“My daddy started the physical therapy program at our community hospital in 1975, then my brother followed in his footsteps and was a doctor of PT in the same department for 15 years,” she explained. “Rodney has worked at this hospital since I was a little girl coming to visit daddy. He and my brother became buddies, too.”
Napier also thanked Rodney for his care over the years whenever she visited the hospital.

She suffered from severe stomach pains for years before a surgery revealed her appendix had been repeatedly bursting and healing itself leaving her organs wrapped in scar tissue. Another procedure successfully removed it. Despite fears that the damage would prevent her from having children, she and Ben have welcomed two little girls.
