Hi friends and family,
This blog is to keep everyone as constantly up to date on Grandpa's progress as possible! Also, it will help us organize visits, so that everyone gets an opportunity to spend some quality time with our dear Grandpa Barnett! Right now, Kathy is staying with him and it sounds like he will be leaving the hospital on Friday. Of course, as that changes, it will be updated here. The official diagnosis is terminal cancer that has spread through his body, but has not affected his brain. They are managing his pain and Grandma and Kathy are organizing with hospice services so that he can come home and be more comfortable.
I think it is appropriate that this news comes to us during the Christmas season when we are reminded in everyday life of our Savior and the importance of His birth. Grandpa understands the life and teachings of Jesus and loves the gospel and lives it to the fullest. We can take comfort in Grandpa's faith.
If you would like to post anything, please feel free to.
Love to all of you...
I just wanna say that we love you uncle bob! I have a lot of memories of uncle bob but the one's that stand out in my mind is well that fact he is always making a joke and making me laugh but from my earliest memory I could Never walk past him without him pulling my hair I would set and think about different ways I could run past him really fast so he could'nt get my pigtails or LAURA Ingles braids but he was way too fast and he somehow was able to grab them as I zoomed by him.
