Christmas Cantata

Big Mama got to come home for the first time in 3 months!! Papa O picked her up from Timber Ridge on Sunday afternoon. She got to attend the Community Choir practice and then come home for some good 'ole Pizza Depot pizza!! Monday, Big Mama had lots of visitors throughout the day from her fellow school teachers. She enjoyed every bit of it. Monday evening was the Community Choir Christmas Cantata. She had to wear her tennis shoes because she has a brace that she has to wear on her right ankle and she didn't have any other shoes that had a back on them. Even though she was wearing white tennis shoes with her black outfit she still insisted on wearing black socks. But for some strange reason we could not find any of her black socks so in the end Teresa letting Big Mama wear her black socks and Teresa wore a pair of white socks with her black outfit. Thank goodness she had on boots and you couldn't see them!! lol Big Mama did fairly well at the cantata. She did begin to tear up when she first got on stage, but that didn't last long. When she practiced with the CD's Mrs. Gibson had given her, she knew almost all the words to all the songs. But for some reason she didn't sing very much, she kept looking through her music book. Come to find out the book that they had given her didn't have the pages in the right order. But she couldn't have seen them very well anyway. Her eyesight is getting better but she still has problems seeing little words (and music). After the cantata we had to take Big Mama into a separate room because she was getting very overwhelmed. She got to see lots of people that she hasn't seen since her injury and she really didn't want to leave but we had to make her. Papa O had to take her back this morning (Tuesday). He said she whined a little about having to go back but when they got there she was fine because she knew she was going to get to come back at Christmas. Overall things went well and we were all sooooo glad she got to come home for a bit. Thank you to everyone who came to see her or called. She enjoyed it so very much.

PS. Please continue praying for Big Mama. She is having another procedure on December 11th. to look at the vessels and arteries in her brain to see if there is any further damage or anything else that might cause more damage.
