Get Well Soon Grandma G


This post is dedicated to my mom. Three weeks before Porter was born last year she was in a very serious accident. She has had a rough road since then, she has had multiple surgeries to try and repair her hip and pelvis. This summer we thought she would finally be out of pain with a complete hip replacement. Things have been looking great for the past couple of months until recently when she started feeling flu like symptoms. The only problem was she wasn't getting any better. Finally she went to the doctor where she was told she got an infection that spread to her blood stream and she was to immediately go to the hospital and she would have to have surgery to take all of the metal in her hip and pelvis out until the infection goes away. Which will be about 4 months, where they will then do the rip replacement all over again. This has been pretty bad news to take. No one would ever choose to have to go through a hip replacement in the first place. Today the doctors inserted a pick line that goes up through her leg all the way up to her heart. It's to protect her heart from the infection. Hopefully she will be able to leave the hospital soon. Porter, Seth and I just wanted to tell G.G. that we love her and we hope you get well soon. We are praying for you every day.

We are praying too. I am so sorry this happened to your mom again. She looked so good in those pictures of Porter's birthday party. I hope everything goes well and she heals as quickly as possibly. I'll put her name in the temple, too. We love you guys.
