Wow! What a story. What an experience. I can see how this might have been your best Christmas ever. And it took place in a hospital, and while waiting to know if you'd ever have another Christmas. I admire the way I could see the almost-deserted hospital as your husband and son smuggled in contraband (your pretty little dog). And I love the way you infused the essay with emotion while somehow keeping it from being maudlin. That's a major achievement.
Thank you for your kind feedback. It was quite a memorable experience, resting on the razor's edge between life and death, but still remembering to enjoy life for every moment I was allowed to savor it.
