Grandpa Bob fell and hit his head/ ear really hard a week ago on Saturday. He was able to get himself to his bed, and the only reason we knew about it is because whatever he hit his ear on cut almost all the way through and he had blood all over the side of his head. Dad and Mom ended up taking him into the hospital that night and stayed there overnight and they stitched his ear up and sent him home the next morning.
He seemed to be having a much harder time getting around after that and was complaining of back pain. I try to check on him at least 2-3 times a day, and so Tuesday afternoon the kids and I took over some cookies when we went to see him, and right before we left his house, I was setting out some food for him but he couldn't get up off his couch without me helping him. That was a new development, and then he fell on Wednesday and dad found him sitting on the floor, and then on Thursday my dad was out of town, so my mom was checking on him, and in the afternoon found him laying flat on the floor in his bathroom. He couldn't get up at all, even with my mom trying to help, so she had to call me and Cary over, and Cary had to pick him up. Long story short, when my dad got home that night, he and my mom loaded grandpa up and took him back to the hospital. He's still in the hospital right, and I think they've got him on antibiotics for a possible infection, but we're taking it day by day as to what will happen. Janille, Megan, Sharon, and Kenneth went and visited him Friday afternoon and he seemed to be doing a lot better already, but knew that he can't get around by himself right now.
