3 Grandma's

Cameran is so lucky that he has 3 Grandma’s but I’m having such a hard time that 2 of them are very sick. Cameran is so young and if anything happens to his Grandma’s he wouldn’t remember them. This is one of the main reasons why I’m doing this blog. I know that Grandma Linda and Grandma Jeanne are two very strong woman and I pray to God that they can both over come there disease. This is what we found out last week.

Last Friday we found out that Grandma Jeanne’s kidney are failing really fast. Her kidneys are down to 18% witch about 2 months ago were up at 25%. She is now going through all these test to make sure her body is capable to handle a kidney transplant. Yesterday she did a stress test which took 4 hours to do. She doesn’t have the results back but she thinks she did ok. After she’s done with all her test and they tell her, her body is able to handle a kidney transplant her and her daughter are going to Madison to see if her daughter is a match. If her daughter isn’t a match Donny and I will get tested to see if we are a match. After Grandma gets a donor she needs to wait until her kidneys are down to 15%. We went out to dinner with Grandma and Grandpa last night and she’s doing good. We talked a little more about everything that’s going on.

Almost exactly 6 months ago on November 7, 2006 we found out that Grandma Linda has rectal and liver cancer. They gave her 2 to 4 months to live if she decided not to do treatments. Grandma has been doing chemo and radiation since. She has surpassed the 4 months witch is a hug step. For almost 2 weeks she has been in a lot of pain. She is on a pain patch and is on the highest dosages and she’s also taking vicuton. She said she took 40 in 5 days. Last week they told her she has an ulcer in her rectal area. They say it is a really large one, about the size of playing card. The doctors say this is a common side affect of having chemo treatments. The treatments have done what they were suppose to do, make the rectal cancer smaller but now she has an ulcer. With having an ulcer in this area, when she tries to have a bowel movement it just irritates this ulcer and doesn’t ever get a chance to heal. So the doctors desided to give Linda a calasemy. This is when they reroute your intestons and you get a bag put on. Having this done will hopefully help heal her ulcer. Linda goes in for this surgery on Monday the 9th of April at 5:30 am.
