some of our grandpa's ('great' to madison) have had a rough couple of months.
grandpa lebaron: has diabetes, had an infection on his foot, needed surgery to clean it up, it got worse, needed his toe amputated, his blood sugar went crazy, was hospitalized, is now home and doing better, but has to watch his diet carefully to keep his diabetes in check.
grandpa ellsworth: had dental work done that didn't heal, had it checked, was diagnosed with squamous cell cancer of the jaw, had surgery to take out part of his jaw and reinforce it with a metal plate, and was healing well until he ate something and the remaining part of his jaw fractured, and had to go back into surgery to have a bigger plate put in and his lymph nodes removed.
both grandpas are doing much better now and we've been SO grateful to live close enough to stop by and check to see how they're doing. for awhile, every time we told madison we were going to grandma's house she'd say, "Bapa, owie," in a very sad, and concerned voice. hopefully that is in the past and our grandpas will continue to get better and be healthy!.that's a lot to ask for when it comes to old age but we enjoy having them around too much to be ready for anything else to happen right now!
{grandpa ellsworth was supposed to gain weight before his surgery so we took dinner over and had pumpkin pie for dessert. yum. i had two good helpers: madison and elmo}

Madison is the cutest little girl. I love the last picture how she's holding Elmo so he can see what's in the bowl. That's so funny.
