In August Jack was admitted and transferred to a larger hospital. He was treated for a fib and released a couple days later.
Now Saturday last he fell landing on his knees. We went to the er Sunday morning just to make sure nothing was broken. Came home and it seemed he would be okay. That evening I could no longer get him up, hurting my back. He also spiked a fever so an ambulance was called and here we our. Now waiting for a room to open for transfer to Mercy in Joplin. Fluid has been removed from both knees and one seems to be infected. He has had several doses of antibiotics. He can not stand or walk and needs an orthopedic doctor to perhaps clean out the infection in the knees. We are in for a long haul. I brought up his needlework to keep him busy.
That in a nutshell is the craziness here. I will share the good things next time and updates.

I wish I lived closer so I could help you. I will be praying though.
It's very worrying when our loved ones are in hospital, I hope Jack improves soon and is back home with you.
Praying for you both.
Take care,
Bean
