So instead of going to the lake this weekend, we are going to Abilene to see my grandfather in the hospital. He's been very ill, and frankly the doctors have been quite befuddled. His family doctor was convinced it is his heart, the heart specialist was convinced it was his lungs, and no one is agreeing on anything.
Except his family has decided we all need to go up for a visit. I hate to think that this might be the last time, especially as the thought has been in the back of my mind every time I have seen him for the past 3 years. Both my sisters will be there with families in tow this weekend, my parents, and my aunt are there. My cousins were in to see him last weekend.
The news is better than it could have been. Last weekend I thought we might be traveling up this weekend for a funeral. And they are talking of plans for when he is released (and not if). He will be receiving home health care, probably for the rest of his life. But I hope this weekend brings him a lot of pleasure. It's been a long time since we were all together.
Besides, Kora, Aubrey, and I made him two different kinds of cookies today.
And in any case, if we had gone to the lake this weekend, it would probably just RAIN!
