Mom and Dad at the hospital


This morning around 4:30 am, dad had a seizure.  He was taken to the American Fork Hospital where they performed a CT scan to determine if any bleeding of the brain had occurred.  The test came back negative and he was given an IV with dilantin.  This was to help reduce the likely hood of another seizure.  Around 8:00 he was stable enough to be released from the hospital.  Dad's first request after leaving the hospital was an egg Mcmuffin breakfast from McDonalds.  He has been resting today to prepare for his granddaughter's 1st birthday!  Thanks again for all the love and support!

  1. Hey John and Family,

    Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. I'm so, so saddened by this turn of events for your family. A bunch of people think the world of you and are sending positive energy your way. Hang in there.

  2. No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God... and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven.

    Hang in there John, You know what we think of you! Gary
