Wishing Grandpa a Speedy Recovery

As the family all knows; Grandpa Howes had an accident this past Thursday. He did something he has always taught us kids NEVER to do. He went cutting wood by himself. On cutting down his third tree, the tree landed on him. He was pinned under the tree and couldn't breath. He was able to cut away a limb to give himself some air. He was then lucky enough to have his cell phone and he was able to get service. He called 911, and told them he needed help. He told them Racheal knew right were he was. When Racheal received the call from the sheriffs office her and Jay immediately went to help Grandpa. They were able to free him and get him to the hospital. He had blood in his lungs, and ended up very bruised up. He had to spend two days in the hospital, and he is still on oxygen. He can't walk much yet, but by all reports he is doing much better.

Get better soon Grandpa! And don't go alone next time!
