A couple weeks ago we got a call that Grandpa Kohntopp had slipped on some ice at church and broke his hip. He is 93 years old so we knew it wasn't a good thing. They were going to do surgery the next day, but found staph infection in his blood. So they had to get rid of that before operating. Then a few days later they saw pneumonia had started, so they had to take care of that before operating. They finally got that all taken care of and he had his full hip replacement one week after breaking it. We headed up there to Filer to see him and Grandma Kohntopp and it was great to see everyone! Papa (Larry), Aunt Linda, Uncle Robert and Aunt Wendy and their kids were there so it was nice to be able to visit with them too. We got to Filer on Wednesday afternoon and visited and had dinner with everyone then Chris and I headed up to the hospital. We weren't really prepared to see him so weak, but he was as witty as ever! The next morning we drove to the hospital again and Chris went in for a while, while me and the kids watched a movie in the car.
Then it was off to White Grandma's house! The kids were very excited because she said that she had a surprise for them when we got there! She made them each a pillow case and an apron. They LOVE them! Chris and I were able to escape kid free and do some shopping so that was nice too! On Friday we went out to Chris' brother's house and the kids had a blast playing with their cousins, but then we had to leave Saturday morning! So it was a quick trip, but totally worth it!
White Grandma went to the doctor he sent these back for the kids!
They LOVE their aprons!
