Grams

My mom called me this morning. She wanted me to know that my grandmother (her mom) is very sick.



She had a heart-attack recently. And has since struggled with fluid build-up around her heart.



It's serious. To the point that Grams is making the trip to Buffalo solo.



If you're the praying type...I'd appreciate any prayers you can lift on our behalf. For safety. Health. And most of all Grace & Peace.



********************


Dear Grandma...



I wish I could be with mom. To hug you. And give you flowers. Or a balloon.



I know you understand why I can't right now.



I've wanted to say thank you for a long time now. It means the world to me that you follow Trevy's blog. And pray faithfully for him. For us. Thank you, Grandma...



Now it's my turn to pray...for you.




Much love...



...danielle

Mom...


I wish I could be with you. Be safe. Call often. We already miss you...and not just because you're our go-to sitter either! And remember that I love you!

Strangers to your family, even those who don't pray by nature, have your Gram and your family in thought and prayer. God bless her to comfort her and give her a speedy recovery. God bless you for what you contribute to your loved ones and the world. That is not like me to feel or share...

Oh D, so sorry to hear that you Gram is having difficulties. I'll most certainly keep her in my prayers. Sending lots of love and hugs to you. I know how it is not being able to be with a parent when they need you. Be strong sweetie.

And especially to MB...thank you...it moved my heart that you were touched by Trevy's story...and our's. It does my heart good to hear every now & then of someone being captured by our journey...and moved to feel...

Your grandmom is certainly in my prayers, as is your whole family...

I didn't get to spend the time I wanted (or needed) with one of my grandmothers as her health began to fail...She lived hours and hours away as well...But she always understood...She would say, "Well, that's OK...You just stay there and take care of Colby."

She always talked about his beautiful eyebrows....Grandmothers are wonderful....

Blessings...

I cried when I got the news

I felt like such a heel not going with Trevy for his first post hemi EEG. Yeeeeeees...Jonathan went with him. Yeeeeeees...he's just as good as me. But still! He's my baby! I was instead sitting on floor 6 east waiting for Neurology to get their boots here and help me sort out this medicine mess! Seriously it's like a bad joke...how many Neurologists does it take to write a bloody script? And fax prior authorizations? Cause Trevy's been back for hours now. And I'm STILL waiting! Anyway... Jonathan had just stepped out to meet the pizza delivery guy when Dr. EEG made his rounds. Of course I asked immediately if he had read the EEG. Of course he had. That's why he was there afterall. And I cried when he told me... that for the first time in almost two years. For the first time since this whole crazy mess began. my baby's EEG is completely normal! Side Note: It's super fun to sob in front of Japanese men and watch them squirm When I kept repeati...

I sure hope...

they grow back curly! Saw the "unknown" flashing on the face of my cell phone and knew who it was. Who it had to be. Dr. Fellow. My eyes met Grams' and I nodded. Grams has a pool, see. For super hot days like today. We're also having a septic installed. Which meant no water or facilities at my place. But those weren't really the reasons I was there. Close to mom. The purple ringing thing in my hand was. Only I wasn't prepared for it to be ringing SO darn soon. Shortly after lunch instead of dinner! I swallowed. Took a deep breath. And clicked connect. Dr. Fellow has a very nice phone tone. Clear. Hint of compassion. If only a stitch of humor were added...it'd be heavenly. But there was no humor. Just business. He's very direct. I'm learning that about him. Which explains his short hello. Followed by immediately pushing into the news. Being that it was a unanimous consensus. The entire surgical committee feels Trevor is a good candidate. And then p...

it's like being asked to the prom...

only MUCH MUCH bigger! I had noticed (yes...I stalk my site meter!) that a government ISP had logged onto Trevor's blog. Whoever it was had spent a good deal of time hanging out too. Followed a few minutes later by a government ISP...hailing from Washington. As in DC! My eyebrow raised. It was just kinda odd. Note-able odd. You know? Anyway...later that day (last week) I was folding laundry & thinking my crazy insane thoughts. Along these lines... I hope I'm not saying anything I shouldn't! Maybe I made somebody mad? Wait a minute! I live in America! I'm allowed to say anything I want! Aren't I???? A shout from the other room interrupted my thoughts before I had a chance to further mull. It was Jonathan. I had just received an email. **Side note...he's always doing that! Reading my emails! Sheesh!*** The said email was from a US Senator's aide! Asking if he could speak with me. Little ole' hardly has time to splash some make-up on ...
