My grandmother almost died in December.  Not even two months later she was back to the hospital where she was until last week.  She had to be moved to another facilitly that handles people in her condition.  She had to have a tube put in her lung to drain it due to her cardiac heart failure.  My grandmother has a lot of medical conditions to say the least.  At Kindred, where's she been, they have been doing everything they can to help her.  She's refusing to be touched now because of the pain in her back.  The doctors told my grandfather that if she refuses a CAT scan that she needs (she's refused twice already) they will be left with no choice, but  to send her to hospice.

I've lived with my grandparents all my life, even now.  It hasn't been easy growing up with somebody like my grandmother, but I'm not ready for her die.  Even if she has the CAT scan, there's still odds agianst her making it out of this.  I worry about Hunter.  He lost his grandfather last year on his birthday.  That was hard on him.  Now it's my grandmother, who's been in his life since day one.  I just don't know how he's going to handle this.  I've lucked out that my ex-husband has had him for a few days, but Hunter comes home tonight.  I'm just waiting until I know for sure what's going on to tell him anything.  When school goes back next week, I'm going to have to call the guidence counselor.
