My Grandma

What Is a Grandma?
A grandma is warm hugs and sweet memories. She remembers all of your accomplishments and forgets all of your mistakes. She is someone you can tell your secrets and worries to, and she hopes and prays that all your dreams come true. She always loves you, no matter what. She can see past temper tantrums and bad moods, and makes it clear that they don't affect how precious you are to her. She is an encouraging word and a tender touch. She is full of proud smiles. She is the one person in the world who loves you with all her heart, who remembers the child you were and cherishes the person you've become. ~Barbara Cage~

Please continue to keep my Grandmother in your prayers. She's not doing well at all right now. Her WBC dropped down to 1.7 one day, and the next day was up to 17. They had given her something to help boost the number. She's hardly drank or ate anything in 3 days, and continue to vomitt a lot. She's in so much pain she's just begging for it to end, saying she can't take it anymore. A few days ago I saw my grandmother cry for the first time in my life, and I've seen her cry over the past week more then I'd care to see her cry. It just breaks my heart to see her like this. She held my hand, and my mothers hand telling us how much she loved us, and cared for us, and that she was just ready for the pain to end. Aleena has been begging to go see her so I'll be bringing her up there tonight. She's been unable to go up there because her counts were so low, we were having to wear masks and scrub in to be around her. SO I pray that my grandma can be awake long enough to know that Aleena is there. Aleena cries and prays for my grandmother everyday.

I'll update more later.
