Santa was good!

Santa answered all of our wishes this Christmas. Dad was at home for Christmas, he was mobile and not in any pain. What more could we ask for? Oh, well there is the remission that we are constantly praying for.

We were able to enjoy a nice Christmas at home with Dad. None of us had planned on being home for Christmas, so rather than the usual turkey or ham we had Christmas chicken! Santa brought Dad the Angel of Health, hopefully this angel will start working soon. The best part was that we were able to enjoy Christmas without the anxiety and constant worry of tests, vital signs or pain. Dad was able to watch his grandson tear through presents and play the afternoon away. Mom even got a surprise. Her family was going to arrive the day after Christmas for the holidays. After lunch, while we were sitting around talking, the doorbell rang. Robert answered and we could hear from the tone of his voice he was confused. Out of no where all of Mom's family come screaming out of the hall----SURPRISE! After reminding them of Dad's heart and checking to make sure he didn't have another heart attack everyone greeted one another and spent the evening with family enjoying life.

Today Dad is out for a small outing, changing the lenses on his glasses for stronger pair. Monday should be a busy day, more appointments, including meeting with the transplant specialist. Now that he is more mobile and not in any pain he is anxious to get into the office. He always says his desk job is for the birds. Anyone who knows Dad, knows that he can't just sit behind a desk reading and sending emails. He wants to be in the action. He is hoping this will happen very soon. Anytime we talk he is still so overcome with the outpouring of calls and prayers he receives daily. Everyone from family, friends, colleagues, customers and even his bosses call and send him cards and prayers for his speedy recovery. It must be working, because watching him walk, he sure is speedy!

We have some new pictures that I will post soon. We all hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas, ours sure was!
