Well, what a week! Yesterday was very eventful. I totally forgot that Corey had an orthodontist appointment. Had he not remembered, we wouldn't have made it. He will get 2 more backets on next time. After football practice that same night, he broke his wire again. I will try to take him early next week.
My grandpa was taken to the emergency room. They thought he might have pneumonia but it turned out to be a pocket of fluid under his heart. They sent him on to Audubon Hospital in Louisville. Then more bad news. The doctor said it could be one of three things: infection, a leaking aeorta(I don't think I spelled that correctly), or blood. They won't know for sure unless they do surgery. The doctor was not very hopeful about surgery. He said if he did the surgery there was a great chance that he wouldn't make it off the table. But without the surgery the prognosis is not good either. So, he has a decision to make. He said if something happened he was ready to go but he didn't want to leave the little ones. That just kills me. I want to cry every time I think of that. He is supposed to decide by tomorrow. If he chooses surgery, it is supposed to be on Monday. Either choice doesn't look good, but anything can happen with God involved.
Tomorrow is Chance's 11th birthday. I have ordered a cake and he is having a couple of friends over.
