We try to take turns updating the blog and it’s been my turn for the better part of the week. But with everything that’s been going on, I just haven’t had the energy or time to think about it.
Grandma is awake but still in ICU until tomorrow when they will move her to the step-down unit she was in most of last week. She’s really looped on morphine and not making a lot of sense but she’s there. They got her up to walk around a little today and she ate some pudding.
It’s been stressful, scary, terrifying and too real. Life is so fragile.
Our new niece has yet to arrive. She’s stubbornly breech for the time being and tomorrow the doctor will attempt to turn her with medication. If she won’t turn, then it’ll be c-section time for my sister. I’m relieved she didn’t go into labor while my grandma was so critical because my mom has spent virtually the entire week at the hospital. Right now, we’re hoping for a quick and safe delivery.
I’m ready for vacation next week. We’ve had little sleep this weekend and we need to recharge.
