About Grandpa

Grandpa Pitts passed out for the third time. It happened on Tuesday. Two of the neighbors noticed him. He had made it to a chair on the porch but then had passed out. They called an ambulance and he was taken to Price Hospital. He wore a monitor for a day but the doctors told him that there didn't appear to be anything the matter with his heart. He does have pnuemonia and should be resting not out mowing his lawn and pulling weeds. He pulled weeds in a bent over position which, the doctor said, made the blood pool in his legs and then made him light-headed and dizzy. He is also having a hard time walking and so they gave him a cane which he doesn't think he needs to use. They did some more tests on his thyroid to see if that could be causing a problem. Most of the results of all the tests, including the CAT scan, will not be available until Monday but you could call him anytime. That would make him happy.

Love, Mom
