A Merry Christmas with the Family!

Kay & Devin had a very Merry Christmas at Mt. Sinai with their family. Everyone brought all the comforts of home and Kay didn't even have to clean up!

Kay & Devin had dinner brought to them and the O'Meara/MacDonald clan set up the Mt. Sinai day room for their feast...just like home!

As expected, Kay didn't even take the holiday off from progressing! With Devin's assistance she was able to walk all the way from her room to the day room for dinner. Great job! Kay's humor was also shining through....she kept commenting on Cindy's new brightly colored outfit and asking her if she was going to wear it to dinner. She may be in the hospital, but that doesn't mean she doesn't have her fashion sense!

Devin also gave Kay some Christmas motivation...a beautiful diamond necklace! What a wonderful husband! Cindy has the necklace for safe keeping so Kay has to continue her hard work in order to be able to go home and get her baubles back! There's no motivation like diamonds!

We hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Have a wonderful New Year!

2008 will be a new and better year for Kay, Devin and the O'Meara and MacDonald families!

We Love You Kay!

Dear Kay & Devin,

It was a beautiful day, Kay and Devin, for all of us. They both extremely appreciate everyone's blog notes (love & prayers), flowers, chocolates, cookies, christmas trees, and gifts that have been sent. It's hard to reach out to you all to thank you for your words, but know that both Kay and Devin's families also do appreciate it as well as enjoy the love, prayers, comments and funny stories that are written here. we do thank you for it!! It really shows who, Kay & Devin are as people.

On another note....Older sister's pave the way for younger sister's (right Tina, thanks!)..my outfit was quite cute and comfy...Maureen....you learned it all from us...the good and the bad!!

Love to all.

Have a blessed New Year!

Love,
Cindy, Warren, Sarah & Kayla!

PS Kay, not sure if you remember, when my mom used to go out of town and we would film ourselves rapping, dancing or looking in the toilet (not sure why), but I recently watched one of the clips and our outfits were hideous back then...but you definitely had the dance moves!

Good morning Kay!
I just spoke with your sister, Cindy today...what a nice surprise. I miss the O'Meara clan and the laughter you all bring. It has been probably over 10 years since I have spoken with yourself or Cindy and the conversation was like old times...right into laughter and sarcasm :)
I heard of your amazing progress and your endurance...I am very proud of you.
I am looking into flights/travel arrangements now to visit New York in February. You know I love you girl to fly there when it's so cold...I've become such a sissy since living out in the dessert. I won't go in the pool unless the outside temp is above 100 (wow, I'm lame).
Anyway doll...have a GREAT week and I'll check up on you soon.

Cindy...thanks again for the call, you rock and I can't wait to see you and your family.

Love,
Jessica Tario
