Update #8 - Indiana Summer

This house is way too quiet therefore I am getting very sleepy!

Quick update on Gram for the day: Took her to get a scan done today and they found one valve/artery not functioning correctly...this time on the opposite side then before. I don't know all the medical terms and proper way to describe it....but basically, she will have to have some work done with a laser later on this month to hopefully help to get the blood flowing more like it should be which in turn will help with her swelling problems.

She has one more appt. next week and then I am hopeful I will be able to come home for a bit and be at camp with the kiddos! I need to try to stay and be at this appt. because will be the first step to me being able to get her into a diabetes specialist or at least find out which direction we need to go next with her diabetic issues.

She felt some better this morning and by afternoon, I could tell she was worn out. Today it was just me and her. Pap stayed home and worked in the garden and told us to go on and spend some time together. So we did! :)

She always has several places she wants to go when we go to town...but usually we make it to 1-2 places and then she is out of steam. Today was no exception...but at least she got out a little bit. However, before her appt. I took her to the one store she wanted to go to first and I turned into the human clothes rack! I pretty much stay with her if she ever feels like going to a store because I am afraid to leave her alone for very long. After I was holding about 10 items....I was teasing her and she said...Pap said to go and get me a few things. I just laughed and was happy that she was in good spirits this morning.

I am thankful for everyday I get to spend with her and it was nice to just have some down time today.
