We received a call today from my dad in Salt Lake City. He has been trying to pass a kidney stone since Tuesday and has been in and out of the hospital. He goes in to see how it's progressing and goes home with morphine to manage the pain.
Hope was at home when we got the call and we explained to her what was going on with Grandad. She went merrily on her way to school saying she would be praying for him.
Shae came home from school and we shared with her what was happening. She wondered if there was anything we needed to do. We assured her there wasn't much to do but wait. She was quiet, but seemed to be coping well. Our kids aren't exposed to a lot of hospitalization and illness so it is sometimes a difficult concept for them to grasp.
Addison comes home from work and I give her the news. "Grandad is trying to pass a kidney stone." Addison's reply. "To who."
She's the Roderick who's in college.
