How awesome is THIS?! No candy for this cutie! I'll try to remember to post these each month since I have the entire year (minus December, dammit).
I'm sorry to report that Dad has been admitted to the hospital. Here's an email I just received from my sister:
"Just talked to Judy and Dad is getting admitted. They're going to do an MRI because they think the infection could be in the bone. I hope that doesn't mean what it sounds like it could mean, but we'll see. Judy said she'll let me know the room # asap, so I'll either email you if I'm still here, or call you later. She also mentioned that two of your blog pals' cards came the other day and two more today - Dad wrote the first two back! So cute!!
Later, Sis"
The doctor actually wanted Dad to go to the hospital about two weeks ago when this infection started acting up but Dad has had about ENOUGH of hospitals so he promised the doctor that if the infection got worse, he'd go. It did, and he went. Now they'll pump him full of antibiotics and hopefully, since he's much stronger than other times with infections, he'll be able to fight it off better.
Dad firmly believes in the power of prayer, GJB Fan Club members. Please remember him in yours, and I'll keep you updated.
Thank you SO MUCH for writing to him!
Oh man! Now I REALLY have to get that card in the mail. I thought taking his leg cured that infection! What the hell?
ReplyDeletePraying now! I know you will keep us updated Chris. I am glad he is getting the antibiotics he needs and I know he will kick this! His GFB Fan Club has got the prayers going on this one! love ya girl! Linda
ReplyDeleteI have the paper out and the envelope ready to send off the first 'note' to your Dad. Will get it in the mail tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHope things go well for him Chris and we are sending positive energy his way and yours.
Okay Georgie! Now you are gonna get bombarded with get well cards! I'd better pop mine in the mail too. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh no. I will certainly keep him in my prayers.
ReplyDeleteDitto on the get well cards. Sending love and strength his way. Your Dad is the only person I know who has a zillion followers but doesn't even have a blog. How cool is that?
ReplyDeleteDagnabit, I keep forgetting to tell you that I want in the GJB Fan Club! I hope his stay in the hospital is very short, and I'm going to start praying for him right now.
ReplyDeleteNot happy to hear this turn of events. Will get out my little GFB charm and keep him in my thoughts. xo
ReplyDeleteSending healing mojo his way!!!
ReplyDeleteI just mailed him a card the other day. I do believe in the power of prayer. I will be praying for him and hope he has a speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about your dad. Thanks for letting us know. I will be his #1 prayer warrior until he gets better.
ReplyDeleteoh NOOOOOO! Best wishes for your Dad, he looks such a lovely man.xx.
ReplyDeleteHi there - I just dropped by from Living Retired in WNYS. I saw your post there and decided to visit, since I'm a vintage lady as well!
ReplyDeleteSounds like things are a bit rough right now. I'll add some prayers for your dad.
