Christmas is over, and it was a lot of fun. The girls got almost everything they wanted - Santa was very good to them this year. My mom even was feeling better, which was a very happy surprise, but it is short lived. She is back to being in worse pain than ever, and has scheduled her bone scan for next Thursday. At this point, my sisters and I are prepared for the worst, but are still holding out for that chance that she will be okay. The next two weeks are going to be so so long. We are supposed to leave for the beach on the 10th, but we will wait and see how she feels, and what the test results are.
