We just came from seeing the Dr. and he confirmed that Grampa will need cornea transplants. Both eyes. He will do the right one first. So...Grampa has been placed on a donor list. He said it would probably be at least a year. They'll do the right one, and when they know it is completely healed, (approx. 3 to 6 months) they'll do the left. He said that they were badly in need of donors. (I've had my donor card signed for a long time!) - have you?
Reminds me of a joke Great Grampa Hudkins used to tell about the farmer who was trying to sell a blind horse. He told the potential buyer "She's a good horse, she just don't look so good."
We really enjoyed last weekend and are now looking forward to general conference.
Love you all very much,
Gramma

Well, I guess that it its good news of a sort to have surgery to look forward to, but it is sure amazing what they can do now. I am going to sign my donor card as well. Dad, you should go on the blog sometime - if I can figure it out, so can you!!!
Love you both,
Charlene
