Northern Mom

It was almost worth it! We had hoped to get the driveway done last week, so that it would have no cars parked in it while we were away. That part worked out ok, but I would have loved more visiting time with my grandparents.

I had called Nana on Wednesday to let her know that we would be bringing our own bedding and asked if she would like me to bring supper on Friday. She had been in bed for over a week, throwing up and the other end acting up too. When we did talk she said that she had seen the Dr and that she was to continue with Gravol and Imodium. Somewhere between the time that I talked to her on Wednesday and finally got to see her on Saturday morning, she had gone to the hospital and was told that her pancreas has stopped working. She looked awful and I don't think I've ever seen her looking so pale. My grandfather doesn't look well either. You can see the worry in his eyes. I know that I am very lucky to still have both of my grandparents, but I'm not ready to let them go. Jo loves her "Nanny Binky" and sat her with her this weekend and cuddled. All the way home, Jo kept telling us that Nanny Binky puked and was sick. During one of the cuddles Jo poked Nana with her elbow and told Jo she had a sharp arm. This got repeated over and over all the way home. My aunt said that if she wasn't better by mid week that she was going to take her back to the hospital. I'm hoping that no news is good news.

So, it looks like I might be doing some travelling this summer. A few quick weekend trips if things don't improve. It looks like Hubby might have some full weekends with Jo, unless he comes with me. I guess it will all depend on how Nana is feeling. Maybe some hugs with that sharp part of Jo's arm might just do the trick!
