What a difference a week can make! Mom passed the one-week mark at 3:00 this afternoon and we celebrated by watching her choke on her strawberry smoothie. Thanks, Clay...I'll never leave her with you alone again.
With Mom in full swing with rehab and the grandkids on their way to lift her spirits....it's been a great day!
I have decided to go ahead and perform this Saturday night at Aunt Tammy's store, The Java Loft. Clay, however, will be in Fort Worth with Pat Green performing at Billy Bob's.
I would love to hug everyone's neck who has not had a chance to make it up to Amarillo to visit Mom and I will be glad to take anthing you would like to send her way with me.
Also, I will be passing around a basket with blank note cards where you can write Mom a direct note if you would like. Clay, Christi, Clint and I will personally read every single note to Mom.....I know she will love that! If you're not camera-shy I'll have my video camera out and you can tell her yourself.
Also, the facilities here at BSA are absolutely incredible. The nurses and doctors are top notch and have made all of us feel at home. We all hate to spend Christmas in a hospital, but since we have to, we couldn't have ask for a sweeter set up. So, speaking on that note, Saturday night I will be collecting fruit and baked goods for the nursing staff. To give Momma Gwen some love....give the staff some love.
I can't wait to see everyone Saturday night!
Love,
Charla
The Java Loft is in Clovis, located on the NE corner of Prince and 21st St. in The Master's Center. 7pm Mountain Time is the start time, but come as you please as we will all join in on Christmas Carols.

Hello Gwen, I've just read Charla's posting. I'm so thankful that you are doing so good. Charla sounded up, and, well all your kids have just been great through this. I really appreciate the blog and their efforts to keep us informed. I have never met any of them, but wish I could. They are a credit to our family. Speaking as one without any immediate family, I know their support and encouragement is priceless to you. Since you have no choice but to go through this ordeal, you are so very fortunate to have them. I'm glad that your "accommodations" are top-notch, too. I know it won't be like Christmas at home, but you will have your family with you, and that's what really counts, anyway. Keep up the good work, and know that my thoughts and prayers are with you. Keep smiling! SeReatha
