**UPDATE on Christmas Day**

We went to see Nonnie today and she seemed to be doing much better. She looked good and although she still has a trachea in they reduced her pain medicine and is now breathing on her own. She is able to write down what is on her mind and you can even read her lips some of the time. The first thing she wrote down before she could even open her eyes was...Where is my husband?, What day is it? and When can I go home? She then asked how the kids and grandkids were and even more things later on. When we went to see her, Jason (my BIL) was talking to her and Nonnie looked at him and moved her lips and asked where Ashley (my SIL) was. She knew Ashley would explain everything and once she started explaining how serious it was Nonnie got upset. We all told her to relax and not try to be Wonder Woman while she was in there...she just smiled. Then, we had more family come in and they made her laugh too. We all told her how lucky she is and how much we can't wait for her to come home. She moved her mouth and told us all that she loved us. We told her we would bring the video of Dylan this morning so she can see and she is really looking forward to that! It was an emotional day and she still isn't out of the woods yet, but things are looking much better. Thanks to everyone for praying. I will keep everyone posted. Merry Christmas!
