Radiation, PEG Tubes, & Waiting.

If you follow me on Twitter, you already know that my grandma has been in the hospital for the last week. She was right in the middle of her radiation/chemo treatments, when she got a horrible infection on her lips/ throat. She was unable to eat.

So, last Tuesday, I drove her to the ER and told them we were there for a PEG tube. She was so weak and malnourished. 

Fast forward to Sunday when she finally got the PEG (feeding) tube. I'm hoping this helps her to finish her cancer treatments. She's so close. 

The last week has been full of waiting, and praying. Because my grandma can not leave me yet. There are still things that I need to do before she goes. 

That's me being selfish. 

I won't lie, toward the middle of the week I was feeling spread pretty thin-having to be 29 places at once. Some of my family members were not holding up their end of the deal, so I was picking up the slack. 

Here's to hoping this week brings good news...and more involved family. 

Humph.
