Keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Update on G: She had a super bad kidney infection and was in the hospital for several days last week while they worked on getting rid of it. During the tests though, they found that the tumor is small enough now that they believe they can do surgery to remove it Possibly within two weeks!

Two things:

Firstly, my bf's best friend's mother just died. Positive wishes her way would be wonderful.

Secondly, another Greek at my school is going through some trouble at home. His dad just had a really serious injury:
Quote:
My mom found my dad on on the living room floor this morning. He was getting up for work and had an aneurysm. A blood vessel ruptured, which released blood into his skull. At the same instance, it caused a stroke and he immediately collapsed. He hit his head so hard that it caused severe damage to the other side of his brain. Ambulance transferred him to henry ford wyandotte hospital. He was put on life support right away, and the staff felt henry ford detroit was better equipped, and had a higher level of expertise for the situation. Doctors told me my dad had a 30% chance of living, and I was put in charge of decision making for my father. The neurology unit quickly drilled a hole in his skull to release a large volume of blood that had built up causing a high pressure level. They then sent him to radiology and we determined they would instal a coil to close off the open vessel. (Basically this is capping the vessel to stop bleeding.) The brain surgeons successfully completed this tasks after a few hours. There are still a few more surgeries on my dad's brain, and an additional aneurysm in another location . there is some level of brain damage, but how bad it will be is not certain at this time. He's currently sedated.

Sending prayers of comfort to BF's best friend (and family) and prayers of healing to your fellow greek.

Well I've given the blood now I wait to hear back. This will be a LONG week.

Storming the heavens for Honeykiss! And, of course, everyone else needing prayer.

Starting my first round of Chlomid on Wednesday. If hubby and I are lucky this month, we may be parents by December! *fingers crossed*

My dad just called me to tell me my grandmother (his mother) had passed away during their spring break trip. He was surprisingly calm. I don't know how to feel right now...

Thank you all.

I'm not reacting the way I thought I would, which is making me feel weird. I guess they weren't lying when they said folks grieve in different ways...

There's no right way to grieve, and I have often found myself not reacting the way I thought I would.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
