We're Home!!!!


Yesterday's Picture
Guess what!!!!! We are home!!!!! Home looks and feels good after 7 days and nights in the hospital. We had an excellent, private room and the best of care. Couldn't have asked for more. The Doctors seemed qualified and concerned and we are so thankful for the results.
We left the hospital around 4:00 this afternoon. Merrel has some limitations but nothing too difficult---no driving for one week, no lifting more than 10 pounds, no shower for 3 days, never no never use a chain saw!!! Remember that infamous chain saw I got him for Christmas that he didn't want? We won't have to be afraid now that he will get injured. He has 'willed' it to Ron. Ron deserves a chain saw and much, much more. He was at the hospital each day around 7:00 and didn't leave until late evening. He is trimming our shrubs tonight. He is a WONDERFUL son. Now if Merrel can just encourage the Dr. to tell him he cannot mow the yard nor work in the garden, he will have it made.
We appreciate all the prayers and good wishes that came our way. God is sooooo good.
Love you,
Dortha

Yes, I would like to be told that I can't do laundry for medical reasons.

Glad you're home, Granddad! Take it easy, and let everyone take care of you for as long as possible. Love you!
