Arriving at Omi and Opa's

Well, the visit with Omi and Opa would have been better if Opa had been feeling better! He was doing so well too!

We arrived on the 1st of August and started to visit a little, when Opa said he didn't feel so well. He went upstairs and then Omi went to check on him and he really was feeling poorly and said he wanted to rest. He had a bit of a fever and Omi decided that the next morning she would call the doctor. Well, the next day he was in bed most of the day and got up to eat a couple of times. Then on Friday we decided to go to the lake and rent a speed boat. That way the kids would have fun and Opa could rest quietly. Well, when we arrived home, Omi let us know that Opa was in the hospital. The blood work from that morning's doctor's appointment showed his white blood cell count was again very high. So there he stayed the rest of our time there. Carl and I visited a few times, mostly Omi and I or Connie. He seemed in good spirits and I am really glad I sent along more Ellery Queen and Alfred Hitchcock mags! The kids had fun with their cousins and with Omi, and I think they cheered her up a bit too?
