Happy Birthday to....


my DAD! Unfortunately, he is celebrating it in Ogden Regional Hospital. Yesterday he fell when he got home from dialysis. My mother had to call 911. They took him to the Brigham Hospital, where they made sure that he was stable and then made the decision to have him transported to Ogden where they could better care for him. He is having many test ran today. Some of which include: CAT scan (to look at his pituitary gland), Echo Cardiogram (to check for fluid around the heart), Upper GI ( to figure out why he always has nausea), and last but not least lots and lots of blood work! Needless to say, We love you and want for you to get better. If he is able to go home today.. we are all getting together at his house for a birthday dinner! Happy Birthday DAD!

Happy Birthday Honey,
Sorry you spent it in the hospital. Now it is just a matter of talking them into thinking you can come home one of these days. Hopefully soon!

Love you more than
life itself,


Your Beautiful and
Caring Wife,

Corby

It's too bad that he is still at the hospital, but I feel like he gets super good care there. And his nurse Laura is really good about documenting all of his blood pressure readings laying, sitting, standing. And thats super good.
