Darrel Abrahamson (68)

Message from Phyllis: Dunseith, ND

Hello to all.

Darrel is resting at the moment==he has had his ups and downs. Today is 2 weeks since his fall on the pipe on the bucket of the tractor. You can imagine what a painful fall, but then he developed fever,infection and gangrene. The surgery took care of the infection and gangrene. Now he has been fight a blockage in the intestine. 2 weeks of nothing by mouth or clear to soft diet. He has lost weight. we try to keep his spirits up. He enjoys all the cards , well wishes and prayers. Tries to exchange places with me, so he can go farm. Minimumof 3-4 months healing time, but first we have to get the intestine working.

Just a little update on my husband. It is 11:20pm Friday , July 16—–he is asleep and I pray tonight goes well Phyllis .

Hi Gary

Here is a picture from last night at the Pizza Inn with some friends.
In the picture starting at the left with the green shirt is Ron Hett,
Wayne Johnson, my brother Greg Knutson, Dick, Wayne Johnson’s wife
Crystal, and Barb Hett. Wayne and Crystal are friends originally from
Sherwood and now live in Bottineau. Wayne drives truck for Dick in the
fall hauling hay. We celebrated a little early as Dick’s birthday is
actually on the 20th. Ron & Barb left for Alaska this morning on a
month vacation. Thanks Gary.

Brenda, this is a beautiful picture. The only thing lacking is you.

Congratulations Dick.

Hi Gary,

My aunt’s, Alvina Brudwick Christianson, 90th birthday is on Sunday, July 18. There is a “box” in the Courant, stating there will be a card shower for her. As I don’t have this week’s Courant, I can’t scan it. However, if you would include the info in your newsletter, I would appreciate it. Alvina lives in the long term wing at St. Andrews Hospital in Bottineau. She’s doing VERY well. :)If cards arrive after her birthday–no problem. Her address is:
