What a week!


We've had quite a week around here. My dad, or as most of you know him, Grandpa Dave, has been having back problems and other problems for some time. In the last couple weeks, though, we've seen a decline in his condition. We brought him to our home to stay for a while, but it was harder than I thought. He can't even get himself out of a chair and definitely not the bed. Sooo, yesterday we took him to the emergency room. (We tried to make a dr. appt. but couldn't get in for 2 weeks.) They admitted him and we're now talking trying to get some rehab in a nursing home. The social worker will come by Monday. Other than that, We had company on Thur. night for supper and had a great time. Then, our former youth minister, Jerry Ackerman came to town to speak at our youth MN Christian Convention. He stayed with us Thur. night, too. It was great catching up with him. Mike had to go to WI for their convention. My plan was to go along, but that all changed. I had also planned to do a lot of other things this week as it was a spring break from work and school. But, I guess the Lord had other plans. "A man's heart plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps." Proverbs 16:9

Aww poor grandpa. I think doctors think that people who are getting older are just going to have these problems so they don't help. How frustrating. He's in our prayers. I hope you guys had a relaxing weekend at least.
