Chapter 31
**
The fact that he was not pale was the first thing that registered in the brunette’s mind. When the doctor had told them that they could go in and see Irwin, Dana had all these thoughts of tubes and monitors hooked up to her pale, ill father who would look small in his hospital bed.
Instead her father, although hooked up to monitors and a few tubes, looked like he was asleep. The doctor had said that people recovered from heart surgery quickly, but the fact that her dad didn’t look on the brink of death shook the co-ed to her core. People weren’t supposed to just end up in the hospital. They were supposed to be sick. There should be signs and warnings like when he grandmother died all those years ago. People weren’t supposed to almost die without warning– especially people as healthy and strong as her father.
Dana didn’t know what to do with all these thoughts, so she shoved them down as she watched her mother and brother take each of her father’s hands and whisper encouraging words. Feeling Alice put a supportive arm around her shoulders, Dana turned to look at her best friend, her thoughts drifting to this morning.
The sun had just begun to rise when Dana and Alice had arrived at the hospital. Quickly finding out where her father was from the receptionists in the lobby the two coeds headed up to the surgical ward.
Dana’s frantic, worry-filled adrenalin, that had fueling her since her brother’s phone call hours ago, vanished that minute she saw her mother and Howie in the waiting room. She stopped her quick pace so abruptly that Alice ran into her back.
