Hi all!
As many of you may already know Willie DeJoode (my grandpa) fell a couple weeks ago and broke his hip. He had surgery and as a result is now at Mill Pond in Ankeny recovering and receiving therapy. He is extremely homesick this time more so than last time he was there. He keeps saying he wants to come home already but the problem is he can't walk yet. While I realize many of you cannot make the trek to Mill Pond in Ankeny to visit with him I would like to ask if you would consider taking a minute to write him a note or send him a card; it doesn't have to be anything fancy. Perhaps just some words of encouragement or a funny story you remember involving him to help lift his spirits. He LOVES getting mail and I know that he would love to hear from as many of you as possible. He can receive mail at Mill pond at the below address:
1201 Southeast Mill Pond Court
Attn: Willie DeJoode room #28B
Ankeny, IA 50021
Mill Pond Telephone: (515) 964-2273
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers while he is there. I will try to keep this updated on his progression and when he finally will get to go home.
Warm Regards,
Katie
Hello Katie,
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping us up to date! I will definitely get a note card in the mail. Thanks for the address! Lynsley
Hi Katie, Dick and I just got back from DSM, IA. Dick had an uncle who passed away so we wanted to go to the services which was on Saturday morning. While there we did get to Mill Pond to see Brother Willie and we got him to laughing before we left. He was awfully tired and he needs his rest, so we didn't stay too long. He looked good, and we enjoyed our visit with him. Thank you so much for updating us and please do keep us informed as to how he is doing. We'll get him some mail going here soon.
