Here we go again!

Well, yesterday I got a call from my family telling me that my Grandma had a heart-attack, and she now needs a quintuple bi-pass. I grew up living next to my grandma so I have always been very close to her. This is my dad's mother. She is 77 years old and right now only weighs 87 pounds. Because her arteries were so blocked, her body has not been getting any nourishment for quite some time. Therefore, they cannot perform any surgery until her body is up for it. She will be in the hospital for quite a while until she has the surgery. The doctors don't want her to leave before she has it. So, they will be feeding her lots of protein and healthy foods to build her body up. She is a very stubborn lady, so I feel sorry for those nurses. ;o) We will be going up there next weekend to visit my family and check on everyone. My mom had her first chemo treatment yesterday, and also has to go in for outpatient surgery on her kidneys on Monday. There is a blockage causing problems, and they don't know yet if it is a tumor or a blood clot. Last week, they also found tumors on her lungs. They have not told us yet what that means for her prognosis.

I know that some of you may wonder how in the world I can deal with all of this along with my own family as well as being pregnant, and I just have one word....God. He seriously is the only reason I am not curled up in a ball on the floor. Believe me, I have had my moments, but they are few and far between and very mild. Every time I feel scared, I just pray. I ask God to give me strength to get through each moment and each day, and I cannot tell you how much it has helped me through all of this. I know whatever happens is God's will and He knows what is best for us..even though we may not agree or be asking "why".

I hope that you all have a great New Year!! I will keep you posted on my families progress. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers!

Ta Ta for Now!
