Today Where do I start, actually it started off to be a nice quiet and easy going day. Did my run thing with the dogs, drank a pot of coffee reading the paper and being lazy on the couch. Did some laundry between bouts of laziness, and things were going pretty good. My in Washington called about 6 to tell me her little 4 month old was headed for surgery. She was 14 weeks premature, and she's having a build up of CSF and they need to put in a shunt and drain now, so they were doing it. Right now she's a basket case, I havent heard anything on the baby, and I'm starting to look for airplane tickets and a rental car in Seattle. I told her I would be up there if she needs me, and I meant it. I dont want anything to go wrong for that little baby, she's 4 months old and only weighs 8 lbs. When I saw her the first time, my hand covered her entire body. She's in good hands and I know the Dr's are doing everything the right way. But I think my and husband and grandkids may need me too. Its only a few hours on the plane, and I know I can get the time off, so I wait. I wont sleep tonite, so I thought I would put a few words down and try and relieve some of the stress. I dont know if its working, but my keyboard is getting a workout. Even the dogs know somethings up, theyre laying on the floor, and not letting me out of their sight. I had to speak with her Mother about it, and if I need to go up in a hurry I agreed to take her with. That ought to fun, trapped on an airplane with her for a few hours. Oh wait, they do serve alcohol on the plane, maybe it wont be too bad if I have take her. I know she's just as worried about her as I am, we may not get along that well, but we are loyal towards our . I'm just going to grab a book for now, and wait to hear from her. I can handle anything that comes along, except the waiting. |

I will keep your Grand-daughter in my prayers over the next few days. I'm not sure what CSF is? I know exactly how you are feeling and I understand the waiting. My Grand-daughter just turned 14, you wouldn't believe how she looks today. She spent her first 4 mos. in All Children's Hospital. For over a year, she had a tube that delivered liquid food directly to her stomach and then she had another, that went to her heart. Today she's a very tall, girl...pretty healthy and has the most wonderful disposition and compassion. But I remember those days, those feelings. She's lucky to have a "caring" Grand-Dad and it's refreshing to hear that you and your ex...are civil for the kids. That's very unselfish of you both. Please keep us posted. I believe in the "power" of prayer. I believe in "miracles" too. Take care, Barbie
