Opa & Nathan

Hi everyone, we have been looking at pictures of Opa and find it is bringing us joy thinking about these times. Please share pictures that you might have. This one is of when we just moved into our first home in Campbell River, and Dad was tickling Nate with his beard.

The Emperor's New Clothes

Here is a picture of dad taken on Sunday afternoon. He has since then been moved into his own room (not in ICU anymore). Now visiting will be a little better. I don't really have the most recent updated news so I will let Aliza add that, I just wanted to put the picture on for all to see.

Happy Birthday Hella

Happy 43 birthday Hella.
Hope your day is full of fun, laughter, and lots of love.
Have a good one!
Tequila anyone?

Update on Dad.

Hi everyone.

Well, Dad is in the Hospital, and so far he has Pneumonia in both lungs, also some type of infection going on. As of this morning they did not know what it was . He has a rash and swelling in his feet, and something affecting his liver. We are very happy Dad finally agreed to go the hospital, he should have gone a week ago, but would not. Now that he has antibiotics helping him fight this off he should get stronger and then they will run more tests. We will keep posting and calling as we know more.

Let it stop, let it stop, let it stop....

Hi Family, hope you are all having a nice white Sunday. We are presently at around 14 inches. Crazy eh? Hope you are all well and we hope that Dad gets better soon. Dach.

Can we get an update ?

Hey Opa we love You! We are praying for you. Nick, Bas, Simon
