Not a good night.....

After I had done a whole bunch of yard work last night, I came into the house to relax. As I am winding down, I get a call from my sister in law who lives with my brother Ladd in Oregeon (the ones that own the beautiful camp ground) and she has some bad news. Apparently, Ladd got up Monday night and tripped over his own feet, fell backwards, hit his head on their counter and BROKE HIS NECK!!! Well, his kids woke him up and he said he was fine and WENT TO BED! Well, at about 3:00 am on Tuesday he woke up and couldn't feel parts of his body and rest was in so much pain he couldn't even think. So, they rushed him the ER and when they got home last night she called me. He broke the first and second vertebrae and is in a hard neck cast. He will be seeing one of the best neck trauma doctors today to see if they will be doing anything behond the neck brace....I am praying that is all they will do. But wait, theres MORE!!! Then Debbie proceeds to tell me that last week they found a tumor on her adrenal gland and they are awaiting to find out if 1) it is benign or malignant, and 2) how they will proceed with either chemo, removal of the tumor, or removal of the whole adrenal gland. Soooooo, needless to say, it was a great night! I got to call all the other siblings to let them know, and his ex-wife since it is their kids that are up there for the summer. Tonight I get to call to find out what the specialists have to say. SOOOOOO, if I seem a little preoccupied in the next few days, you will know why. Oh, and did it help my headache.....HELL NO! !!!!!
