So this has been a very stressful end of the week for me. But I will try to update everyone as much as I can.
Thursday the doctor came in and did a focus test on my grandmother he put his finger in between her eyes and your eyes are suppose to come to see the finger well hers did not. So the doctor then ran some more tests and he found out that she has brain damage. He said he was not sure what caused it but more than likely it was...when everyone goes to sleep at night at one point during the night you stop breathing and she stopped breathing for too long and has some brain damage.
Well fast forward to today and a MRI was done and we found out that she does have some brain damage. She has a feeding tube in just to make sure she get her nutrients and also any medicine will go through it her skin is extremely thin and tears very easily. Today they were suppose to move her to another nursing home.
While this has been hard on my family we do feel better that we know what is going on.
Thanks everyone for all the prayers. We truely are uplifted right now.

Prayers needed....
So my grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease not to long after TT and I got married. It was very hard on me to accept when I was about 20 or so my grandfather had this horrible disease and eventually passed away with heart failure. I just saw how bad this hurt my mom. A few months back (when it was still cold outside) my grandmother got out of her little apartment and fell and almost died while outside. So my family decided to put her in a nursing home.
Yesterday I got a phone call from my mom telling me they had to put my grandmother back in the hospital she was severely dehydrated. Basically she is so dehydrated it has caused a infection in her body and they are fighting it off wit heavy antibiotics while pushing nutrients and vitamins through her body. Currently she is not talking but is wanting to. The doctor feels confident that she will make a turn around.
And when she does leave we will be putting her in another nursing home because we do not feel she got the best of care and it was THEIR fault she got this way. When the doctors weighed my grandmother in she weighed 117...I do not know if she EVER weighed that little.
Last night I went to visit with her and it was the hardest thing i have ever done. I know my grandmother is 84 years old. And I have no questions she will be going to heaven to see my grandfather and not be in any pain. I am just selfish and I want hr here with me. I am struggling with this big time. And right now my family needs all the prayers we can get.
Thanks everyone.

TT and I have been married over 7 months.
On July 1 I asked TT if it felt like we were married that long and he replied "No, it feels like yesterday we just got married!". What a sweet comment.
It does not feel like it has been that long. I looked in our freezer the other day and noticed our cake topper and realzed we soon will be eating it!

July 4th Weekend!
So TT and I had a pretty low key holiday which was nice considering how big both our families are.
TT has not been feeling well all week so I had the privilege of spending the entire week with him!
Monday we went to the golf course with my dad and Scooter (SK). It was fun to get out and feel the warm hot sun on us. I enjoyed the reading time I got since I can not seem to grasp the whole golf thing. So I end up driving the cart around and reading. It is fun and relaxing for me.
Well TT was down the rest of the week and barely moved off the couch. We did have a church cookout at a local lake. It was quite fun fellowship with our church family and we also ate some really good food.
Friday my parents threw a small cookout with all the BBQ fixin' including homemade ice cream!!!
Saturday we went to TT's dads house for another BBQ cookout. It was quite tasty as well.
Overall even though TT has been under the weather we had a good and relaxing weekend together.
