Poor Pop Pop

Two weeks ago my Dad (Pop Pop) fell off 12 ft roof while working. It happened in Orlando so the ambulance took him to Orlando Regional Medical Center, which has the main trauma unit and neurosurgeons that he needed to see. After many days we found out that he has a fractured vertebrae in his lower back. He has a brace that holds his back and an extension down his right thigh as well. He was at the hospital from Tuesday afternoon till Saturday morning and Mommy and Gabe went and visited everyday.
Gabe was such a good boy, he would lay with his Pop Pop and talk to him. It was good for him to be able to see all the grand kids when he was feeling pretty bad. He is going to have to wear the brace for 12 weeks the doctor said. Gabe and I have been staying with him during the week so that Gigi could go back to work and not have to worry so much. He has a walker to help him get around and this weekend even ventured out to the mall twice with the grand kids.
Emma thought it was pretty cool that Pop Pop was getting wheeled around just like her. Get well soon Pop Pop, we love you!!
