Christmas morning started out very emotional for Craig and I. We were quite sad at Courtney having to be here on Christmas day and yet grateful that she is still with us when others have lost their children.
But God blessed us with several happy moments:
Courtney made her first venture outside in the wheel chair. With her favorite winter hat, sunglasses and blankets we walked around in the sun for about 5 minutes.
We cruised the hallways and sat in our favorite large room overlooking the parking lot.
Her Uncles and Aunts and friends came to visit Courtney and she did well through it all.
The end of the day was the highlight - since Courtney first opened her eyes after the accident I will often kiss her head and then ask 'do you want to give me a kiss?' - then I'll place my cheek against her lips. Although she's never actually kissed me she does always have a look of happiness on her face. Last night she did pick her head up off the bed and kiss ne several times. Then she kissed her Dad!

Diane,
There is nothing better than getting a kiss from your child. Makes every seconed of hard work so worth it.
