21-2-2010 - We're Back

My mood while writing this blog: Tired

It was definately a very long trip. The drive was filled with lovely games like, find Logan's bink and I'm not touching you. The girls settled their arguments with pillowfights in the back seats or Lolly pops stuck in each others hair. When we arrived we couldn't get our van up her road because of the massive amount of snow and ice. We had to get a lift from my great uncle. Mama was so tired and she did not want to listen to me when I told her to sit and be quite. David had the privelage of bathing my grandfather. My grandmother finished her last radiation treatment during a severe snow storm which left 24" of snow and almost killed us as my hubby fishtailed and we teetered of the edge of the mountain. We were lucky and had someone stop and help us pull the car back onto the road. It had to be brought down with out us in it so we had to hike 2 miles in 13 degrees f weather. It was horrifying. The girls were in there snow suites but we had to carry Logan in his car seat down the mountain in the storm in the dark. My poor husband slipped twice, luckily onlly the seat and blanket ended up with snow on them. It finally stopped snowing just in time for grandma to be rushed back to the hospital for low blood pressure 71 / 38. She was given blood, fluids, and antibiotics. Unfortunately the next day I had to return home. It was a very tiring trip and I cried having to leave her in the hospital. My mother arrived shortly after I left so I know she is in good hands. I dont know if I will ever feel caught up but I am really thank full to be home. It's so hard seeing her like this and it took a lot out of me but I know I will never be able to replace these last few memories for my own children. Her only request when I left is that I pray for God's mercy on her. So that is what I will also ask you to do. Please if you pray for her please pray for his Mercy on her.
