Days

One at a time.

Dad is seemingly resting comfortably.

Dad has been stable, but hasn't really "woke up" since surgery.

He isn't in any obvious pain - praise the Lord.

He seems to be at peace - praise the Lord.

The nurses say he "loves Mountain Dew" - when we asked him ... in a groggy state he reported when asked if he liked Mountain Dew these days, "not so much".

We smile through tears and welcome your love, concern, prayers and support.

We appreciate your friendship - as does Dad.

The next 24/48 hours will be critical ~

Updates as we have the time and energy to check in.

God Bless

Prayers Answered!

Dad made it through surgery! He is resting and has been very sleepy the past few days. They inserted a rod through the left humorous bone and this should bring him pain relief. He is at St. Elizabeth's hospital in Lincoln. I am sure he would love to hear from you. The mailing address is:

Saint Elizabeth Regional Medical Center
555 South 70th Street
Lincoln, NE 68510

Make sure to put: Howard Taylor - Room 504

I will be updating the blog more regularly while we are working through this hospitalization.

Thank you again

Change of Dates

Surgery will be first thing Friday morning. Thank you for your thoughts/prayers.

Needed: Prayers

This post is long over due - and not sure if anyone still checks this, but in the event that you do ...

Dad fell last week and broke is left arm. He has been in increased pain and we just found out today that his bone punctured through the skin. This has left us with a difficult situation - there isn't an easy answer, but we are going to proceeding with surgery tomorrow (Thursday).

Prayers would be appreciated.

As promised ...

Better late than never! Some pictures of the building as it progresses. C & C get excited when we get back from a day at "work". It is all coming together ~ I am FINALLY beginning to see what the building will look like. Dimensions mean little to me, but I get beams!

Click on pictures to enlarge!

Here's to Evan!

Last week we visited Bapo at M's house. The boys enjoyed "Dad's friend" together. To all of you out there who share this "special friend" - cheers!

Pics of the building coming soon!

Slacker

Me, not Dad ;o).

So sorry for the delay in posts and this isn't going to be a very lengthy one either. Life has been busy and energies have be spent getting through the day to day. Dad needs our thoughts and prayers as his pain increases. Jet is his constant companion and for that he is grateful.

Our family went up to NE to visit this weekend and took our puppy, Charlie with us. Charlie was thankful to see his playing buddy Jet AND get cuddles from Dad. He jumped right up onto Dad's bed and snuggled in for a love or two. Miss and my youngest boys made a "Grandpa Sandwich". We have some pictures to load of our trip as well as the building. C and C are excited to see "Grandpa's home" grow and grow. The weather might hold us up for a day or two - rain, rain go away!

Thank you for checking on us. My goal is to update the blog WITH pictures this week. As my moto has been this summer and fall: One Day at a Time!

Thinking of you too!
