Just over 3 weeks ago, Max's mom had a heart attack followed by open-heart surgery that ended up being a triple bypass. She is recovering well now but her recovery originally wasn't going as quickly as hoped. This event has had the whole family rallying around and helping Max's parents get back on their feet. (Max's dad had a stroke a couple months ago taking away his ability to drive.) They were also in the middle of buying a house and flooded with many other family and financial responsibilities. Max has spent countless hours keeping on top of their bills and getting their mortgage going.
Max was visiting nearly everyday and sometimes the boys and I were able to visit too. For family night last week Charlie and Miles made this picture for Nana Kay and then we went for a visit.
Charlie loves pretending to be Grandpa with his walking stick and Red hat.
He also loved to help Grandma get around. Grandma was really doing all the work with her feet but Charlie still had fun.
And there was even a fish tank..so that made Charlie extra excited to go visit grandma.
Kay just came home from the rehab center yesterday. Max's sister and her family are staying at their house to help out. She is recovering well now and is ever so grateful for the many people that have helped her and her family. I'm also so grateful for the example that Max has set for the boys and me of honoring your parents. I've already noticed in Charlie that he has an increased desire to help and make people feel better.
geez. That's a lot to deal with at once! glad everyone is getting better.
