Worst Christmas Ever...

Started falling sick Xmas eve and was full-blown ill by the 25th. My wife, CYLRC, also came down with something. So we were just stuck at home doing nothing after opening presents with our girls.

I had to call-in sick today (26th) and I go the call everyone dreads when you live far away. Dad was taken in for emergency surgery on an aneurysm. That was a total shock. After I had talked to him in the evening, he just stopped talking... couldn't speak.

It seems that the surgery went well thank goodness. So far, I am hoping I don't have to hop on an emergency flight. It is always a hard thing to deal with when you are so far away from home like we are in the UAE.

Sending good healing vibes... for all of you!!

Tough Year for lotsa folk,it seems;(
As for Dad...as I said on FB...That's GREAT news!:bounce:
Thinking of you & your bride.

this holiday. Your wife knows that I am just outside Tulsa. If your dad is nearby, and there is anyway I can help, please let me know.

Hope you all feel better soon. :hug:

If you don't mind, I'm keeping you all in my thoughts.

:hug:

Please let us know how your dad's doing. You & your family take care of yourselves, too.

Hoping for a full recovery for your Dad.

my daughter and i were sick since thrusday.

when mom gets back to the hospital.

Luckily your dad survived and made it through the surgery, and from people I have known who have had an aneurysm, this is the most important part. I will keep you in my mind and hope all does go well with your dad.

I know how hard it is to be far from home when your parents have problems. Nothing feels worse. Best wishes.
