Sad Christmas Day
« on: December 23, 2011, 11:49:03 pm »
It is going to be a sad Christmas this year. My dad is in hospital and they have found a growth and he will need an operation either Wednesday or Thursday. They aren't sure what it is, though it could be a tumor. The doctors think they have got it in time. Won't know until they do the operation. He will be spending Christmas in hospital. I just can't imagine Christmas without him. Lets hope this Christmas is full of miracles.

Sorry to hear your news Dizzy Girl... but yes miracles do happen. So as difficult as it will be try and enjoy your Christmas and yes a visit to the hospital will cheer him up and perhaps you could take some special treats for him and the staff to share. Hugs to you and your family.

Sorry to hear the latest on your dear Dad DG - I'm sure you will visit the hospital tomorrow and give him some moral support and lots of love.  Wishing him well for the op and hoping you can cheer him up with a visit.  Think positively, that's all you can do. Group hug.

Thanks girls for your lovely wishes. I think I might need to make something special for the hospital. Going to make Christmas Cookies with DS so might do 2 batches and take some to the hospital.

DG, sorry to heard your news.  Our daughter was in hospital on Christmas Day, when she was a Teenager and I thought is was the worst thing that could happen.  But the Dr. pointed out the the staff who work on Christmas day are very special people and do every thing to make the day great and festive.  Our thoughts are with you.

DG my thoughts are with you and your family. The staff that work over Christmas are always lovely, especially if you take them some cookies.  ;) Big hugs for your Dad and self.

So sorry to hear that your father is in hospital and I hope he gets well soon.  I am sure he would love you to take some goodies in for him on Christmas Day.  You are in our thoughts and prayers and let us know how he is after his operation.

Thanks for all your thoughts. We went in and saw him yesterday. He was happy although in pain. He had a great Christmas Lunch and his favourite doctor was all dressed up. He had santa boxers on, tinsel around his ankles and a Christmas tie on. He went around singing Christmas Carols.

Today at 10am they are operating. So far no news but No News is Good News.
