Modern Medicine

Sweet grandbaby is doing so much better after her ear surgery. They took her in on Monday and had tubes put in her ears. She was such a trooper. I am so proud of her.

Bright and early on Monday morning I arrived at my DD's house to find a sweet grandbaby all ready to go. She was in much better shape than mommy. A mother has to worry. This is her baby. I have to admit that Grammy was a bit worried too. The poor baby had not eaten since 2:00 am but she was good about that. She did suck on her sippy cup and that empty sound was terrible. Her Grandmother showed up too. We were all there to entertain our precious girl. Of course everyone was very impressed with her. They were running an hour behind but Grandbaby took it totally in stride. Mommy and Daddy got to go back with her while both the grandmother's waited. It really wasn't long before they showed up with a sleeping baby in Daddy's arms. Grandmother had to go back to work but we three, with sleeping baby in tow, headed out to breakfast. About half way through breakfast baby woke up and Mommy's mood brightened. Sweet Grandbaby was hungry and managed to eat some breakfast with us. She just wasn't sure what had happened to her.

After a great breakfast we all headed out to go shopping for Grandbaby. I found a couple of cute outfits and two wooden puzzles for her. Mommy and Daddy got her a couple of outfits and her Easter outfit. The Easter outfit it precious and she is going to look great on Easter morning. Then Mommy and Daddy threw in a new toy and we all headed home. Once home, Daddy handed Grandbaby to me and she immediately laid her head on my shoulder and went to sleep. There was nothing for a Grammy to do but hold her while she slept. Such a hard chore but I proved up to it. She woke up with a smile and ready to play some. Later DS brought over pizza for everyone so he could visit with Grandbaby. She definitely enjoyed the attention.

That night I got a call from BF. This poor woman has been through so much and now she is having to take on her parents and their financial problems. Her mother is in early stages of dementia and her father is just trying to cope. They have gotten themselves into a terrible financial problems. So BF's job is straighten everything out and get them on the right track. All of this on top of not feeling well is hard on her. She's such a wonderful person and I have depended on her many times through the last few years. I am so sorry she is having to watch her parents go down like this. I miss my parents terribly but I am thankful that they both were themselves up to the end. At least she has her wonderful grandbabies to help keep her spirits up. We do enjoy sharing stories about our precious grandbabies.
