Grandma Marian & Lucy
I can't believe it's been a month since I last posted a blog! There has been quite a bit going on here and I guess time just flew by.
Chris' mom is not doing well. About a week ago, they did a bone marrow biopsy and found that even after the chemo, she still had about 30% cancerous cells in her bone marrow. The doctors felt that they have exhausted all treatment options, so Marian decided to go home last Friday and is now on hospice care. Chris has been down in the bay area the better part of the last 2 weeks. Lucy & I were able to fly down last weekend to see the family, and it definitely lifted everyone's spirits to see Lucy which was great. She is not in any pain, but is very weak and sleeps most of the day. She is unable to get out of bed on her own or sit up on her own or even really eat on her own. This has all come about so quickly, I think we're all kind of in disbelief. I'm so sad that Lucy won't get to know her wonderful loving Grandma Marian...she is really going to miss out. We're all heartbroken. Chris is coming back up to Portland tonight for a couple of days and then will be going back to Petaluma early next week. I had originally planned to go to a pediatric dentistry conference in Washington D.C. over Memorial Day, so I was only scheduled to work Monday & Tuesday and then not back to work until the following Tuesday, so I have 6 days off in a row next week. I cancelled my trip to D.C. and Lucy & I will be going back down to Petaluma on Wednesday most likely. Lucy's cousin Tessa will be welcomed to the world this Friday May 23rd, because Lisa is having a scheduled c-section. That means we may get to meet her next weekend since we will be down in the Bay Area most likely, so that is some happy news.
It definitely feels like summer is here...it was in the 90's yesterday here in Portland!! Enjoy the updated pictures of Lucy...
