Day of bad news

My one piece of good news - my new dishwasher was delivered - yeah!

At 6:30 AM we found out that Ira's Gran Gran passed away overnight. She has been deteriorating the past couple of weeks. So, we had kinda been waiting, but it is still sad to see her go. I will personally miss her as she was the one person on Ira's Mom's side of the family that I could relate to.

Since the day was starting poorly and since we were also waiting to see if my ex Mother-in-Law's (and basically Jason's second Mom) test results came in yesterday like expected, I figured I would call Jess (my ex-husband) to get the scoop and really screw up my day before 8 AM. Yes, they came in, but they were not able to diagnose lung cancer, just that she had blockage in her lungs and was now coughing up blood. Well, by 3:30 and after seeing another specialist they did confirm that it is in fact lung cancer. We will not know the severity until after the biopsy - so keep her in your prayers.

In the meantime, she has very limited medical insurance and many of the tests have not been covered. Plus, it sounds like any hospital stays will not be covered. So, there will be a charity garage sale in mid-May to help raise money for the medical bills. If anyone is interested in contributing goods or shopping, please let me know and I will get more details as they become available.

This weekend will be saying goodbye to Gran Gran and the near future will be trying to make Jason's Grandmother as comfortable as possible.

Keep thinking positive thoughts for us.

I've been thinking about you since we talked about all this. Definitely let me know about the garage sale. I might have some stuff to contribute!

Hi, there! Oh, you poor thing. What a rough time! I definitely have some stuff for the garage sale, too. Why do you think you're not getting a government check???
