  • Prayers, please. (Sorry to bother you guys ><)

    So, as a few know, this week has been just... ridiculously bad for me. The worst of which is finding out that my grandmother, who has been going through chemo, is deteriorating. I had no idea, I'd been calling her up every other day to find out how she was doing, and she'd been telling me she was slowly getting better.

    Well, come to find out, she's not. And she'd been keeping me away from talking to my uncle, who would've told me this.

    I've not seen her in over a decade at this point, and she has not seen my children either. Part of why I've been calling and asking about her was to find out when she'd be okay with us coming to visit. She has been extremely agitated over that matter, doesn't want us to see her like this, and we've acceded to her wishes.

    Well, things are getting very, very bad, they're going for IV chemo now, and don't think she'll survive the treatment. I'm making videos of the kids at this point, of them just talking to the camera and telling her how their day is going, and having them show her their favorite toys, sing to her, and whatnot....going to make a DVD of it and mail it out this weekend.

    Please, if you can, pray, send good thoughts, whatever. I want her to get better, but if that's not possible, I want her to change her mind, and let us come to visit. Just....I've had guilt for years (that's only just finally been abating) about not seeing her. If this happens....I don't know. I just don't know.
    By popular request....I am now officially the Enemy of Normalcy.

                          He has tried, she refuses. At this point, he's promised basically that if she takes a dramatic turn for the worse, he'll let me know immediately.

                            AWESOME UPDATE OF AWESOMENESS

                            Her cancer has SHRUNK! The doctor was like "whaaaa", but we don't care, this is AWESOME. As an added bonus, the chemo that she was going to be starting, is being recalculated to a much lower level, a more tolerable dose that she should be able to handle much better.

                            I spoke with my uncle on the phone about it for like an hour today, its sounding like we'll be able to visit her later on sometime near the end of the year. He was really apologetic about the fact I can't visit her right now, but that he wanted to keep her as calm and isolated from possible germy things as much as possible. I totally understand, and with this news....I'm just feeling so much better about things now.

                            YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

                              Love your description of the doctor's reaction!

                              That is SUCH wonderful news! And it's so great that you will be able to visit her after all! (Are you still going to send her the videos?)
