Home from Ft. Smith

Just got home this afternoon late from a two-day drive.  Dry pavement and a fun companion made the journey quite easy!

An update on David and Jill and our grandboys:

David’s doctor appointment today was positive. The doctor took all the staples out and said the wound and the incisions looked just as he expected them to look. David is now 12 days into recovery. He is moving a bit more each day. On Monday he expended a huge extra amount of energy to go 45 minutes away into Oklahoma to see his grandmother in the hospital. She was taken from her Nursing Home on Friday with a blood clot which moved from her leg to her lung. She was responsive when we were there and she expressed that she knew how much he loves her that he would make all the effort to see her. He’s was really exhausted, but I know wouldn’t have not gone for anything!

Thanks to everyone who is praying for him and Jill and the boys. I had a lot of fun with the boys while I was there.  And one day we made the cutest paper bag handpuppets from kits at Walmart and the boys put on a show with a blanket draped over David’s walker for the stage. I got to walk them to school and back two days, as well. We even went to the Wild Things Farm and went on a hayride, saw all kinds of animals, did a real old-fashioned pump to get water, and picked our own pumpkins.

And Jill makes an excellent nurse!  She is taking great care of David and her boys.

So this Nana/ Mom is peaceful tonight as I put the day to bed!

Blessings to all!
