Colleen said “You have the nurses take care of you then. ” Katie said “Thank you mommy. ” Colleen went back to her and Ken’s cabin. When she got there, she called Russell. She said “Katie wants to be taken care of by the nurses. ” He said “That can’t happen. It’s Christmas Eve. Why can’t she wait until after Christmas?”

Colleen said “She absolutely doesn’t like us honey. ” Russell said “I can’t survive Christmas without her. ” She said crying “You’re right. I want her discharged today because tomorrow is Christmas. She can’t be in the hospital. ” He said “Right. I am not going to sit at Grandma Margy’s and cry. ”
