Update...

...so I (finally) talked to my dad today about my Gran and Grandad. No real update on Grandad, but tomorrow should be the surgery for his pacemaker, provided that his infection is cleared up. The real update was about my Gran. Not only have her blood sugar counts been high (270-480), her carotid artery (the one in the neck) is 80% blocked. She'll need surgery before the holidays. Positive thoughts, please! Again, I feel like a pansy, since I've had all this time with them, and most kids don't get to have this kind of relationship with their grandparents. Most kids, like Collin, don't get to meet their great-grandparents, let alone have real memories with them. I'm so fortunate in this regard. But positive thoughts, anyway, k?
