What a New Year!!It seems with every happy moment comes an equally or more devastating moment or at least that has been the trend thus far in the new year! I talked with my mom tonight and she told me that they attempted to insert a feeding tube twice into my grandpa both times he flat lined and they had to "bring him back". So the 2 alternatives are to either insert a tube down his nose to give him nutrition (which will not be much help because he would still be aspirating) or to just let him go home to spend the time he has left at home. So he will be released from the hospital on Monday and then I guess the days are numbered! My mom is soo upset because of course she is losing her dad and she will not be here for the birth of her grandchild, my heart broke to hear my mother cry! Needless to say this is a terribly emotional time for my family. I am going to try and throw the tiny bit of energy I have left into finishing my school work! Love-Karen
