Barbara got up at 4:00 and had breakfast. She took a nap got up and had another breakfast. She rested until lunch and said she was hungry. Leanna was amazed at how quickly she ate lunch. Then the therapist came and had her work her arms and legs

She has had muscle shakes most of the day. The nurse said that often times after brain surgery the brain will tell a body part that it hurts or that it should shake. The nurse said it is just like the leg pain that Barbara had earlier. There was nothing wrong with her leg just the brain telling her it hurt. Well now it is telling the muscles to shake. So Barbara has a slight shake

Well tonight the Awana young people (about 60) from church came to carol at our house. The pastor had told me they were going to come here. I put a heater on the porch and wrapped Barbara up with blankets Barbara really enjoyed the songs Many of the children yelled "merry Christmas miss Barbara". It sure made Barbara's evening.

In fact Barbara was singing with the young people and smiling a lot. She never complained about the cold until they drove away
