My weekend birthday celebration

From Aug 4th-6th we stayed at Disney Grand Californian Resort and Spa and from 6th to 8th we stayed at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach. Overall it was good. It could have been worse. We arrived at Disney in the afternoon and got checked in without a hitch. Except for not a good view from our room the room was still good. Good decor, well kept and modern. We went to Disney downtown first for early dinner and then went to Disneyland park. We were able to watch the water/laser show in Frontierland, even when Noah was fussing and Chris had to carry him the whole time. We would have stayed to see the fireworks but it was getting really late and the boys except Nathaniel were fussy. So we left and slept.***At around 2am Chris woke me up for a chest pressure pain that wouldn't go away. He said that it would get worse when he breathes in deeper. For me he looked in pain but was standing around and walking around and talking without shortness of breath. And he didn't look like he was panicky. Because of the kids I told him if we could call a hotel staff to escort him downstairs and then have them call 911. I was thinking the kids were fast asleep and since they slept really late I don't want to disturb them, or it will be like opening a new can of worms.***But Chris wanted all of us to go the hospital. So without further adieu we packed the kids and went downstairs to the front desk to retrieve our car and get directions to UCI Medical Center. As I was waiting for the receptionist to get a print-out of the directions, I called my mom. She was already nervous when she answered the phone. I broke down a bit when I told her what was happening. So that got her even nervous. But I knew she will start praying and that is what we need. Its amazing how when I am too nervous or even fearful, the prayer that comes to mind very easily is Hail Mary. So that was what I prayed. Chris was still in pain as I drove us to the hospital. And he was anxious and sad that he thought he was ruining my birthday. But at that moment I was more afraid that if things will be worse than I hoped this birthday will be the worse ever.***
