Christmas Chemo Time!

This week the Taylors find ourselves in back in Barbara Bush Children's Hospital (the infamous room 636) for James' last inpatient chemo treatment of 2008. JT checked into the big house at about 9am today and we hope to be heading back home on Christmas Eve Day.

This evening, little did James know but Santa got clearance to use the hospital's helicopter pad to pay a special visit. He waved to many kids but tonight - by special invitation- Santa's only stop was room 636 to see James and Jack. He brought only two presents with him. One for James and one for Jack. James can't figure out how the man in red knew he was even here. All of James' letters came from our home address! When I asked him if, maybe, he secretly wished that Santa would come visit him in the hospital he said "Yes". Needless to say, after a day of being sort of "down" because the playroom is closed (read: No xBox 360/Legos Star Wars game) James is still in shock....more pictures later....The beauty of this one is how Jack is oblivious to Santa's presence once his present is opened.

Only two more shopping days left! I better get started, eh?!?
