On Saturday February 23, 2013 we had an open house to celebrate not only dad's 55th birthday, but also to celebrate the miracle of his recovery. We had approximately 70-80 people stop in to visit with dad from 2:00-6:00 p.m. It was a wonderful day full of food, family, friends, and celebration. Thank you so much to everyone who came out!!
Here are a few pictures from the day:
Maylin and a "Happy Birthday" crown.
Lots of company and lots of delicious food!
We had many very special guests who came out to visit with dad. The Pulaski fire guys came out to the house. Dad was able to meet and thank them for saving his life. (I was going to get a picture of them with dad but they left before I could get a picture). We are so incredibly thankful for all that they did to save my dad.
Dad and Tom Cure are pictured above. When my dad collapsed on December 22, 2012 it was Tom who immediately started CPR on my dad. Every doctor and nurse that worked on my dad said that Tom's actions saved my dad's life. We are eternally grateful for what he did for our family and for my dad.
Pictured above is Dad and Dr. Murray. Dr. Murray was one of the doctors that over saw my dad's care at Allegiance Hospital. It was such a blessing having him come to our home and talk with dad. Dad does not remember his stay at the hospital and does not remember ever having met Dr. Murray. However, Dr. Murray will never forget meeting my dad. While visiting with us he said that dad's recovery and healing are absolutely without a doubt "miraculous." Many came up and thanked Dr. Murray for all that he did for my dad. He humbly responded every time by saying, "I didn't do anything but sit back and watch the miracle happen." (Of course to which dad replied: "What do you mean you just sat back and watched? I just got a bill for $348,000.00 in the mail!) :-)
Thank you to everyone who came out and supported my dad and our family. It was a wonderful day and incredible celebration!!
