FREEDOM!!!!!

If you listen hard enough you can almost hear Mel Gibson in the movie Braveheart screaming FREEDOM!!!!!!

That's because Chris got to leave the floor for the first time and go down to the gift shop and had lunch in the cafesteria. Although she had to wear a mask and protective gown it was a huge step to her release from the hospital. She was unhooked from her iv's for the first time as well and she has started back to eating solid foods. She can't have anything with much spice on it at the moment due to her stomach sensitivity issues, but nonetheless, she is more than excited about getting out on Monday.

This is all we feel a direct response from all of your prayers that you have sent up to God on Chris' behalf. Some nurses attribute the fast response from the perfect match and Chris' age and health going in, but we know better.

She also is getting more of her strength back and she is working on little crafts in the room and sitting up more. Right now we just ask that you pray for more of the same that she continues to heal and that she will get to be home soon enough with me and the girls. The other day Haven screamed she was so excited about Chris' counts getting to 1.5. So we know that she understands that prayer works.

till the end,
jc and chris

God is GREAT!!! Chris i am sure cafeteria food never tasted so good. :) The kids and I keep you in our prayers daily, and can not wait for you to be home in the neighborhood soon. Keep smiling, and keep knowing the best is yet to come. Miss you lots.
Love,
Alana
