smooth sailing

First of all, thank you all so very much for your prayers, good vibes, good thoughts, etc. I know that it helped. :) Well, my brother took it upon himself to give me a call to let me know that my dad's surgery went okay (since no one else bothered to call me). Wasn't that nice? Good lookin' out. :) He went to go visit our dad this morning, he was sitting up in his bed and he told my brother to go to work-yeah, sounds like he's doing okay to me! My sister and I are driving up tomorrow night so that we can visit him Friday during the day. I'm hoping to get the Christmas presents I already purchased wrapped between now and before we leave tomorrow so that I can bring them now instead of having a whole entire trunk filled with presents come Christmas.
