Oh well I knew it was to good to last. I called my parents tonight to see how things were going and to let them know my daughter was not going to her Girl Scout meeting tomorrow. Well my mom asks if I got the e-mail about my aunt in Ft. Lauderdale - no what is going on. Apparently she is throwing up blood and had to be placed in the hospital. She was stabilized a few hours ago and now I get to wait on my mom to call me with more information on the reason why my aunt was throwing up blood. My aunt has cancer - it was breast cancer which went into remission, then progressed to lung cancer and now is brain cancer. It moves each time and she is taking chemo treatments. Her weight had dropped to below 100 pounds but as of last week she was back up to 115 pounds. My mom is so worried - I can tell and I know there is other stuff she is not telling me because she doesn't want me to worry about it. I love my parents for trying to protect me but I would rather get the entire story now than hear it in bits and pieces. Don't expect to much from me for the next few days - I have to see where this is headed and I have to be there for my parents whenever they need me.
On another note I spoke with my other aunt - my dad's sister and got an update on my grandmother. When it rain it pours. Anyway they are switching her meds to help with the pain medication of her back and shoulders. The doctor put her on a time release medication and darn if it doesn't work better - yeah some good news. My grandmother comes up every summer to give my aunt a break and this year she will be staying with me - my parents don't know this yet but it makes since since I have a single level house and they have a multi-level house. Plus with the kids home they can watch grandma and make sure she has anything she needs. We are putting that visit off until all the trips to the doctors are done and they know what is wrong with her neck and shoulder hurting her and the new medications kick in - see if there are any side effects and all. I love my life - anyone want to trade?
