Grampa.
I'm not sure what to report. He was admitted to the hospital on Thursday and diagnosed with an obstructed bowel.
This is something that could be serious or not very. I mean, it is important that it be treated because this can kill you, but depending on the source of the obstruction the cure can be relatively simple, if uncomfortable. It seems that Grampa's obstruction comes from impaction (more details than you probably want to know) and they are dealing with it, though he has developed a fever. I am getting all my information from Gramma so I am afraid it isn't terribly reliable. She didn't go visit him on Saturday because of the weather (snow) and was going to go after church today, but the weather isn't any better.
That's about all the news that isn't from Lake Wobegone. Any questions?

Daddy talked to the doctor and he said Grampa is coming along nicely. Things are moving and his fever is coming down on its own (no antibiotics). They are going to keep him until it is gone. I feel much better.
And thank you for remembering Mother's Day, even if you were just testing the screening.
