A few weeks ago, we got a pretty scary call. Grandpa Phil had taken a fall and was in intensive care with a fractured skull.
It was a nervous few days as we waited for word that the bleeding had stopped and the healing begun. And, it was a great relief when the CAT scans showed the positive results we'd all been hoping and praying for.
After a week in the hospital, Grandpa was transferred to a recovery facility for rest and help while he regained his strength. Once he was at the recovery center, the kids were able to make short visits, which made them so happy. They were sad about the injury, but told Grandpa that he could make the staples in the back of his head part of his Halloween costume.
Today, he was finally able to break out and get back home. He and Grandma are relieved to be heading home at last, and we're so happy to see Grandpa acting more like his normal self.

Up and about in the step down unit.
Back on his feet.
Grandpa Jeff flew down to see Grandpa after
the accident, and got roped into a pie face game with
the kiddos.
Two messy Jeffersons…

The kids thought the putting range was so fun!
Breaking out at last!
