Christmas in February

Many of you know that my Dad went into the hospital the middle December and finally got out just over a week ago. Because of this much of our lives were put on hold - including Christmas. Well Sunday we finally got to celebrate Christmas at my parent's house. And while we didn't have the turkey that we planned - we did have spaghetti, mostly made by my Dad! Besides us and my parents; my brother and his two friends - Katie and Corey - were over to celebrate.
And of course, I have pictures!!!
Here is the guest of honor - my Dad - and his girl - Samantha

Out of the hospital!!

Well after just over 2 months in the hospital - including 5 weeks under sedation and just over a week in the rehab unit - my Dad is OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!
Can you tell I am excited?
At one point I wondered if we were going to make it to this day. Gosh, I thought we were going to lose him. But he pulled through and yesterday my Mom got to bring him home.
We were going to go yesterday to see him, but getting out wore him out.. so we will hopefully see him tonight or tomorrow.
Here is him last Thanksgiving... just under a month before he went in the hospital. Right now he has less hair and has lost some weight.. but his spirits are up.

We Love You Dad/Bapa/Ken!!

C-Ya!
