Monday, April 18th
It’s Maggie’s spring break and we are headed to South Carolina to spend some time with her as we do every year! We got the camper set up at Huntington State Park in time to head to the Hills for happy hour and dinner.
Minutes into happy hour, Gretchen stood up and said she had a pain in her side. Five minutes later, Gretchen was in severe pain ( I’ve never seen anyone in pain like hers!) and could barely breathe so we headed to the ER! The staff did a great job stabilizing Gretchen and indicated she needed to be transferred over night to a trauma center. The doctor got her in to McLeod Medical Center in Florence and she was transferred by ambulance arriving at 6am. By the time I arrived in Florence about 9:30am, Gretchen had already been operated on to repair a hole in her intestine and was in recovery! So we are greatful both hospitals quickly diagnosed and treated Gretchen promptly!
A few days after surgery!
Friday
Maggie, Kelley and I moved the camper to the KOA. We stayed in the Myrtle Beach area so Grandma could see Maggie when she got out of the hospital!
Wednesday 27th
Gretchen got out of the hospital and she is on the road to recovery!
Relaxing at the KOA campground.
Mother’s Day
Maggie and Kelley came to Ocean Lakes (Our 3rd Campground) and we played miniature golf, and had dinner with them to celebrate the holiday! I’m positive spending time with you guys set Grandma on the fast track to recovery from her surgery. I’m so glad we kept the camper in the area so she could spend time with you two!
Well Maggie it was not the spring break we anticipated was it? Anyway, it was great seeing you and hearing all of the great things you are doing in school and dance! Kelley, thanks for all of your help providing meals, moving the camper, doing wash, etc. I appreciate your help during the busy weeks you have! And just think, school will be out in a few weeks and you can relax for a few months!
