The Fun (?) continues...

Sunday after church Doris drove over to our house for dinner. She came in and we said our Hello's. Doris picked up a picture from the end table to look at it. Next thing I know I hear a big thud and Kane yelling for a towel. Kellie was the only one to see it happen, Doris' eyes glazed, and legs going out from under her. She fell on to our hardwood floor. The fall woke her up, she was bleeding pretty good from a cut near her eyebrow. She didn't know what had happened. As soon as she fell, Kane had Kellie call 911. When the paramedics came she was phasing out again, they gave her oxygen and that helped. She was taken to Lakeview Hospital for a few tests and then transferred to the U for a Neurological exam. We were all so happy to be done going to the U as Jess was transferred to South Davis Medical center a couple of weeks ago. He is still about the same, not much change there. Anyway we are now visiting 2 hospitals.

Doris had a similar incident a few weeks ago with Dan at Costco. They were waiting for a prescription, her eyes glazed and her body lightly trembling. At least she was sitting down that time. She will be having surgery for a broken hip tonight which I assume will be followed by Physichal Therapy.

Maybe Jess and Doris can be roommates after her surgery!!

Oh my gosh! That is horrible. I was hoping when you told me about the Costco incident that it would be the only one. And now she has broken her hip. I guess it is a good thing that it happened when she was at your house rather than at home alone.

Keep us posted, and good luck with the "hospital shuffle".

Oh my goodness, You guys definitely need a break from all this trauma! I'm so sorry everything is hitting at once. I hope things ease up for you soon.
