Last Wednesday morning, about 1am, Grandpa decided he should drive himself to the hospital. He was having some bleeding issues and he finally had enough and wasn't feeling well. When he got to the hospital, they gave him a bit of a scare by asking if he had a power of attorney. He made a couple of calls and my Mom Sue and my Aunt Deb were at the hospital faster than you could say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
I finally received a phone call about 7:30am Wednesday. Shortly there after I decided to head over to Eau Claire. (Anna and I had been planning to head over to Morris, MN Thursday to see her Brother Dave and Wife Becky.)
I made it to Eau Claire about Noon. Grandpa was on the fourth floor. He was in good spirits, laughing and joking. He had a couple of blood transfusions and his bleeding had stopped. Anna took part of the day off and came to Eau Claire early Wednesday evening. By Wednesday night the thought was that'd he be getting out sometime Thursday. There was talk of surgery but only if needed. He was all good to go but he needed to have his hemoglobin go up some more. Grandpa likes to pronounce it hemo-glob-en. :)
Upon Grandpa's recommendation, Anna and I stayed at the Antler Motel. Its a great, clean, cheap place to stay in Eau Claire if you're ever in town.
Thursday morning, the prognosis was still good. Anna and I left for Morris, Mn.
