Bubby,
Please edit your post.
It freaked me out reading the first line of the first sentence.
My prayers are with Ben and his daughter.
Thanks for the post Bub. Perhaps a call of support won't hurt??
Let me know if that would be wise.

He has no Paypal account, but I am working with him to wire something thru Moneygram to the nearest Walmart to help out. Got no great love for MalWart, but I do have some love for a brother.

Wish I was close enough to lend a spare bed or something, but I'm a bit out of the way. Keep us posted of anything else needed though.

Good evening all!

THANK YOU all for your prayers and support! It is an amazing feeling to have such a family as this.

My wife does not like me to share a lot but - a little background.

My daughter has two wonderful boys, Byron is 4 and Carsyn just turned 2.

She sent them to Iowa with the biological contributor for the summer. About three weeks in he calls her up and says that he can't do it and he needs her to come get them. So she freaks out and starts in panic mode then calms down and takes a week to get things going. We dropped her off at the airport in Sacramento on Saturday the 25th and she flew to my sisters house in denver. My sister loaned her a car and she headed to Des Moines. She arrived at around 5 am and loaded up the kids and headed back north to return the car and catch a train home. She was 10 miles out after she picked up the kids and she fell asleep at the wheel, over corrected and rolled the car two and a half  times! The responding officer told her that she stopped shprt of going off a bridge!

Someone indeed was watching over her and her boys.

My dad and I are driving to Iowa so we can bring them all home. We are currently in Rock Springs, Wyoming and will head out again in the am after some much needed rest. Zuma and JW - I am so grateful for your offers and I will keep you posetd as we progress. We are hoping to be in Des Moines by tomorrow evening. Once I know more I will call or text each of you. the boys father's family is of no help either emotionally or financially so we are hoping to deal with them as little as is possible.

Again - THANK ALL OF YOU! I really appreciate the support!

Morning All -

My dad and I arrived safely at about 1130 last night. Currently we are at the Best Western Plus in Clive (a  suburb).

Zuma - I will give you a call later.

My grandson has been moved to a regular room.  Docs want to keep him til at least till Wednesday of next week. Hios incision runs from the top of his business and stops at his sternum. His urine is still pink to red. He is having reactions to the children's motrin. It is too sweet and is making him upchuck.  He was asleep last night and we are at least waiting for rush hour traffic to let up before we go back to the hospital. The baby daddy's family is all about making you feel bad so they don't have too. My sister met his mother and immediately did not trust her. My sis is a pretty nice gal. 

It is a long Fing drive for sure. Antelope for ever, turkeys in Nebraska, Buffalo in Nebraska didn't see any elk. only deer were squished on the road.

Thank you all so much for your prayers, good thoughts and support.

Gratefully,
Ben

Howdy Folks!

I hope you all had a great time at the classic. After two very long weeks I am back home and back to work. My daughter is still bruised up and recovering slowly from the concussion she sustained duiring her crash. My grandson got all of his staples and catheter out on May 6. He is healing well. Quite a few folks from PA and our families helped us out financially which was a huge blessing.  Finding a rental house for 75$ a night in Jefferson helped too.  For all you wood workers out there checkout RVP 1875 on google. It was an amazing shop. 500 hand planes!

Thank you all for the prayers and good thoughts during this ordeal and in your everday lives.

Ben
