This is not a new chapter. It is a quick update. My grandfather made a turn for the worse this week, and they found he had multiple strokes, and now has blood clots in his brain. He is doing okay, but he is back in the hospital, and very scared. I have been spending all my free time up there.
I am scheduled to go to Las Vegas for vacation next week. I leave this Sunday and won't be back until Thursday. I don't want to go and leave my grandpa, but he got really mad at me and told me I was NOT to cancel my vacation because of him. I am going to go, but keep my cell phone with me at all times, in case something happens.
I have an update for both of my stories ready, but they need some final tweaks. Because of my grandpa and vacation, I won't be able to get them posted before I leave Sunday morning.
Thank you all for being so patient, and I promise as soon as I get back Thursday I will clean up the chapters and get them posted. I don't plan on letting my story go.
On a more personal note, I am asking all of you to keep my grandpa in your prayers. He has been my second dad since my dad died, and I love him deeply. The doctors are still doing tests so they can't tell us yet if this is treatable, and how serious it is. He is alert and talking and complaining about the hospital food, so I think he is doing good now.
I just wish I didn't have to leave him. It's a dammed if I do, damned if I don't situation. I don't want to go, but if I stay he will be mad and feel like it is his fault. My grandma promised to call me every hour while I'm gone, and I am prepared to hop the first flight back if something happens.
Thanks so much for you patience in my updates!
Love you all!
