Donald Recovery

We are happy to say that Donald was able to return to work on July 7th.. After almost 7 months and much help from doctors and therapy he is doing better. He will probably always have the new limp that has come with this MRSA, but if he alive and still with us, so that we will are truly thankful to our Heavenly Father for hearing and answers the many prayers that were offered on his behalf. He is not totally thrilled to return to work, he did get accustom to the retirement life and looks forward to the day in 3 years that if will come for good. We want to thank all our family and friends for their love and support during this time. We are truly blessed to have many good friends and family that helped.

Donald Update

Donald had a visit with his doctor yesterday and he has been released to return to work on July 7th, he is progessing slowly and will probably always have the limp, but at least he is able to get around and return to work. His recovery has been a long, slow process. We are just happy to have him still with us.

HOBO'S TOGETHER

We had a ward "Empty Nesters" party a couple of weeks ago. These are a couple of the Hall Hobo's. Enjoyed a Hobo Dinner and good times around a campfire in a neighbor's yard. As you can see Donald is able to get out and have a little fun.

Donald Recovery

Donald is doing much better, He is off IV's and doing Physical Therapy. He is able to walk with a cane and throw that old silver walker away. It is hard to believe it has been three months since all this started but he is getting each and every day. He even got to go fishing last weekend and caught a 4 lb cat fish. Michelle, Monika, Debbi and Donald had a great time

Donald is Home

Donald is home and taking it easy. He has IV Therphy two times a day. (I guess Debbi missed her calling, she is learning to be a nurse). He uses a walker to get around. But is getting stronger everyday. We are just so glad to have him home and still with us. We thank our Heavenly Father every day.

Donald's Recovery

Donald is currently in the hospital recovering from an infection known as MRSA. He had Knee Scoping on December 21st to clean out the Arthritis. He was admitted to the Hospital on Friday January 11th. He is being administered strong antibiotics. We hope to have him home soon. He will be out of work for up to 6 months and have a home care nurse coming in daily to give him antibiotics once he is at home. We miss having him at home and want him to know that he is missed and loved. HURRY HOME

Shelby our youngest daughter has had a few health issues this last month. It is amazing what we will do for her. She as worked her way these last years into our hearts. After many tests and an overnight stay in the hospital she was diagnosed with Tick Fever. She will be on daily medicine. She is such a smart thing that we could not imagine our lives without her. She is 7 years old and we spend just A FEW dollars on getting her well, but in the last couple of weeks she has regained 7 of the 12 pounds that she lost. We are glad to have her regaining her health. WE love you Shelby
