Thought I'd give y'all an update on what's been going on around here. About a week and a half ago my grandmother (my dad's mom, the only grandparent I have left) fell and couldn't get up. My aunts took her to the hospital and her blood sugar was extremely low, so they were going to keep her for a day or two until they could get it stabilized. That has turned into them finding out that she has a very nasty place on her heart (they debated putting in a defibrillator) and a mass/tumor (probably cancer) in her colon. When they checked the tumor they found that it had ruptured her colon and so she had gunk dumping into her abdominal cavity.
So, they did surgery yesterday and removed the mass, repairing her colon as best they could. She's stable, but in critical condition and in ICU. On top of that, they also found out yesterday that she has VRE, which as a antibiotic-resistant infection. Also, they are checking her lump nodes to see if the potential cancer has spread. So they are dumping a ton of drugs into her to try and combat that. My mom has been up there for a week to be with her, and my dad is going up tonight to get her and see MeMaw again.
My family would greatly appreciate your prayers right now, it's been rather stressful on us all.
