Feels like a Dark Road..

 
Well, Papa had his doctor's appointment on Monday. The results weren't as good as we hoped and nothing of what we expected. He's still processing the results. 


😟😟It's life changing.


While on the way to the appointment, my daughter called asking if my granddaughter could come hang out with me for a few days. 

She informed me that she was at the hospital with my youngest grandson, they went into the ER Sunday night and were then transported to Childrens hospital by ambulance.

Today is Tuesday and they are still there! 

Little man has a swollen neck and large lump and the doctor said he has a swollen spleen. Now he is scheduled for a biopsy tomorrow, so hopefully some answers will come to light. There are so many doctors trying to figure this out and they still didn't know what kind of infection or what was causing it. . . or what it is....

👵👴👩👨We are talking ~ A team from Infectious disease and a Blood specialist team, in addition to regular doctors. ...

 
It's been a long - couple of days. 


My daughter is handling it all alone at the hospital and I'm here with my granddaughter, keeping her spirits up. Not sure how we are going to handle tomorrow.  I'm concerned for what the answers will be. Hoping for some positive results.

Faith, Hope, Belief, 

➤ Here's where it all comes to the test. For both Papa and little Man. 

God knows our needs; He knows our hearts. He's never left me hanging before, I don't anticipate He will this time either. 


➤ Time to Prepare ~

For the road ahead. ~ 



It's going to be long, dark and challenging at times. 
More than it has been over the past decade, and even in all the years before that. 

I have to say, getting old sucks, having complications makes it worse. 
Not having a strong support system has it feeling like an uphill climb in a wheelchair.

➤ There are things that can be done to make it easier as time progresses. 

➤ Having a plan and trying to follow it helps. 

When things get confusing it's nice to have a map to fall back on.  
Photographs and reminders of memories will keep things 'alive' in the mind. 
Post-Its help us hide our 'forgetfulness' with little reminders. 
Grandchildren give you a reason to wake up every morning.
Family keeps us feeling 'needed and wanted', which for older folks - is important.


Nobody wants to feel that they have "Outlived their welcome".
