What a Week!

Last weekend marked the beginning of an extremely stressful weekend. We were in the midst of teching Ballet Idahos production of A Midsummer Nights Dream when my grandma took a nasty fall. She's tough and didn't want to go to the hospital even though she nearly knocked herself out and had a nasty gash across her forehead, as well as a shiner that left her eye closed shut for three days. Needless to say, she ended up going to the er. Once there her body went into shock, septic shock, and started shutting down. We were given a 10% chance of her making it through... Long story short we nearly lost her, it got that bad. It's been a LONG weekend and a rough start to the week. As of today, I think she's gonna stick around for a while. We were incredibly blessed that she didn't break any bones.

This experience has once again brought our family together. Shiara and Chante along with sweet little Eddy flew home just in case we were going to have another funeral to plan. They are my silver lining in this dark cloud of a week. As you all know, I have missed my sisters terribly! We are complete, even if it only lasts a week!

I'm sorry to her about you week. How are both of your grandmas doing?
