Should I talk about my grandmother's worsening condition? She's no longer really eating anything. My mother used to be able to wake her and feed a few bites, but since yesterday evening, she won't wake up. I sat with mom a couple of hours last night. I may be able to tonight also. I can only go when D is home since there is no way I will take the girls up there to the hospital.
There's been a discussion of a feeding tube, but her kidneys are not functioning, so we all know where this is heading. A sad, depressing weekend. D and the girls have been our bright spots.
I could lighten things up by telling you that my wonderful husband sent me a sweet Valentine email from work this morning, so it was the first thing I saw when I woke up.
Or I could tell you how thankful I am that the dreadful heartburn that plagued me early last week seems to have let up a little. It's not making my eyes bleed fire anymore.
And what I may be most grateful for this week: No call from the doctor's office so far, saying I need to come in for the three hour glucose test. Thank God for little miracles.
But mostly I am thinking of Memaw. And doing lots of remembering.

Meredith, I am sorry about your Memaw!!! But you are doing the right thing...remembering the good things..the things that make our Memaw's so special!! Stay strong. Hugs and blessings, Sabrina
I pray that your grandmother doesn't suffer. I would not want to be kept alive by artificial means. If the Lord calls me home, don't get in my way.
Can't wait to see the sonogram photos. I only had one and that was with the third as the doctor thought there might be twins. At least that was what he said so I would agree to one. I can relate to your heartburn. That is one thing I remember very clearly from my pregnancies. I was told it was because I have such a short torso that everything gets pushed out of place.
God bless you and your family.
((((Mere)))) I am so sorry. Your family and you are in my prayers. Feeding tubes are no fun...and carry their own risks and discomforts..unless they are giving you reason to hope I think Memaw will be more comfortable without it.
So sorry my friend.
