  • HOSPITAL AGAIN

    I for one will be glad when this summer is overwith,.  Although I can honestly say it's been good summer inbetween doctors and hospitals.  

    I enjoyed so much my daughter, Robin, who was with the month of June.  I enjoyed the when the family was all here when Pop was in the hospital.  My children each one has been as good to us, as any parent could desire.

    I guess my title pretty well tells the tale, that's right Pop is in the hospital again. This time with kidney infection in both kidneys.  The nurse told us when we left the hospital in Boise that he will get kidney infection.  We tired hard to take every precaution but it happened anyhow.  They told us with all the hardware he had in him, he was bound to get infection. 

    He chilled all day Thursday and that night when we took his temp, it was 100.8 and then a few minutes later it was 100.4. My daughter called the home nurse and he told her that it was too high for Pop with the condition he had, my daughter took him to the ER and they admitted him to the hospital. 

    I was sick all day yesterday so my daughter, Valerie took him in.  It makes me feel bad, my children are busy enough with out them having to babysit us.  They are being so sweet about it. but nonetheless I feel like they are busy enough.

    I have to think of a older couple Pop talked to in Kansas when we were coming home this spring. They told Pop they were from the east coast and were to visit their son in Nebraska. They had been there 7 days and only seen their son one night when they went out for pizza.  The couple was getting older and they wanted to live close to their son, they liked the town where their son lived but when they told the son they wanted to move there the son told them he didn"t want his parents living in the same town.  I ache form head to foot when I think about those parents. Imagine not being wanted by your children. 

    I AM SOOOO BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Pop was booked for surgery on Tuesday July 8, 2008 and the doctor says he wants to get him over the infection so he can go ahaed and have the surgery on Tuesday.  He will be in the hopital until this afternoon or Sunday.

    I ask that you would please continue to pray for healing and grace to accept what God has for us.

    Seems I'm not home long enough to blog or to read blogs as I spend my days in the hospital.  If I had a lap top I could write real lllloooonnnngggg posts

    I'm again reminded to be Strong and of good courage, because the Lord my God is with me where ever I go. Praise His name. !!

  • Virginia, I will be praying for you as you walk through this valley in your life and that of your dear hubby.  You are so blessed to have family who love and respect you and want to help care for you and Pops. They (and their children) are your crown!  And you are their glory.  Proverbs 17:6  May the Lord bring you through this trial victoriously that you will soon be rejoicing from the mountaintop!!  Juanita

  • Dear Grandma,

    It is so hard for parents to let the children take care of them in their days of growing old. But it is a blessing for the children to care for our parents, just as much as it was a blessing to take of your children in their young, tender years. so let them do it... I continue to pray for you both. -Katie

  • Praying for all of you.

  • I'm praying for you and Pop.  Love you both, although we've never met.  Hope to meet you some day.  We'll just keep on praying!

  • Sounds like you've been having lots of trials the last while,these are never easy. I pray you would sense Gods grace and peace in a very real way during these trying times.
    God Bless

  • May the Lord Jesus shore you up and give you strength and peace Virginia. May he give His perfect knowledge to the doctors and nurses that will be taking care of Pop. I pray for Pop to respond well to the treatment and have God's peace in his heart. Amen

    You have had some ordeals to go through lately ... but your faith and reliance upon the Lord along with your supportive family is what will see you through. Your children sure are a blessing to you and hard as it might be, you need to let them help. Hugs from up north.

  • Hugs!!! Praying for you and Pop--seems like the month of June was pretty rough for all of us--praying that July goes much better!!!!

  • Thank you for your visit and your sweet comment. It is very nice to meet you.

    I have read almost all the Elsie Dinsmore books. They are very innocent and dear. They certainly don't write books like they used to, do they?

    Your blog is lovely and I will certainly be back to visit.

    Praying for you and your loved ones,

    Gina

  • Oh dear - You are living a "summer to be remembered."  I'm praying that you will both receive healing and will be blessed with a better summer next year, even this fall.

  • Thinking & praying for you!
