We Are Family... -yeah the song, I know-

So, also within the recent past, there has been a lot of family stuff going on. A week before Easter Sunday-- for us Christians who think bunnies lay eggs-- my grandma was in the hospital with pneumonia (did I actually spell that right?! I can never spell that!) and she got to come home on Easter. Then the next was the Cincinnati Red's Opening Day. And I of course went, I'm pretty sure I've gone every year of my life. My elementary school would watch the calendar and gimme my work for that day the previous Friday. Haha.  ANYWAYS. Back to the story. That day my 88 year old great aunt, Marjorie, went to the game with one of my cousins. And long story short her legs were already really swollen and on the way into her house Marjorie's leg split open from being so overly swollen and full of fluids. She went to the E.R. got it stitched up and went home.
   Everything seemed fine and dandy until Friday evening. (This story is so long the short version will seem long) Marjorie was found in a gross situation. She was having in-stage renal (kidney) failure. If you know what can happen with that, you'll understand why it was so gross. If not, look it up on WebMD or the Mayo Clinic-- somewhere that won't exaggerate. So Marjorie was taken to the E.R. and they also found out through some scans that she had experienced a heart attack some time in the near past. That also concluded that she has in-stage heart failure. She was admitted on the 9th of April, and my family &Marjorie had some decisions to make. She could go to a nursing home, quite a few different ones, or she could go to Hospice. My family hates  nursing homes. We have had so many experiences with neglect, not getting the right medication, or other problems. And with the condition Marjorie is in they didn't think she could handle a nursing home. So they all decided on Hospice. She was transported to Hospice on Tuesday, 4/13, morning.
Continuing the story again---
My grandma came home yesterday evening, she will recieve Hospice care from home. My grandma also entered the hospital on Friday night, literally around the same time, and she now is diagnosed with in-stage heart failure also. But, hopefully she will stay around longer than expected.


--So I don't know if you have any God or Gods that you pray to, or if you believe in any. But I know that my grandma and my great aunt are in need of thoughts and prayers, and just people out there thinking about them right now. 

And Peace be with you.
