Default Wow, what last 2+ weeks

Some of you followed my thread on my granddaughter, Joslyn, her surgery and slow recovery.

I am happy to announce that she is peeing on her own since Tuesday evening and is being treated for UTI so we are 99% sure she is back to normal except for the spoiling we did for the last 2 1/2 weeks, now we have to gradually get back to "normal" behavior for a 2 1/2 year old who definitely has a mind of her own.

As I was leaving her house on Wednesday I got a call that my mother was being taken by ambulance to the hospital, possible heart attack. After waiting two days for a heart cath she had one today. No heart attack, no stent and no open heart surgery. Every one of her arteries are diseased but with only 20-30% blockage and they only do stents or surgery if 70+%. She has COPD, diabetes, smokes and overweight. She is 76 and doctor said to just let her live her life as she wishes, no one is going to change her and she might as well be happy with the time she has left, which according to him could end tomorrow or she could have many more years. That's life for all of us too.

We also got the news that my SIL is in hospital because of trouble walking and MRI showed 2 masses between her shoulder blades and also lesions in her upper spine. They are suggesting cancer, MS or both. They will do surgery to remove the masses tomorrow so we will know more after that.

And then in the scheme of things my dryer went kaput today. Husband looked it over, couldn't be fixed, out to the curb, someone picked it up probably for scrap. LOL, but husband and I forgot to take clothes out of there, thankfully there wasn't much in there.

That was just a bump in the road, my SIL is now my main concern. Please keep her in your prayers.
