It seems like I haven't been on here forever. The girls were sick and then on Tuesday of last week we got news that my great grandmother, Grandma Redfield passed away. So we went to her visitation and funeral on Thursday and Friday. It is a very long drive up there and back. Tay only made it to school on Wednesday last week... we made her go so she could get all her homework done before we left. She wasn't one hundred percent but we didn't know what else to do. Tierney didn't make it at all last week. Tierney didn't feel good still on Thursday and was pretty rotten in the car and at the visitation. When we went out to eat afterwards she was asking to go back to the hotel for some quiet. I figured she must not feel well because she does not usually recognize when she needs quiet time. Tay had a rough time on Friday night. She is really sad about grandma and not understanding why she had to die. Tierney doesn't quite get it and thought grandma would be at the hotel we were at. Even last night she was talking about where grandma is. It is hard to explain it for her to understand.

Here is a picture that my grandmother sent from when we went to visit my great grandmother in October. One of my great grandmother's friends took it.

Great Grandma

The girls and I went with my dad to go see Grandma Redfield on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. It was a long drive but the girls did pretty good. They were happy to see grandma!

Worse News

Dad called yesterday and told me that my great grandmother got her test results and she does have cancer. It sounds like it is in her lungs but they don't know how far it has spread. My grandma went up yesterday so hopefully we will know more soon. I haven't told Tay yet.... she took it pretty hard when I told her she wasn't doing well and she knows that when someone has cancer it is not a good thing. I figure I will wait until we find more out so please keep her in your prayers.

Bad News

My dad called and my great grandmother is pretty sick. He said that they thought she had pneumonia but now they are thinking she has cancer. She goes to the doctor this week to talk about doing a biopsy but dad said with her age it would be hard on her just to do that. So keep her in your prayers.
