last night we spent a few hours at the hospital with my lola. she was supposed to be discharged a couple days ago but had a major set back...they found a large tumor in her stomach & her kidney was not functioning. she didn't have any urine output for 2 days and her stomach was very bloated. it was hard being at the hospital because my lola was in so much pain...she couldn't stay still for too long and kept wanting to move around. they didn't put her on morphine, even though i really wished they had, so she simply had to endure the pain. yet, she kept fighting, and continues to fight until today. my lola underwent dialysis (sp?) today to help her kidneys, and as far as i've heard she's doing much better. thank you to all who have prayed, and continue to pray, for my grandma. my family is going through some difficult times right now, but i know it's making us stronger and closer. it's a waiting game at this point...they're trying to take care of one ailment at a time. today they're working on the kidney, tomorrow or a few days from now they'll decide whether or not they want to remove the tumor. the operation was not advised by the doctor b/c she's at high risk...so we're not sure if we're going to put her through that. last night they were talking about signing do not resuscitate papers in case she goes into distress.

scary...
