I got the word this evening that my grandpa is not doing well at all.....his oxygen levels are dropping rapidly and his lungs are filling with fluid. I just got off the phone with my grandma and she said that they had moved his trusty recliner out of the living room and had brought in a hospital bed....seems he will have to be hooked up to his oxygen tank now full time. So....my bags are packed and tomorrow Zac is driving me and the kids down to Florida (8 hours), dropping off me and the baby, and then making his way back home. I know...seems a tad crazy - but really for us and our kids needs....this is the best option. Plus, price wise...the airplane tickets were crazy expensive.
I have a desperate need right now to be of service to my grandmother...as much as I can be in our circumstance. I'm worried about leaving the kids though, and will miss Zac - I may be gone for a full week...not sure yet, everything is a little up in the air. If you think of us, please pray for my sweet husband and him staying home full time with the oldest three. Please pray for myself and for Finn...he's been waking up constantly for four nights now and i'm pretty low on sleep. Please remember my grandmother and heart....pray for my parents traveling from Mexico to Florida and for my father and his grief. Please remember all of us as we say good bye to someone that we love and have always had.

Praying for all of you!
so sad to hear this. we actually met your grandfather before we met you all....during language school in camdenton. i remember he was so nice and had gentle kind way about him. I really liked him.
My prayers are with all of you. I hope God brings his peace to this sad time.
You're in my prayers, as well as the family.
