We are posting from the hospital - yep, back again. Dad's got a partial small bowel blockage that's been painful since last Sunday. Instead of opting for surgery right away (every time he gets opened up, the chances of having a blockage as a result later on are like 60%), he is going to stay and be on IV fluids to try and let the blockage pass on its own. If that doesn't work in a few days, we'll try an NG tube (down his nose, into his stomach) and as a last resort, go into surgery.
So life goes on. There's nothing like having to give a complete medical history five times in five hours. Unless it's listening to the person in the next room puking.
We'll keep you posted.
All our love!

Hey! No, we have not disappeared! Our internet at home has been down for over a month! I hate technology! Plus, we have had ALL of our family home for almost 3 weeks. It has been so fun, but sooo crazy. I am worn out from all the "parties" 'til the wee hours of the a.m. and all the COOKING!!! But I wouldn't have it any other way. Right now we are in St. George tending Kallie (Jason's 20 month old) for 5 days while his firm has he and his wife on a river trip! We are having a blast with her, but once again my age is showing. Tomorrow we register JJ at Dixie College, meet Jason & Kim at the airport on Tues. and get home Wed. Then I hope life will slow down. I am sooo sorry I missed Michelle's 50th. I am good at those parties--just ask Curt! Ha--he still won't forgive me. I can't wait to talk to you again Michelle. Soon...Rick, you are ALWAYS in our prayers. So glad you are holding your own and still making memories. You are such a special family. Love you all---Jane

So sorry to hear you're back in the hospital. Up at St. Marks again?
I was sitting doing some computer work on my laptop when Laura came up with "I wanna holder" (which means I have to "hold her"). I put her on my lap. She glanced at the computer and said, "Can we see BroLo??" out of the blue like that. So I had to go to the blog and show her your picture. Apparently you are top of mind to the spiritually sensitive among us.
All our love.
