The doctor told us this afternoon that she has three arteries that are almost entirely blocked. She is scheduled for open-heart surgery on Friday morning. And me and my parents are leaving for Florida in the morning.
I’m grateful that I’ll be there with my grandparents, but I’m also grateful to have this chance to get away. I have some absolutely major decisions ahead of me and I wasn’t expecting any of this. The time away will give me a good chance to ponder it all.
I covet your prayers. Not only for my step-grandmother, but also for us. Dad is still recuperating from the Great Clorox Spill of ’04 and mom is recovering from an ear infection and sinus infection. And I’m just overwhelmed.
