Lonnie will be back here soon..it's inevitable.

I nominate Lonnie for a Purple Heart, that's my imput!

Hey, Marsha I have a couple of rolling pins if you need them to keep Lonnie in line,looks like you might need them, to keep him from hurting his self more LOL.

He couldn't make it on the big 4 wheeler so he did the small. Needless to say I wasn't happy, one word SPLEEN.

A woman has got to do what a woman has got to DO!

David that is so neat to know about the tree planted in daddys name. I don't think there is anything he would have liked better than to plant a tree. We have trees to plant in his honor as well. Emily and Zac bought them. A weeping willow and an apple tree. With everything blooming it is easy to think of him everytime I look out the door. Me and Emma met mommy and Rita at Alta for lunch after she had her hair done everything was yummy!! I am trying to hey Emma to take a nap but that's just not happening. We are gonna go watch Jacob practice some baseball here in a bit. Lonnie when the grass gets ready to mow there and around the pond just put on the blog your having a party but everyone needs to bring their lawn mower and weed whackers! Hope you are feeling better today and no more sneezing!!

David , tell Michelle , that is so neat and thought full of her to have a tree planted there in Daddy's name , I think it's great.Rita or Trish, don't forget to tell mommy about the tree.I bet she will love the idea.

Michelle and the girls now live in Vilseck, Germany, since her husband Joe is stationed there. She was recently given the opportunity to plant a tree there in Daddy’s name near the Dagestein Castle which is located behind her apartment complex. The castle was first built in about 800-900 A.D. but was damaged several times during the 30-year war and by a fire that nearly destroyed it. As she walks Toria and Aleya to school each day, she often passes a farmer named Herr Hammer (best spelling she can come up with) who lives down the street. Michelle said, “I was talking to him about planting a tree in honor of grandpa. I told him grandpa’s mom was named Buzzard. He told me Buzzard was a very old and honorable name in Germany. A couple of days later the farmer told me his brothers keep the castle and castle grounds and they were planting a row of trees in the reclaimed land that used to be a moat around the castle. He sent me to his brothers who were just planting this row of trees in the picture. When they got to the last tree, they asked me to plant it (the conifer on the far end of the line). So grandpa has a tree planted in his honor in Germany and we will get to watch it grow while we are here. I could not get back in to get a closer picture. It had been raining, and since that land is reclaimed from the old moat, it is quite boggy when it rains a lot. That is the reason they were planting the trees, so they will soak up a lot of the water.” Pretty neat that Daddy has a tree planted in his honor in a foreign country from which some of his relatives came to America.

This is one view of Dagestein Castle and the tree is planted out of sight just to the left.

The picture is of the manual w/c that was supplied with the bed and other things. They had to modify a pronto scooter so Lonnie could elevate his legs while in the scooter. They cut the leg rest off a manual w/c and mounted them to the electric scooter. Lonnie hasn't used the manual w/c since they got leg rest on the scooter. I think he might be afraid I will dump him out of the manual w/c when trying to push him in the yard. The first time we attempted to go up the ramp the wheel on the manual w/c dug into the yard and he almost fell out of the w/c. So I think there might be a little fear with me behind the wheel. Truthfully, the scooter gives him as much of his independance back as possible. He usually takes a nap around 1100am. He goes to bed early but is up through out the night on and off. Then he still wakes up every morning early, so by 1100 he is exhausted. He is already trying to figure out how he can get on the 4 wheeler so we can ride in the back field. He is also thinking about how to get in the truck so we can go to job sites. Before long they will have made alot of modification to something, I'm sure of that. He is constantly thinking about how to make things better, since he is w/c confined for 8 weeks (unless alot changes on our visits to the doctors). He read the blog today while I took Ariel to school. He said he was looking at pictures also. So he is starting to read what you say. I hope to get him to read the blog every am.

Well, I'll be honest, when I read the word "modified" we were expecting a picture of a diesel engine on a wheelchair with a lift kit, a back hoe, and a blade on the front! I guess that's some imagination I have! But anyway, it's so good to see you doing so well Lonnie! We've been praying for you guys. And maybe we could get a side car put on for Marcia? She shouldn't have to walk everywhere!

Love you,
Paul and Addy

Hi Lonnie and Marcia, I hope everyone is getting used to the new routines. Lonnie, I don't think you can move much dirt with the new shovel you're holding. We are praying that you have a complete and swift recovery. Did I read it correct that therapy starts today and you may be 6 to 8 weeks in the recovery process.

Turkey season starts in Ky this weekend. How about WV. Maybe you can get in some turkey hunting while you recover :). Take a picture of the ramp Marcia and post it so we can see the handy work of those who built it.
Remember we are praying for you and Marcia and don't forget to thank the Lord for His many blessings.

Lonnie,
Looks like you are ready to roll with that wheelchair. The shovel adds a nice touch. Now if you could just get some hydraulics on that shovel and some electronic controls that you could operate with one hand, hey you would be back at work in no time! :) Listen to Marcia. At least for 6 or 8 weeks she is the boss, you are the patient. Do that and she will have you back to full speed before you know it. We're praying for all the bones and surgeries to heal well. Take care of yourself.

Lonnie, I like that modified wheel chair ,you look like you are ready for your movie shot,So glad you are doing better , Just don't over do it and listen to Marsha, so you will heal faster, David Said to tell you he is thinking about you and wishing you a speedy recovery. The kids enjoy seeing your pictures on the blog ,and they couldn't get over your truck, the way it looked.Marsha, keep the pictures coming, I save every one . yo both are in my prayers daily.

Uh oh! Shawn modified...is anyone thinking Tim Taylor? Soon that Wheelchair will have MORE POWER! Hope you are felling well today Lonnie! We Love you!

We took Pizza up and had supper with Lonnie, Marcia and Ariel this evening. He maneuvers very well! He had a little battery life left on his wheel chair after having been in it all day. I imagine he will have it going down Sewell Mountain before lone or as soon as he gets an extended battery pack. Marcia we are praying for you as well. LOL
Night all,

Lonnie said to tell everyone he was ready to go back to work, he has his shovel. This is also one of his hot rod rides for the next 2 months.

Well I haven't done to well since I've been home. Lonnie is doing fairly well, it is very hard on him trying to do anything. He gets exhausted easily, which he did not expect. His ribs have been bothering him today, he had been doing really well until he sneezed. Physical therapy has started today. We have been out on the electric scooter today. Shawn modified the scooter for him so he could raise his legs. Lonnie does real well until 1100 then he is exhausted. He really enjoys company. He has had a lot of people up since we got home. He is tired when they leave but if they make him laugh he has a good time. Like Janet said he is still very emotional when he talks about all his cards and what everyone has done for him. I think he was suprised. He gets a kick out of some of the blogs. I try to read them to him but since we have been home I haven't even been on the computer. His grafts look good, bones appear to be healing , no pain from anything except his ribs at the present. As you can imagine, he hates taking orders from me about what not to do. He usually does fairly good. He has a hospital bed so he can get out of bed easier, I do daily dressing changes to his right lower leg to change the graft site. He is also taking an injection daily to help reduce the chances for a blood clot. Keep him in your prayers, now the healing will be the hard part.

I went by Lonnie's this afternoon. He seemed in high spirits. Apparently he took a spin in his wheelchair earlier in the day and was going back out after we left. He basically has one arm that he does everything with. He was very touched by the porch that was built, the wheelchairs that were donated, and all of the cards and calls. Ariel said that they had 31 messages when they got home. I got the feeling that his appetite wasn't much. (And no it was not my cooking! ) Kaiden and Lonnie talked tractors and bulldozers for a while. Lonnie reassured Kaiden that the escavator would be fixed:)

Looking forward to seeing everyone over the weekend! Love you~ Janet

I talked to Rita today and her and Gma had been up to visit I think.

Did Lonnie make it home

Has anyone heard anything from Marcia? is everything going okay?

Great day, Lonnie is finally coming home ,

Emily, I'm sure Teresa would love to have some coffee.

You tell Vivian that Lonnie is just waiting on his ambulance ride home. I think he is pretty excited now, at first he was apprehensive, which was to be expected. I agree with you Ruth, From my experience I just didn't think he sowed too well, Just kidding. Alright , I just wanted everyone know they can call us @ HOME tonight.

Marcia: The way people are helping Lonnie just goes to prove that the Bible is true! It says that you reap what you sow. Lonnie (like Daddy and Mommy) has always helped (planted good deeds) everyone who knows him and he is now reaping what he has sown. And the Bible says that it will be given back to him pressed down, shaken together and running over through the hands of men. Glad to hear he is coming home and that Mommy's blood pressure is down!

Glad grandma got a good report. Good to hear that Lonnie is coming home~ seemed in very high spirits when I talked to him last night:) Steve~ if you need help picking up apples when the time comes, I know plenty of people with experience. My kids are looking forward to coming to the wedding as are we. I'll call you for directions to the church. Love to all!

As i was tucking mommy in bed for the night she said now if lonnie comes u
wake me up!

Lonnie will be getting out of the hospital tomorrow. He has been released by all his doctors, we will leave sometime tomorrow. He will have to leave by ambulance. The social worker is arranging all his medical equipment to be brought home tomorrow. I want to let everyone know what his buddy did for him. He bought lumber and built a ramp into the top of our house. Shawn helped him and I'm not sure who all helped. I know alot of people are reading the blog now so to anyone who helped with the ramp, I want you to know Lonnie was very touched and we both really appreciated it. He has talked about how everyone has helped. Another buddy has loaned him an electric w/c which reclines to use as long as he needs it. Sue has loaned us a manual w/c if needed. Lonnie seems amased at how everyone has called and helped without anyone asking. He does appreciate everyone. Well everything is in line to leave tomorrow, it will be nice to be home. He has told everyone the the Lord was riding with him and he has been speaking freely about how blessed he is.

Mom, I am glad to hear you got a real good health report, and that you are going to be in training NOW, for a little pt, maybe you and Lonnie will have some stories to tell each other, How about that Lonnie, Glad you are on the up side too. Long road ahead ,but You'll come through with flying color's I know. you and Mommy can have a race.

Marsha you will need your boxing gloves before it's over, believe me .LOL

Glad Grandma got a good report!

Zac had an interview with Starbucks last week. It's the only place that has called him back of the 10 or so places he has applied. I asked Grandma to pray for him a couple of weeks ago and she has been praying ever since. Well the lady left him a voicemail yesterday saying she was calling for a follow up. He called her back this morning and he got the job!! He starts this Thursday. We told Grandma and she said, "That's the miracle I've been praying for!" and I'm sooooo glad she was! He will get BENEFITS starting in 3 months! I'm so excited to go to the dentist and the eye doctor again.

By the way, I believe we get a free pound of coffee a week. We don't drink coffee, so if any of you want some let me know. I'll start a coffee list and just give it out as we get it!

I sure am glad there are some young bloggers out there! I can add them as well if they want to share anything with the family. Steve you are right I couldn't tell it had been mowed but it sure looked good. The flower beds looked as if you had cleaned them all out. We went up today to get the rest of the dishes that needed returned and mommy went through several drawee and got a ton of stuff mostly sentimental doo dads that daddy had bought her. She found aprons and pictures. Teresa I am sorry to say but she even wanted the picture of grandma and grandpa buzzard! She didn't think much of her but I do remember her saying what a sweet and kind man he was. So I have a trunk full of pictures to hang up on her wall. She does like looking at her picture books and daddy had a whole set of picture books(small) with nothing but his flowers and the trees and yard so I have them here for her to look at and She does like that. Yesterday while sitting on the porch we contemplated which trees were coming down. Kinda figured it would be most to all. Daddy didn't seem to think the apples would hit this year so steve you might be in luck. Did you have any luck at the job place when you were here? Physical therapy is going to start working with mommy 2 days a week for a month and show us what we need to learn as well as far as walking and keeping herbfrom falling. He seems to think her right hip is higher than the leftcausing her foot to turn inward. And where before she acknowledged it and corrected it herself she just forgets now. But there are several things he has to work on for her. She was excited and said she would go ahead and practice. She took off through the house just a gettin it. Lonnie maybe that's whereyou get your determination from. Although daddy often called it stubborness. Either way it will serve you well while recuperating! Gotta run. Frying chicken. Oh mommys weight stayed the same and her blood pressure was excellent!

Good to hear Lonnie is recovering, even if it is slow.


Trish, you probably couldn't tell it but I mowed the high grass the other day. I also mowed the sage grass out on the steep hill too. I can't make it up this weekend because of the wedding, but I'm sure by the following weekend it will all need mowed. I've already mowed mine a couple times at home and will be mowing today. I think I miss the snow!!!

Updates

Thank you Trish for the update on Grandma. Very glad to hear that her blood pressure is staying down. Marsha thank you for the Lonnie updates. The girls are on the blog every minute they get trying to see what is happening with everyone. We hope to see everyone in June if I can get transport figured out for Vonda to get to camp and back. We are all doing good here. Happy Belated aniversary Paul and Addy! Vonda went back to school this morning. It is pretty quiet now.Vesta is out in the garage tinkering with her daddy.

One of the Trauma doctors just came in and said that they will be coming to do the dressing on the grafts today. They are unsure what time but he probable won't be d/c for a couple of days. He has three trauma doctors so even if one will d/c him, he must be d/c by all the others. We well let you know something definite.

Lonnie said to tell everyone they are suppose to come to take out all his drains today but because they are so busy he is not sure when that will be. He is now on no pain medicine except motrin. He has something stronger but is not taking it. His only pain continues to be the rib area. He said since they took him off all pain med his ribs will not let him get comfortable at night to rest too well He naps frequently through out the day. It is very busy here they say they are in their trauma season now. There were at least 5 people brought in by helicopter yeaterday and 9 admissions to the floor. If we get out today it will not be till late. He may have to go home by ambulance also. We have 2 friends going to give him scooter or electric w/c to use. It will make him more mobile which will be better.

Too funny Addy! did you happen to see David and Susan there? they went and stopped back by the house on saturday night to practice singing. Mommy and Rita had just come from church so I fixed Mommy a bite to eat and asked her if she wanted to go to bed or stay up and listen to us sing. She said "If there is gonna be singing, I want to be listening" David and I were practicing Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone, Mommy twisted her face up and said they took a good song and messed it up. Doesn't that sound like something Daddy would say. LOL So after we sang it that way, we had to go back and sing Amazing Grace the RIGHT way for her. We went to church Sunday morning and then after lunch, Emily and I took Mommy to her house to see all of the flowers and trees in bloom. Everything is budding and blooming. Daddy would be happy. I told Mommy it looked like Steve had uncovered all the little sprouts so they could stick their heads out. She wanted to sit on the porch and look but didn't want to go in the house. The Mama kitty has moved her kittens to the garage so we didn't get to see them but we could hear them. Tom Cat was there for an appearance too. We stayed for about thirty minutes then she got up and said she wanted to look in the tater house. After that she was ready to go. When we turned into her road where Kaye Martin used to live she said I don't think this is the right way to my house. And she continued to dispute the road I was taking until I showed her the road where Goldie and DAve used to live. I told her if it was pretty we would ride up today, look around. She seems to be content to do that. She got chilly while we were there and I pulled one of Daddys old blue jackets out of the closet, pretty sure its the one he wore every day while he was sick. She liked that and she wanted to wear it home. We got about a forty minute nap then we went to church again at 3 for a deacon ordination service at our church. We plan on attending the luncheon at our church at noon today if the nurse comes and goes by then. Hopefully we are going by to visit Vera afterwards. Blood pressure has been good for her all weekend so I think that part is finally licked. Although I think from the time of Daddys funeral til now she has had another mini stroke. Her speech is so much harder to come and her balance and ambulation is not so great. Also I have noticed the way she holds her hands are similar to when she had her previous strokes. But hopefully Physical Therapy should start working with her soon and showing us some strengthening exercises to do for both her legs and hands.
Love to all,
Trish

Paul and I will be taking donations for Janet's birthday gift this year. We found this at the Auto Fair this weekend. It's a car/boat. She could just drive it right out into the pond, not have to worry about mascara running or mud in her hair. I think this would be a wise investment for the Treadway family in the years to come (especially if Janet and Matthew have any more kids). haha

Hey Paul & Addy, Happy ONE year!!!! Let us know when you get to FOUR!!(Poor Paul) Since only 3 days seperate our anniversaries we should just reserve the weekend of the 8th-10th next year and have a big party!!! I guess we could let Andy & Kim share in the fun as well since theirs will only be a week away.

Hi from the hospital, I've tried to get Lonnie to punch on this computer, he refuses and it takes me forever. He hasn't rested as well the last 2 nights. I had been laying in bed with him at night, he said it made him sleep better. For the past 2 nights I haven't laid down with him because of all of his drainage tubes. So tonight we will have to see. He wanted me to tell everyone that he told his plastic surgeon to do a good job on his legs because he may want to be a male dancer. He is wanting up to a w/c but since PT and OT haven't seen him yet, he will have to wait. I'm looking at Tuesday for a possible d/c. There are too many people he will have to see on Monday and I doubt if he will be able to get it all done in one day. I know he doesn't want to come home too soon, and he is not rushing to be d/c. So we will see what Monday brings.
He is still doing good. He has been tired and tires very easily. He is now napping.

Thanks for the anniversary wishes everybody! Paul and I went to Charlotte for the AutoFair Friday and we came home last night. There was every bit of 3,000+ cars there, plus a ton of vendors selling just about anything. We had a great time.
Lonnie, we are so glad to hear that you are doing so much better. You look great, and I'm sure your legs will be back to dancing in no time! We can really praise God that he took such good care of you!
And as always Marcia, we are praying for you and Lonnie's speedy recovery! haha

Love to all,
Paul and Addy

Hi Addy and Paul, Happy Anniversary, Hope you have many more.
Love and Prayers

Happy Ann. Paul And Addy, Hope you have a beautiful Day.

Lonnie you sure look like you are enjoying being pampered there, Lol Glad you are on the up side. Just stay positive,

Happy Anniversary Paul and Addy!

Hey Lonnie,
Just checking in to tell you that you had better enjoy this down time because Marcia is going to have a huge to-do list by the time you get back on those feet. Matthew saw your truck at Larry's. HE was surprised at how bad it was, I think. He hadn't seent he pictures on here yet. Hope you have a good day and we are still waiting on a blog from you:) Love ya!

Janet

We visited him yesterday and I must say his spirit is up! Anybody who could tell the docs to "be careful with those legs, I am a pole dancer!" Is definitely looking on the brighter side :) We love you and are praying for you Lonnie. We are praying for you too Marsha! You're gonna need it!

Monica sounds like you and mark are doing everything right! Love the picture after the applebutter!

We went to visit Lonnie yesterday...he seemed to be feeling pretty good except when he laughed or coughed.

Great job at posting there David! I told Lonnie yesterday that he would be blogging before he was out of his wheel chair! He disagreed but I think he likes this on line stuff!

Checking in from Florida

Lonnie,
Good to hear that you are doing so well. I always figured you were the tough one in the family and this accident confirms it. Most people with as many broken bones as you have would be complaining non-stop but I hear that isn't the case. Take care of yourself, take the Doctors' and Nurses' advice, even if it means staying down an extra day, you don't need any setbacks or infections to set in. Now that we are "on-line" we'll send a note now and then. We're praying for you.
David and Julie

Marsha tell Lonnie that I got a reply from Todd Franklin and sorry to say his excavator is in the shop and will be there a while so I don't think he will be going to work Mon or Tues anyway!
Sounds like he is having a good day!

That is great Marsha, They wouldn't be amused at his attitude if they knew him like we do , would they?I guess that's a good thing though.Tell him we all said hi and we are praying for a speedy recovery, We want to see him jumping hoops in about 4 weeks.Lol

Lonnie is doing better today. He is in no pain now except from his broken ribs. He has drains from the lt arm and rt leg. They are to releave swelling so his arm and leg can heal. He will probable get home Monday or Tuesday if all goes well. The doctors are telling him to keep in good spirits it will help. They are all amased at his attitude.

Marleigh had her 1 month dr appt yesterday. She has gained a 1/2 lb and has grown 1 inch putting her at 9 lbs 21 inches. Everything checked out great with her :) She did get a shot and I have never heard her scream and cry like that yet. I didn't cry but it did bring tears to my eyes. After a few minutes though she calmed down and was fine, thank goodness. She spent the night with mom and dad again last night and a good time was had by all.

A Poem Writtten By Sandy Evans

Mine Disaster at Massey Energy’s Upper Big Branch Mine in Raleigh County, W.Va.This Monday has drawn to an end for me...

With black, dust clouds around me...a light I now see.

From fear to peace..I feel the transition:

From a dirty, old coal mine...to a beautiful mansion. I’m sorry I leave you to grieve me this way;

But I wouldn’t come back to these mines one more day.

The tasks left undone you now must complete

I’m resting today at my dear Savior’s feet. And don’t weep too long...Go on live your lives.

This to my family...the children and wife...

I will see you again...in the sweet bye and bye;..

Where coal dust will never again dim my eyes. So pack away the bucket, the light and the hat.

I have everlasting life...Won’t need all of that.

And someday when God’s ready...he’ll call you to the fold...

I’ll wait for you by the river, on the streets of pure gold. Massey Employees 2010- “I Once Was Lost...But now, I’m Found...” Amazing Grace....

Timmy and Lonnie

The Day Before

a few days later

Lonnie thinks he will be able to go back to work tomorrow!  Will  his excavator be ready?

Thanks Marcia for all the updates on the surgery. I tried the # 1-304-388-3282 and I never got a answer. Is that the right #.
We'll try and call again later

I am so happy the surgery went ok, glad they got it all done Now just for him to mend , with all the prayers he will.

We are so glad that surgery went well. I didn't catch it all, but apparently Grandma got happy this morning when they were praying about it.

Lonnie is back in his room from surgery, he said this surgery was harder than the last. They did a lot more to him this time. The plastic surgeon said the wound looked good so he did the muscle graft and the skin graft. He was pleased with surgery. The plastic surgeon said if he felt like he could get in a chair he would be allowed. Lonnie said he doubts he would be getting up anytime soon. His arm was set with a plate to make sure it is more stable due to he will be using it for assistance getting in and out of bed. Lonnie said he felt like he was just thrown out of a plane. His friends has come down and he is up in the bed talking to them, he seems better now, just drowsy. Like always he is barking orders, now with a smile most of the time. He has been very polite to all the doctors and nurses, he jokes with all them. He said if he is nice they will do more for him and he is right. They all joke with him too. Even coming out of surgery he was joking with everyone. He is full of it. I will let you know.

Lonnie came through surgery with flying colors. They were able to close the leg wound with skin from his thigh and he is expected to get up by monday.

Marleigh had her first taste of apple butter last night at grandma's :)

I agree with Janet, this would be a good time for Lonnie to become quite the blogger LOL!!!!

Lonnie,

You are quite a popular guy. Once I put on there that we were praying for you, people from all over were saying that they know you and that their prayers were with you. One specifically wanted me to tell you that she is praying and that she hopes you are doing well...Crystal Wykle. She went to school with me. She said you were a sweetheart (then, i asked her if we were talking about the same guy.) Just kidding:) She said you did their septic on Loops.

Kaiden is counting on that Escavator. He wants to go to uncle Lonnie's instead of Nana's when I go back to work.

Olivia wants to know if Uncle Lonnie has to have shots. She said to tell you that it doesn't hurt. If only she knew, right?

Anyway, we love you and hope you are feeling better soon. I was thinking that now would be the ideal time for you to start blogging!

Janet

Lonnie is doing well. He has been giving his nurses a hard time. He really likes all his doctors. My cousin said he has some really good doctors. They will attempt to do a muscle flap graft and a skin graft tomorrow. The doctor told him that if the wound doesn't look like it will take due to it isn't healing well or it is too dirty they will just clean the wound and wait 2 days and try it again. Say a special prayer that all is well tomorrow, and it heals well. He keeps saying he hopes all goes well tomorrow. They told us he will be bed confined for 4-5 days after the graft to help ensure it heals well. The surgery will be at 730am tomorrow. He was told he had 3 broken ribs today. We had already suspected this due to he was having alot of pain when he coughed. The x ray confirmed this today. He really appreciates everyone checking on him. Ruth, he appreciates the gift basket but now he is concerned he will get fat. Tell Kaiden, Lonnie will be getting a new excavator for him to ride in. We were told tonight that the Greyrock driver who went into his lane had been driving only 3 days for them. My understanding was he was young. Lonnie is DICTATING ORDERS,so he is better. Lonnie said to tell everyone it was a large gravel dump truck, and he was driving 55 miles/ hr , we think the other driver may have been going a little faster. Ok, wish him well and pray for the best.

That is wonderful Daniel, How do you go about getting bibles in his Memory?

Memorial Bibles

The memorial bible count for dad is now 28, which would put the number of people that they could possible reach at 72,800. What a wonderful thought

Lonnie

Lonnie is scheduled for surgery tomorrow afternoon for his arm and
also to hopefully skin graft his leg where they did the surgery
yesterday.
Trish

Peace out!

Lonnies new room is 511-2 and his phone number is 3043883282

Cindy & Marsha, Thanks for the number so that we can call. It is 5pm and I just called. He is moving to a reg room and the nurse said to give her about half-hour. Room 511 Bed 2 Please tell Lonnie that Kaiden is very concerned about the escavator (I don't know how to spell that).

Marsha, so glad everything went well with Lonnie's surgery, and you are all in our prayers, If he has a room to his self is there a ph# where we can call him? if so please post it ok., Tell him we are all praying for his speedy recovery.Love you all.

We're glad to hear everything has gone well with the surgery :) Hope Lonnie continues to heal quickly and wonderfully!! Have they said when he may get to come home?

Lonnie just got out of surgery, the doctor said he did well. His lt. hip was fractured but will heal without repair. They repaired his rt. lower leg, they said his leg was left open with a wound vac applied so it could heal and remove any bacteria which may be present. He also has had plate and pins put in his leg. They said they had to remove small bone fragments from his leg. They said he may need plastic surgery later to close the wound if it doesn't heal . He will probably just have a bad scare. He also broke his lt great toe and his lt forearm. They said his arm will have to be repaired later this week. I will keep you updated.

This is Cindy. We wanted to share the number to ICU to check on Dad. It is 1-304-388-3790 and the pin is 100105277. He is awaiting for surgery to be scheduled on his leg and they finally removed the neck brace this morning. Marcia said he rested well as can be expected last night.
Continue praying for him and the nurses having to work with him:) He is pretty much his usual self, so this is good.

I am sure by now anyone thAt reads the blog knows about lonnies accident. No one else was hurt and he is in icu in charleston but apparently due to the mining accident theY aren't letting many folks in. Ariel says he is more worried about his truck than anything so that's a good sign. Steve said he looked pretty rough but he only got a five minute look and they run him out. Mommy has faired well through it all. She shouted and got happy a couple times and was amazed that when I put it on facebook the people that responded that were praying or saw it happen or dialed 911. She was just amazed. So I read her all the posts and prayers and where people were from it kept I'd quite busy. She didn't lose any weight it just stayed the same. Her blood pressure was sky high but that was understandable. So we are hoping for a less eventful day tomorrow!

Easter in MI

Trish, that is beautiful, you are getting to be quite the poet. those are so good.

Good Morning to all,
We have had a blessed Easter already. Mommy, Danny's mom Helen, and I went to sunrise service. She said she had never been to one "there". It is at the Wallace and Wallace Mausoleum. Kind of weird singing with all those bodies around but you get used to it. Anyway, she had a really good time. We even got a biscuit from McDonald's afterwards. They always feed us too! Helen and I were walking her and we both had her arms but she stumbled and managed to fall. Everyone came running of course, but I reassured them, My Mama knows how to fall. And she did it so graceful. Didn't even skin up her knees. After we came home I checked her BP and it was 120/70. She ate her sausage biscuit, a whole cup of yogurt, a cup of water with her medicine and 2 cups of tea. I told her I was taking her to sunrise EVERY morning. She is asleep on the couch til church time. I couldn't sleep last night and this poem popped in my head! Just a taste of Mommy's routine, but it pretty much says it all.

Mommys Day

She slides out of bed to start her day, but glimpses in the mirror first on her way.
The look on her face is priceless, as she sees herself, “Boy, that hair is a mess”
On with the morning chores of getting out of bed, first with the eyeballs and then with the teeth, or just to spice things up, we do it opposite instead.
Oh so chilly, as she grabs her slippers and duster, now she is ready, “Its breakfast time, Buster!”
Maybe just yogurt, toast and tea, but it’s the time of the day she likes best you see.
After getting ten children off to school every day, that internal clock refuses to lay
Sometimes it’s five-thirty, but definitely no later than seven, well good grief its daylight, and just listen at those birdies.
Calling my name, the birds sing “chirp chirp,” as I head to my rocker, we start the day the same.
Monotonous some may say, not me, it’s a routine and I like it that way.
After breakfast it’s time for a nap, “well I did get up early you know; I bet most of you can’t say that!”
Time for some chores, folding clothes or hanging them out, “I love doing laundry it’s never a bore”
Some days are unique, as there are kids to play with, maybe roll a ball or just hide and seek.
By now its lunch time, could be anything you see, as my daughters are “good cookers” just like me!
The afternoon is filled with outdoors or in, enjoying the company, doing devotions and looking at pictures of where I’ve been.
The road has been long, and yes, sometimes hard. But God put me here and isn’t finished; to want to leave would just be wrong.
Almost time for bed, you see I turn in early, take off the eyeballs, the teeth, one more look at that head!
As I lay on my pillow, I think “Will this be the night, I dream of my husband, my best friend, my lover?”
Then I drift off to sleep, and see him in Heaven, Smiling at me as if to say, “I’m waiting but no hurry, this will surely keep!”
“We will have eternity after you get here, enjoy your time on earth with the babies, you love so dear.”
Before she knows it, it’s that internal clock, but just for this morning, let’s turn on the snooze, why not?
