Hey guys I've got some bad news relating to my life that may or may not effect my posting of artwork..I know I promised Rayl a b-day gift and I will try and finish it as soon as I can.

Well last night my step-dad wasn't feeling all that well, said his heart was hurting, but being the stubborn guy that he is he didn't want to go to the hospital. My mom called the doctors and they said if it gets any worse to come to the hospital right away. Well, it definetly got ALOT worse..so my parents went to the hospital.

I got worried after awhile and I called my mom, who picked up but didn't answer..I could hear the doctor talking on the phone though..I heard him saying stuff to my mom and he said "his heart stopped beating" and I could hear my mom start to cry..and I heard the doctor say some other stuff but I started spazzing out so I didn't really understand. My hands were all shaky and I kept calling my mom but she kept doing the same thing. So since I was being all spazzy I called my aunt and she thought I was having a panic attack 'cuz I was having trouble with breathing, so she helped me calm down. She called my mom and then called me back saying that his heart DID stop but they were able to get it pumping again. Actually the doctor said if they had come any later then they did he wouldn't have made it...

So I was at the hospital all day today @ the intensive care unit, I got to see him twice..I've never seen him look that weak and with all these tubes coming out of him..

So pretty much the story is this, he had a really bad heart attack last night that really damaged his heart. Some of his arteries were clogged up which is why he was having trouble breathing, but they cleaned that up. The doctors said they have to do an open-heart surgery, but they can't now since he is very weak, they have to wait till he is strong enough and can breath on his own (since he has a tube thing going down his throat to help him breath right now). Problem is there is only a 50/50 chance of him surviving...

So, as you guys can tell, depending on the outcome I may or may not continue to post artwork for awhile. I may not have gotten along with him alot of the time, but he is still the closest thing I have to a father. He still hasn't even gotten his "best day of his life" which is the day I move out of the house (lol its a joke of course..but moo..). He's only 50 years old too, which isn't that old ;-;..

Well anyways, I'll try my best to keep up with updates and stuff, I'm sorry if I'll be a little slow on commenting and looking at artwork but I promise to do it eventually ^^'..and I'll try my best with the artwork too.

Thanks for reading (for those of you that did)
