Update on Chip

I talked to Chip this morning. He sounded pretty good on the phone. He said he was feeling better today. Yesterday was a rough day, but they had told him that Wednesday would be a bad day. They gave him a pint of blood yesterday to perk him up a little. It sounds like Saturday he will get to come home. I know Jenae and Aubree will be really happy to have Grandpa and Gammy home!!!!

On Monday when we found out that Chip was bleeding and he had to go back into surgery was a very scary situation! It was something like I had never experience. He was loosing so much blood so fast that time was very critical. I am so thankful that the nursing staff was on top of things and knew to call Doctor Peetz right away. They said if they would not have got him back into surgery they would so fast we would have probably had a much different outcome. It has made me a big believer in blood donating. I am going to make it a priority to be a blood donor. Thinking that someone gave their time and blood and that is what potently saved Chip's life.
