Grandpa Cherry Is dying

I found out yesterday that my Grandfather in Enlgand (My Dad's Dad) is dying of Acute Myeloid Leukemia. He has between 2 months and 2 years left to live. His doctor is amazed that he is doing as well as he is considering how far along the disease is. Thankfully my Grandfather is a Christian so we can rest assured that he is going home to meet his eternal father as well as his son who died so many years before him. Unfortunately not all my grandfather's children are Christians so they don't see things the way the rest of us do. My Grandfather is reportedly in good spirits. He and his doctor have decided to forgo treatment and simply work towards making his last days as comfortable as possible.

I am moving to England June 20, 2007

Grandpa Cherry

I found out via email Saturday night that my Grandfather in England may have leukemia. He's been taking care of my Grandma who has Alzheimers. It's kind of scary - but once again we don't know anything for certain yet. He went for a blood test last Wednesday and his White blood cells were low (?) so they gave him 3 units of blood and sent him home. He needs to come back to the hospital this Wednesday (Tomorrow) for a Bone Marrow test to see what the deal is. Please pray for him and my family in England as everyone is stretching themselves pretty thin to ensure that my Grandparents are never alone.

Thanks.

Good News/Bad News

So for about a month now I've been dealing wih a bit of a stressful situation. But now we have answers and I feel that I can explain what was going on.
My Mom went to the Doctor and was told she needed to go for testing for Cancer, Diabetes, and High Blood Pressure. My Mom never goes to the Doctor unless she is sick so the Doctor had never run any routine wellness tests on her. The results have finally come in and she doesn't have cancer but she does have Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. She is going in to see the Doctor on Tuesday to discuss what she needs to do now.

I received my UK Passport yesterday and I've gotten the go ahead from my aunt to fly over whenever I want. So now all I need to do is get there - haha - yeah that's ALL need to do.

I have finals coming up, a trip to Alberta, and we've moved offices at work and everything is a total mess.

To top everything off I've been fighting a cold since Monday thank goodness it's a long weekend - woohoo!

So you see Good News/Bad News.
