Dad
by Carol Carroll 18 Apr '17

Dad had a CT of his right knee and hip this morning. They are looking for possible causes of the severe pain and inability to bear any weight on that leg. They opted not to transfer him to a wheelchair because of how severe his pain is (and how difficult it is to move him) and wheeled his bed down to CT. Dad was glad for that. We are still waiting for CT results. Dad has had very little appetite. (The food looks nasty! 😜 Blech!) So if you come see him ... sneak in yummy food! We have not seen a doctor yet today.

Papa

I'm here this morning at the hospital with Mom and Dad. Val spent the night here. The nurse practitioner, Sammy was in. MRI says quad muscle on his leg is torn. It hooks to the patella? The quad muscle is only fixed with surgery, not sure if they would consider doing surgery at his age, but the Dr will be in this afternoon. No food or water till after seeing the Dr today in case they decide to do surgery today. He just had pain meds, which is good cause no food or water now, since the Dr won't be in till this afternoon. He wanted to sit up so they've moved him to his chair (no easy task). He and mom are sitting holding hands now.

Hey siblings, On Thursday while Dad was in the bathroom a grab bar broke while he was putting weight on it. He didn't fall, but stumbled to catch his balance. He made it back to his chair, but has had increasing pain in his right knee and hip. Yesterday and today he's been unable to put weight on his right side. He said it feels like if he does his bones will shatter. The pain is getting increasingly worse. Dad really felt like he couldn't go on hurting like that and it's concerning that he can't bear weight. So Matt & I are with Dad at Lakeview's ER. He's had some IV pain meds & is now getting xrays. He was in better spirits as they were taking him back for crags. I'll keep you posted as things progress. Love, Annie

Thanks Barb. I've let Ryan know we're praying for our sweet Mitsi. ❤ On Mar 20, 2017 9:55 PM, "Barb Gmail" <bakerclan6(a)gmail.com> wrote: This is from Ryan Gardner, Hello my beloved cousins. I'm praying mightily for little Rylee. I'm not sure if my mom (Mitsi) has told any of you yet, but now having her permission to do so, with that in mind- she went in to have a mass removed from her rear end a few weeks ago. The surgeon who did it was concerned somewhat and could not get all of it out so she sent it in for a biopsy. It came back as being cancerous. She went in to see a great specialist 2 weeks ago who then scheduled her for surgery last Friday to finish removing the tumor and also remove lymph nodes from her pelvic region. The surgery went well and she stayed in the hospital overnight, coming home last Saturday. She has been here since, and is recovering. She has a drain line in her and can walk very short distances using a walker. I've been at home tending to her and it has been a real blessing being able to do so. The Spirit has been in abundance and many blessings poured out. Our ward has been amazing with the love and generosity. The Sacrament has been administered in the home twice now and it is a very special experience. Jeff and Kelly's wives have cooked up some amazing meals for her (and me) She is in good spirits. Can't sit for now. She goes in for followup on Tuesday. She may have a bladder infection so we have her on meds for that now. She and I pray for all of you in our nightly family prayers. I will update you all later. Feel free to ask questions and please update the rest of your families. Love you all!

If you have pictures of your kids with papa & grandma feel free to bring them to help decorate on Saturday. They don't need a frame, because we will hang them from clothesline. If they have a frame that's fine too we will decorate elsewhere with those. Thanks, Barb And please.....tell your kids that might have pictures of papa and grandma with the great-grandkids.
