family

Today around 5:30 or 6pm my sister Kelly called me to let me know that my grandma was going to the hospital. My dad was at work but left to go see what was going on. Apparently they brought her to the hospital for “shortness of breath”. My mom just called me a few minutes ago to tell me they found that she has pneumonia in both of her lungs. She is 88 (89 the end of this month) and has alzheimers. My dad said she can’t stand having tubes and wires on her and keeps forgetting what they are for and trying to take them off. She says she is really tired too and has a hard time breathing. They are going to keep her overnight in a regular room and said they will let her leave tomorrow if nothing changes.

I REALLY don’t like that hospital! Almost the same thing happened to my other grandma there. They made light of the situation and told us she would come home the next morning. That morning was when we got the phone call that she had passed away. I’ve not heard good news at all about that hospital and I used to work there (volunteer). I know how they take their time doing things and slack off.

I really wanted to post to let you know of the situation and ask for your prayers, that no matter what, God’s Will be done and to pray for me and my family as we wait. Thank you all so much! You have always been there for me and I’ll keep you posted as I find more out.

Java is continuing to grow all the time. I’m always afraid for her to sleep because I know when she wakes up she will be a foot taller haha. Yesterday she was able to get up on the bed without help. Sometimes when she runs at me she reminds me of a little baby pony. She has learned how to sit…most of the time on command. Last night Justin and I were watching a movie and we looked around and both our boys (the cats) and Java were sleeping…Pixel on the chair, Apache on the loveseat, and Java next to us on the couch. It was one of those sweet moments when all seems right with the world.

In a few months Justin and I will be a part of our church Relay for Life team again. We did it last year and had a really good time and got to know more people from the church. This year I’m excited that I might be able to bring Java along to walk with and for motivation.

Well, I’m gonna get started with some work and just hope that this day flies so the weekend can start.

This past Friday I was able to take some time off of work and meet Erin in Greensboro to go clothes shopping for Erin. I must say I did learn a lot about maternity clothes that I didn’t know before. As bad luck should have it, I only got to spend a few hours with Erin before having to head back home. I had so much fun though and get more and more excited everyday! Erin and baby continue to stay strong and healthy. She goes back in a few weeks for another checkup. I even got to see some pics of the baby hehe. It’s pretty tiny but still an exciting thing to see.

I was talking to Erin about what she thought she was having. I told her she was having a boy, because as long as I can remember I have pictured her with a boy. I also told her to never listen to me because always, when given a 50-50 chance I somehow pick the wrong 50. So, she will probably have a girl hehe but either way I will be so happy!

Well, I might blog more later but have to get some work done for now. See ya!
