We’ll keep you and yours in our thoughts and prayers.

He got released to a nursing home late Saturday evening for rehab and recovery.

In addition to the high blood pressure, diabetes, and alzheimer’s, he had a car wreck a week ago last Saturday evening, breaking his right arm, his right ankle, 5 ribs on the left side and shattering his left hip. Rather than attempting to repair the hip, we went with a full hip replacement at the recommendation of the ortho doc.

With those types of injuries, it’s going to be hard to rehab him. With the hip replacement, it’s critical to get up and walk as soon as possible, but with that broken ankle it’s not possible, so we’re concerned about how much of a recovery he will end up making. They got him into a wheel chair today for the first time.

Other than that, he’s doing pretty good for the situation. For some reason, he’s not been in much pain, which has been a blessing.
