Further thoughts on the last few days...

Okay, so Grandma and Grandpa came and went.

This means much more than that statement says...first it means that even they can see that Beanie is stable...WOO HOO!!!

But it means something else too. It means the my Gram Marie is sick. She was admitted to the hospital because she fainted, it turned out that she had pneumonia. Apparently she just wasn't getting enough oxygen.

This has been very difficult for her...because, for one thing, she feels like CRUD. Let's lay it right out there. But for another, when you aren't getting enough oxygen, your brain doesn't work like it should, so all the stuff they are doing to help her get better is confusing to her and it makes her MAAA-AAD!

This is also hard on my Uncle K and Aunt M who are with her, helping her day by day as she struggles through this.

On the up side, there has been some progress with the pneumonia and as long as she is wearing her mask she is keeping her oxygen levels up where the doctors want them...but the levels drop if she even takes the mask off long enough for a drink or to put on a bit of chap stick.

So, I ask that you once again keep my family in your thoughts and prayers...for Gma and Gpa as they drive HOME (they should be there today) and then as they decide whether to drive or fly to Gram Marie and when. For Gram Marie herself for continued healing and that she may understand and to somehow be comforted. For Uncle K and Aunt M who are in a very joyful but difficult time living with and caring for Gram Marie. I know there is no place they would rather be than at her side, she is so loved...but I also know that these are tough days, please pray for strength as they do what they must.

See ya around...
