. It was so nice to go to church. I have missed the spirit and strength that comes from attending church. A group of young men in our ward gave Bridger gifts for the 12 days of Christmas. He was so excited and kept saying “this was so nice of them”. Some of the presents had letters to him and they were very touching. I am keeping all of the notes that everyone has sent and plan to build a massive scrap book for him. It is great to be home!
