The term “doppelganger” is used to describe someone who looks just like someone else. They say that theoretically everyone has a doppelganger. Robbie’s doppelganger is Joe Hafner – someone he graduated from high school with. He says that teachers would always get them confused because they favored so much. Joe paid Robbie a visit today and [...]

Robbie had a sleepless night last night. His pain is significant these days and he is trying to work through it with medicine and rest. Right now the kids and I are trying to let him get some sleep so that when he wakes up we can have chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. We are [...]

We are settling in to being at home. Robbie had 2 doctor visits yesterday, which were tiring, but so great to see the doctors and nurses that have extended so much love to our family.

Robbie came home today! We got back into town late this afternoon. The kids were ecstatic to see Dad and had prepared pictures for him and balloons along the wheelchair ramp in the carport. The Fields family had a great banner on the door, too (I’ll get a picture tomorrow in the daylight). Robbie is [...]

A few days ago, I downloaded a new ringtone onto Rob’s cell phone. Michael Buble’s “Home” plays anytime his phone rings. Maybe it’s working on the doctors, too Only kidding – I know that our gracious God who was not caught off-guard by the accident is continuing to restore him. Rob’s cleanout from yesterday [...]

Robbie is out of the o.r. and resting. They did not close the wound as we had prayed, but we trust that God is in control and that the decisions made are in Robbie’s best interest. We will talk to the doctor later in the evening and see what they will do from here. Scenario [...]

We have had a good weekend. Rob’s parents brought the kids for a visit and we had a wonderful time together (I have pictures, but I’m unable to post them from the hospital network – long story). We visited with our dear friends Michael & Lori, and got a surprise visit from North Carolina – [...]

We are anxiously awaiting a visit from the kids today. Rob has had a bath, and feels ready to see them. He has missed them so much! Rob’s surgeon came in this morning and told us that it is still up in the air whether they will do another o.r. cleanout or not. If they [...]
