Grandpa's Surgery

Grandpa Collins gave us a scare.  He had a stress test, which led to having a heart cath.  Daddy went to Springfield for that procedure, and we weren't even going to tell the boys until it was all over.  Unfortunately, the damage they found was too great to place stents and told him he would be having triple heart by-pass surgery the next day.  Mommy and the boys packed our bags and headed to Springfield to see Grandpa before he had surgery.  We spent several days in Springfield, as he was hospitalized for several days.  He is doing great now!
The boys and Grandpa the morning before his surgery.  They helped to lighten the mood!


We went back to the farm once he was out of surgery and stable to pick up sticks and Daddy helped get all the hay in the barn, as it had just been cut and Grandpa was worried about it getting put away before it rained.

Hay stacked along the fence an all in the barn!
