Merry Xmas (AKA How I'm trying to make the most this day)

Today I tried to make the most out of this Christmas day. All of my plans of a normal Christmas flew out the window when my brother called me Thursday night. On the night of December 23rd my dad had a heart attack. Thank god for a quick ambulance and the fact that my family lives two blocks away from Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. I spent the entire Chirtmas Eve, with 45 minutes of sleep under my belt, in the waiting room as my father went under triple bypass surgery.
My dad is fine now.  Today I've spent the day with my mom keeping her calm by seeing Sherlock Holmes and going out with her as my dad slept. Tomorrow I'll have a chance to run on the treadmill then have lunch with my grandparents. I'm really looking forward to a run to relive some stress.
I spent a lot of time contemplating whether I should write a blog or not about it. I've been witting some cryptic updates on twitter that only my family and close friends knew what was going on. I need chance to thank the doctors and nurses my dad is in the care of. I also needed to vent. This has been a very scary time for my dad and all of my family. Scarier then anything I've been through or seen my dad go through. As you readers know my Dad is a cancer survivor. That was a tough time seeing him sick all the time. I'm sure anyone that has seen a loved one covered in tubes and monitors all over knows how I feel.
All I need are prayers for a good and quick recovery for my dad. Without going into all the gory details my dad is fine and outlook is looking good so far. I saw him tonight and he looks a lot better then he did two days ago. His doctors have been telling my family good things and everything is going as hoped. This has been a scary ordeal for myself and my entire family. I'm so glad everyone in my life has been very supportive and able to lend a ear when I needed to talk. I really appreciate the personal sacrifices the staff at Lutheran General Hospital for taking such good care of my father on this holiday.
The best gift I received today is that my Dad is still alive. I love you all and Merry Christmas. Go hug the ones that you love.
