I’ll be home in time for Christmas

Ryker

The hospital released Val in time for Christmas. She was healing and continued her Cardiac therapy. She has to see a psychiatrist, adjusting to getting a transplant. While we were getting her settled, the others were trimming the house for her as a surprise.

I opened the door.

Our family yelled, /"Surprise!/"

She fainted with me catching her. Yeah, never startle a heart transplant patient. I carried her upstairs while everyone atoned, but it was okay. She encountered too much excitement for one day.

I laid her on the bed and let her rest. A few hours later, she woke up and came downstairs. I got up and helped her.

/"Sorry. The excitement was too much for my heart,/" Val said.

We glanced at her.

/"Too soon?/"

Everyone groaned as I rolled my eyes, walking away.

/"Oh, come on! That was a little funny!/"

She walked after me.
