We could use a lot of thoughts and prayers around here....
Yesterday I posted that my friends DD had broken her ankle walking on ice. They did surgery yesterday afternoon and inserted a plate and nine screws into her ankle. She's doing as well as can be expected but she is not allowed to put any pressure on her left foot for at least six weeks. I worry more about my friend than about her DD 'cause her DD is very spoiled and will run her mom ragged waiting on her.
This morning my friend (same one as above) called me very early. (We have a 9 o'clock rule and we don't call each other before nine unless it's really necessary.) Her first words were, "Sorry but I really needed to break the 9 o'clock rule! She had spent the night at the hospital with her DD. Everyone at the hospital knows my friend because she has a large family and because she herself has had cancer and been in and out of the hospital. One of the ER nurses had come up to her DDs room, knowing she was staying with DD, to let her know that her DF was being brought in by ambulance. They have determined he has congestive heart failure. I'm now waiting to hear more.
And the boy in DSs class was told yesterday what the form of cancer that he has is called. They have been waiting for almost ten days to find out the form, prognosis and treatment. He will be having surgery Tuesday and will be in the hospital until Saturday. Hopefully he will get to come home Saturday or Sunday and then will be back in the hospital Monday (the 26th) for his first round of chemo. He will have chemo every three weeks for six to nine months. He is only 13! DS is very worried about his friend but I don't think he's comprehending all of it.
And nothing has changed with "Grandpa." We are planning to go to PA to see him on the 28th. DD has taken time off both of her jobs to meet us up there. It will be a very short trip but we feel we need to get up there to see him.
So all thoughts and prayers are very much appreciated.
Sorry this is so long....just needed to "talk" about it all .
