In The Midst….

As most of you already know, I am in the midst of a Family Crisis. For those of you who don’t know, my Gramma Evelyn suffered a massive stroke last Wednesday morning. She is paralyzed, she can’t talk, she can’t open her eyes, she can’t swallow. The doctors at the Hospital told us there was too much damage to the brain for her to recover. She was released back to the Nursing Home over the weekend. According to her wishes, no extraordinary measures will be taken to prevent further decline.

Basically, it’s only a matter of time. And, so far, waiting has been the hardest part. Every single time the phone rings, I feel like I’ve been kicked in the stomach, because I’m expecting the worst possible news, at any given moment. As such, my time on the internet is rather limited. I am extremely busy helping my family prepare and cope with this matter. Although when I have had the time, I must say that I have found enormous comfort in reading all of your Facebook comments, emails, text messages, thoughts, and prayers, given on behalf of my beloved Gramma Evelyn. I will do my best to keep you updated whenever possible. But my heart is breaking.

I would like to thank everyone, for all of your love and support, during this difficult time.

  33. Nicky says:

    Oh Meleah, go ahead and lean on us for strength, and always remember how much you are cared about. I hope you can take comfort in the memories of Gramma Ev and how much she loves you too. Although no words can really help make the wait any easier, or the loss when that wait is finally over, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

  34. Thank you so much everyone. It’s been a very exhausting and emotional time for me and my family.
