Night (re)cap

Jaima and Julia returned to Pender tonight so Julia can drive Mom's car to Sioux City tomorrow morning and pack some things for Mom. Julia and Jaima attended the spaghetti feed benefit for the band (Jaima did not want to cook) and watched the Pender's girl's basketball game. So many people were asking about Dad and Mom and sending good thoughts our way. It is wonderful to know that so many people are thinking and praying for all of us.

Jacki stayed in Sioux City with Mom (we have moved to a hotel room with a fridge now). Some dear friends of Dad's made the visit to Sioux City again today and did take time to pop into Dad's room. The nurse stopped them and asked who they were. Denny (Munderloh) said who he was and the nurse asked Dad if he knew Denny and Dad said "get him in here". Al (Maul) also was there and when the nurse asked if Dad knew Al he said, "he is the county attorney and also my attorney" (and for those of you that don't know Al - Dad's answer is correct!). He also told Al and Denny to take care of Jean. What a wonderful way to wrap up the tonight's blog. Thinking of dear friends that Dad is actually able to recall. One can only imagine that knowing so many friends and family are pulling so hard for him can only make him stronger.

Good night from Pender, Nebraska.

  1. So happy things are progressing in a positive way. Your dad is a crack-up. I love what you wrote about him and knowing his friends and "getting them in here." Sounds like he pretty much knows what's going on!
    Nonetheless, it's still a difficult time for ya all. Please know I continue to pray and you are in my crazy, unorganized thoughts...but YOU ARE there. :) Thanks so much for the updates.
    Hey, you've intrigued me with the healthcare policy stuff. I'll have to look online to find the article to see what Jacki's talking about. Keep on keeping on. Jen

  2. Julia, your recap is very encouraging. Wow! Let me know if you are going to need a ride to Eppley. I can drive up, spend some time with Jerr and then bring you to Omaha. Its good to feel useful rather than just hang out here, don'tchaknow.
    Love, Nydra
