My dad had knee replacement surgery a week ago Tuesday. He's been doing great with his therapy but last night he started complaining of shortness of breath and that his ribs hurt. My mom took him to the hospital, and he has a blood clot in his lung. It's so hard to see him down like this because he is such an active guy. Please keep him in your prayers that this clot disappears soon and that no others form.
My Uncle Fred (my dad's brother) could also use prayers. He and my Aunt Polly were one of the first guests at my parent's 50th Wedding Anniversary party, and not 5 minutes in the house unfortunately he took a fall. To make a long story short, he ended up spending the party time at the hospital and even though everything checked out fine that day, they realized a couple of days later that he had broken his foot. He is recovering in a nursing home.
Hopefully these two brothers will be home and well soon. Once again, it's a reminder that even with the best of plans or doing as the doctor orders, some things are just not in our control. That's why prayers are appreciated.

Thinking of your dad and your uncle and wishing them both a speedy recovery!
We keep the prayers and good wishes going both for Dad and Uncle Fred. Prayers sure help!!! Dad is home again and doing great.
I went to see Uncle Fred today and he is looking good. Hopefully with a bit more physical therapy he will be on his way home. Maybe in another week or two.
Thanks for remembering both of them.
Love ya, Mom
