grandfather update...

My grandfather was diagnosed with stage 4 Hodgkin's Lymphoma. It's AMAZING how everyone in the family is helping with every detail to make sure my grandparents are taken care of. You can look at my grandmothers face and see every emotion she is holding in. She is holding up okay. She's trying to be strong for everyone. He is at home and receiving oral chemo. I don't want to get into too much as this is so hard on everyone in my family.

Lily and I joined my grandma and Aunt Yolanda to celebrate my great Aunt Estephana's 83rd birthday! She loved the gold clog type shoes Lil got for her. My mother and her were very close when my mom was growing up so she decided to name her first baby after her...Estephana=Stephanie! I love her dearly.

After being away from my family for many years it's so great to be able to be here in times like these.

My head is spinning...

because we have been so worried about my grandfather. He had open heart surgery and appeared to be doing well. He was in a really nice and new nursing home doing rehabillitation. He was so strong and then fever struck him. He had a fever for 2 weeks and after being admitted to the hospital they discover cancer. The most devistating news yet. They are testing to see where it is. They looked at the stomach and colon which was negative tomorrow is more tests on his liver and they'll be taking some bone marrow.
