Seasick...

All the ups and downs in the last month have made me feel a little seasick! Less than a week after my last post it seems like all hell broke loose! The day before Halloween Mac, Heisman, and I met up with Mac's Godparents for a little doggie Halloween fun out near Cypress. It was basically a dog friendly/centered event that had fun stuff for the kids too. We had a really great time and of course mac was happy because there were tons of puppies for him to pet. As we were leaving I saw that I had a voicemail from my sister saying that she had to take my grandmother to the emergency room because she couldn't breathe. I'm the first to admit that my mind always jumps to the worst case scenario, but lets face it, she's 90 years old. Once I finally got in touch with her I found out that she had a pretty severe case of bronchitis and the doctors thought it would be best to admit her to the hospital. And before I go on, let me just say a huge "Thank You" to my sister and brother-in-law for sitting in the ER for at least 10 hours with her. Since I had Mac I couldn't really go up there and it was so nice to know she was being taken care of...so thanks Mel and Travis! Well, within 24 hours her bronchitis had turned into pneumonia, which is why they wanted to admit her. Pneumonia is serious in a young healthy person, so in an older person it is just not a good thing. Nothing really changed until Wednesday. I called up to the hosptial to let her know I was on my way up to visit and my great-aunt Ruth answered the phone and told me that she was about to be taken in to surgery! What?!?! Not only did they need to go in to clear out some of the mucus and fluid so that she could breathe, but in the process they found out that she had breast cancer. I was shocked. I got the hospital at 10:30am and after a very very long day of wondering and waiting, they brought her back to the room around 4:30pm. After a few days of waiting we found out that the 2 biospies that were done (one of the breast, one of the lungs) both came back positive for cancer. My grandmama is something else though. She said it doesn't make a difference to her. She had cancer before she came into the hosptial and she'll have it when she leaves because she's not going to do anything about it. And honestly, I am glad. I would rather see her live the rest of her life at home, not in and out of a doctors office than to watch her to through treatment. We did have a little scare last week when she suddenly spiked a fever and had to be sent to ICU, but within 24 hours she was back to her old self and in a regular room.

We did have a nice little celebration for her this past Thursday. She turned 90 years old and we had a little party! It was nice to get a few of us together to celebrate such an amazing and special woman! I love her!

During her little party Mac must have thought he wasn't getting enough attention and started coughing and subsequently puked all over himself. I had a sneaky feeling that he didn't just get choked and that sickness was upon us. Friday when I took him to school he just wasn't acting right. He usually sings all the way to school, but was oddly quiet, and just make matters worse he tripped in the parking lot and fell right on his chin. To add insult to injury, I got a call right before lunch saying that he fell in the hall and busted his lip open! Poor guy. Eric took Mac to dinner (so Mommy could have a little peace and quiet) and he threw up in the car on the way home. This morning it really hit. He was running 102 fever, threw up on me, and just wanted to be held. He took a 4 hour nap and still went to bed at 8pm. He has not had a good weekend. Hopefully he'll feel better tomorrow!

And yes...I am too lazy to post pictures right now. I'll put some up later this week =)
