Grandpa Cline

On Sept. 26th, we got a call that Grandpa Cline was on his way to the hospital in an ambulance.  YIKES!  He had gotten up, given himself an insulin shot, and fixed his breakfast, but before he had a chance to eat it, he was standing by the fridge and felt dizzy and ended up on the floor.  He couldn't get up, and didn't have his phone with him, so he couldn't call anyone.  Mike had tried to call him to check on him,, but he didn't answer so he sent Jordan over to check.  His door was locked so Jordan couldn't get in, and we assumed he was out with his friend Nolan. ( He will come and get him several times a week to go on a drive somewhere.)  At lunchtime, Meals on Wheels stoped by to deliver his lunch  When his door was locked, they called the contact number, which is Kevin, Grandpa's step son, who lives closeby, and he came over and found grandpa on the floor, not doing well at all.  He called 911 and they took him to the hospital.  His blood sugar levels were VERY LOW, I think it was 29, so we are very lucky that Meals on Wheels came when they did!

  

He was in the hospital for about 4 days, and has been in rehab for abouit 1 1/2 weeks. He is doing pretty well, but because he's 93, and is not able to do everything for himself, they recommended that he not go back to his home, but to a assissted living place.  Mike and I have spent the last week, visiting different places.  It's been pretty crazy.  There is an UNBELIEVABLE amount of paperwork that has to be done.  He is ready to go as soon as all the Dr. evaluations and paperwork is completed.

The one we are hoping and praying works out is called True Wood.  It is right by our house, and is in our Stake.  A couple in our ward, are in the Branch Presidency there.  Bryan Robinson is the Branch President and his wife Debbie is the Relief Society President. They do Sacrament meeting on Sunday, FHE on Monday and Come Follow Me on Wednesday.  He will love that!  

The apartments are very small, so he won't be able to take all of his things.  I found him a smaller table at DI that will work great.

I also found him a couple of cute lamps at DI, since his were HUGE.

His chairs needed a little love, 

so Krista and I spent a morning painting them.

His bedspread was pretty sad, so we found this one that I think will be great!

We spent the last few days at his condo, cleaning it out and going through all his belonging. 

Sure hope everything works out and he can be in his new place real soon!
