Keeping Up With Grandpa

Hi all,
This is Carrie, Laura's daughter.

Today Mom and Dad spent the day in Bay City, MI and are now on their way home for the night. They got a phone call this morning that my grandpa (Mom's dad) was in the hospital for some pain he had over the weekend. He drove himself to the hospital in West Branch. (That's my grandpa!) When they couldn't help him, he was driven late last night / early this morning by ambulance to the hospital in Bay City. He had surgery that helped his symptoms, but we're not sure yet what was causing the problem. He'll stay in the hospital at least overnight. Please keep him in your thoughts.

A family friend, Jan, who is also Mom's classmate's wife, drove Grandma to the hospital. Grandma and Grandpa's other kids, Allan and Bonnie, came up to Bay City as well. Bonnie will stay in Bay City overnight with Grandma.

Love you, Grandpa! Keep strong, feel better, and get the heck outta that hospital!
