mars2kids's Journal, 24 April 2014

It's going to be a long stressful day. Yesterday my hubby's grandma got taken to the hospital because they thought her kidneys were failing. She's got some damage, but they aren't sure how much yet. She's only 69, but she's had a lot of health issues and has fallen and hurt herself pretty bad a couple of times in the past year. I'm praying she pulls through. She's been miserable lately because she's losing the independence she values so much, so hopefully if she comes out of this she'll accept some more help, I don't think she'll have much of a choice. My hubby's Dad and Aunt are really making me mad, because she's they're Mom and they haven't gone to see her, and they're full of excuses, but the grandkids who worked overnight and were tired, left to be with her as soon as they found out, and they are there having to make medical decisions for her. She's only 45 mins away from us, which would be a little less than 90 mins away from his Dad and Aunt. Sigh. I can't do anything about it, so I guess I just have to get over it, but my hubby has been through this with his Mom and Stepmom in the hospital and being by their side until they passed away, so I'm sure he's having a hard time. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here, but at least his brothers are there too. He should be back tonight and I'm going to try to go see her this weekend. It's hard when the kids have so much going on to get free time, but I'm going to make time.

Well, in other, happier news, even with eating out yesterday and having a cookie that someone was nice enough to buy for me, I still did fairly well eating wise yesterday. Part of doing well was because I felt sick to my stomach last night, but I guess that helped me not grab any extra snacks. I'm looking at it with my glass half full attitude today. :)

I got a workout in yesterday too which was great. We'll see about tonight, it will depend on if I end up going to see my hubby's Grandma. Tomorrow I'm going to go babysit my niece around 1130, so I'm going to try to get a workout done in the a.m.

I hope everyone has a great Thursday!!

It can be frustrating when children don't visit their mother. Personally an experience for our family many years ago - our great-grandmother was in the nursing home for over a year, and one family's children didn't want to see her in her bed-ridden condition (they claimed they didn't want to remember her that way), so they NEVER came and visited her. GG was in her right mind, so I'm sure that plagued her to some extent. Seriously, people have no clue how hurtful they are to those that are bed-ridden or ill. I pray your family comes around.

Very sorry to hear about your husbands grandmother. Family is such a pain in the ass (talking about father and aunt). Unfortunately you can only control what you do, and I'm sure you are a wonderful support system for your husband. You have a very chaotic schedule, but you do wonderfully. Glad you had a good day yesterday, at least you'll be able to get through today with something to look forward to tomorrow :-) Keep that positive attitude, and have a great day!
