Update from me

[Paula]

Hey girls!! Just thought I'd update you on the status of things here.

My grandma has been diagnosed with COPD. She has been put on hospice care and can't be left alone. My mentally challenge uncle isn't capable of calling 911 if something were to happen, so I'm going to be here until my brother can come relieve me on May 2, then my mom will be here on the 12th. That means that I will be missing another child's birthday. My son turned 15 the day I got here and my middle child will turn 14 on May 4.

There is a nurse that comes in three times a week and the doctor comes in every other week so that's a relief, but she can't be left alone.

I've been able to scrap - I can't nor want to get fired from my awesome CTs. I am also four points away from my 25 sweet rewards points!! Woo hoo. LOL

I want to thank you all so much for the PMs, posts and emails of concern and condolences. I really love you all and can't wait to get back to my normal routine of scrapping and checking in here my normal 100 times a day!! LOL

So good to see your smiling face Paula...you are sorely missed! Will be praying for your family at this time.....
The hospice people were so wonderful in my daddy's last couple of months, they really made a huge difference so I am glad to hear you have their help.
