Dancing with the Druids at Stonehenge (;

Dad had his doctor's appointment on Thursday, and the doctor said he still can't bear any weight on his right side (where his hip had popped out), and he can bear some weight on his left, but it's not recommended. He won't be able to start bearing weight for 6 weeks. Due to that response from the doctor, there is nothing more they can do at the specialty hospital. So has been moved to Stonehenge in American Fork. This is a very new facility, only a year old, and we have already been so pleased with them! He has the best of care, and all the attention he could ask for (; He has been the talk of every place he goes because of how much progress he has made in such a short amount of time. And not to mention, the fact he's alive! As he was leaving the other hospital, all the nurses he has ever had, lined the hallway, and cheered for him as he was leaving. It touched him so deeply, he cried. We're going to miss that place! But I'm sure this hospital will be just as wonderful (: He might only be there a short time, they are talking about the option of home health, but my mom isn't sure about that yet, she wants him to have the best possible care and attention he will need. But after those 6 weeks, he'll for sure be home! But we all hope it will be sooner (: His new address at Stonehenge is 538 s. 500 e., American Fork, Utah. Room 122. Please, come visit! Visitors kinda keep him going, and cheer him up (: So don't hesitate to come whenever you can! And as often as you like! They don't really have set visiting hours there. He is also in a position to take calls and texts on his phone now, so feel free to contact him that way too (: We love you, and appreciate all you do!

  1. I wish we did not live thousands of miles away or we would come to visit. We continue to keep Brother Longmore in our prayers.

  2. He probably won't remember my name, but I sat in the back of his Gosepl in the Productive life class last semester and was displeased to hear the news when signing for his next class. He is the best teacher and can't wait for his recovery!
