Stephanie’s mother, Nancy, sent us some pictures over the weekend. Below is a picture of Stephanie’s longlost (and unknown) stepbrother, Scott (the Saipan anthropologist), who visited – along with stepsister Vikki and her friend Loren – visited two weekends ago (when we were in Mt. Vernon, earlier) in Ohio to visit with Bobby, whose health is going up and down. Below is a picture of Scott (who we’ve never met) visiting Bobby, during a lighter moment.
I also got to look at – two weeks later – my Aunt Sandy’s detailed notes about Grandpa Beck’s Riverside hospital emergency room visit. Grandpa was supposed to go to his regular doctor, Dr. Wilson in Westerville, to follow up. Grandpa fainted, had some heart problems, continued eye deterioration, and a fungal infection in his lung that – in principle – should be biopsied and even removed – but neither procedure was recommended at his age (95).
My mother also got some information back from her doctors this week. The decogram (or whatever) she had gotten showed she had osteoporosis and also some spine fractures – apparently like what she and we had read about with “Dowager’s hump” – bent spine. She is to follow up with another scan and doctors and physical therapists shortly.
