Could Be an Interesting Christmas

[linaewen]

My dad went into the hospital last night, and is going to be there at least until Tuesday.  I wouldn't be surprised if he is there over Christmas Eve, as well -- seems he has some kind of bacterial blood infection and the possible beginnings of pneumonia.  Both of these things have been troublesome for him in the past, but not for a long time.  He's actually not been in the hospital for quite awhile, whereas previously, he used to be admitted regularly.  I think he still knows all the nurses by name, though.  ;-)

So this throws an interesting spin on the attempts to have a very traditional Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve!  I guess we shall proceed as planned, and if we have to take the celebrating to his hospital room, we'll do so!

In other news, we are having fun times with wind chills around here, ranging from -25 to -30 degrees.  Living in the Midwest is grand!  :-D

Oh dear - I am so sorry to hear about your Dad, and at Christmas too... I agree, if needed by all means take it to him!

Prayers for your father and your family.

We don't have your wind chills, thank goodness, but we are getting socked in with snow.

Oh, I hope he gets well soon. You and yours will be in my thoughts and prayers. **HUGS**

I hope your father is feeling better soon. If he is still in hospital at Christmas, maybe you can do some bedside caroling? :)

Yes, it is cold! Lord Branwyn and I just spent the evening working in an unheated barn. It is 4 degrees out, with a wind chill of 30F below zero. The air is so cold that I could hardly breathe when I had to go outside to dump the manure. But that's life in the Midwest!

I'm so sorry to hear your Dad is having trouble! I will send my healing thoughts and prayers his way and I hope he will be up to spending quality time with you and your family for Christmas. Maybe his familiarity with the medical staff will be comforting to him while he is recovering. *many hugs!*
