Owies

My dad went in for hip surgery Tuesday morning.
I was able to take the kids down to see him that afternoon, when he was feeling pretty good, because he was still numb from the surgery. Parker got to see Grandpa's "owie" and hasn't stopped talking about it since.

Tuesday night when we got home, Parker got stung by a SCORPION!!!
After the initial screaming and tears, he wanted a bandaid on his foot and then I stuck a sock on his foot.

He said, "My owie like Grandpa"

He was so cute to relate his little foot to Grandpa's owie:)

Here he is the next day, watching a movie at my parent's house. He was up ALL NIGHT Tuesday crying and would not walk on it and would NOT let us take the sock off. Finally by Wed. afternoon, he started limping on it and was feeling much better by that night!

**Update on my dad***
Yesterday they moved my dad from the Spine & Joint hospital, 3 days after hip surgery, to ICU with some concerns & wanted to take some precautionary tests. They found several blood clots in his legs and a mass of clots in his lungs, which was very scary news for all of us. Fortunately, they have him on medicine that will hopefully shrink the clots & in a few days he will be able to move around again. Right now he has to lay completely still in the hospital bed, so none of the clots dislodge. The doctors are very optimistic and it sounds like within a week he will hopefully be out of the ICU! Other than being uncomfortable from not being able to move in his bed & the pain he has from his hip surgery, he is doing well & we are hoping things will start getting better quickly. Please Please keep him in your prayers!!! Our family is so appreciative of all the support we have received & are grateful for all the prayers out there!
