Sometime in the night of Monday March 3, or the early hours of Tuesday March 4th the Granny-O and Poppa's house caught on fire. Thankfully they were awakened by both the smoke detectors and man's best friend, Poppa's labrador. They both made it out of the house safely, although Granny-O did receive some burns to her hand(s) and face. Unfortunately because of the distance to the nearest fire station, the house appears to be a complete loss. They were able to get the car out of the carport in time to save it, however the pickup has been destroyed as well.
Granny-O was taken to the Piggott hospital for an initial evaluation of her burns, and to treat her for any smoke inhalation. She was transferred to the burn unit in Memphis around 4am Tuesday morning. Late Tuesday afternoon she was ready to be released, aside from a check with an ophthalmologist. Once that turned up OK she was released from Memphis and returned to Piggott to get some rest. She has to return to Memphis on Friday to have her dressings/bandages changed.
For the time being, Granny-O & Poppa are staying in an apartment that Phil/Susie own in Piggott. Any cards or other well wishes can be directed through the vet clinic:
Crowley's Ridge Vet Clinic
176 N Front Ave
Piggott, Arkansas 72454
Any comments left on this (or any other) post will be taken to Granny-O & Poppa each day or so. Hopefully that covers most of the details, but if you have questions please leave them in the comments as well.
