Just thought I’d give a quick update of what is going on at the house

My grandfather was making frequent trips to the doctor for what appeared to be heart trouble…turned out to not be his heart at all, but due to his heart not getting enough oxygen because of blood loss due to a tumor in his colon.  He has surgery to remove the tumor.  It looks like they got it before it spread.  Looks like he’s going to be fine.

Rocky’s grandmother had a heart attack.  They wanted to do a test, and gave her some radioactive dye.  The radioactive dye killed her kidneys.  She passed away last week.  The funeral was Friday.

Rocky’s uncle was in the hospital due to fluid accumulating in his chest cavity.  He had to have the fluid drained.  He is out of the hospital now and is looking pretty good.

Rocky’s mother was on a couple of different medications, and due to the stress of all the family troubles, she got dehydrated and her kidneys stopped working.  She is currently in the hospital, but appears to be on the mend.

It’s been a tough month, and if we haven’t been the best friends in the world…please understand that it’s nothing personal.  A lot of stuff has fallen through the cracks this month.

As a family, when we got through times like this, we tend to duck out heads and get down to the business of getting through it.  It might not be the way everyone does things, but it works for us.  All we ask is for your understanding, patience, and generosity of spirit in giving us the benefit of the doubt if we seem to be insensitive or unresponsive.
