We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!!!!

In Memory

Well, everyone probably knows this by now, but my Granny passed away on Sunday Dec. 10. We will all miss her very much, but we have wonderful memories to celebrate her life with. We know that she is in a much better place, and it will only be a matter of time before we see her again. We love you Granny!

Relief

Well, I have a bit of good news to report. I just found out a few minutes ago that I passed my 2nd half of comps & I don't have to do orals. That is such a relief, because there is so much going on right now. Thank you for all the thoughts & prayes over the past few weeks. They have definitely made a difference. Also, my mom said yesterday that my granny is doing a little better. She is still having problems breathing (because of her heart), but she had her first liquids & foods yesterday, which is a good thing since she hadn't eaten or drank since Saturday. Anyway, not much else to report. I've been scheduling conferences & everything for off campus. I had put everything on hold between school & Granny.

A Little Emotional

This will probably be short, because I am a little overemotional right now. As some of you know, my Granny went into the hospital on Tuesday because she couldn't breathe. They found out she had pneumonia and an enlarged heart, and her blood pressure was 220/170. We went to see her Friday night, and she didn't look good. Anyway, this morning they took her off of everything (i.v.s, oxygen, etc.), so basically they are just waiting for her to die. This breaks my heart because this amazing woman quit work so that she could raise me since both of my parents had to work. I love her very much, and she has helped me become the woman that I am today. Anyway, I do have one positive bit to report. I passed half of my comps (the multiple choice part) with an 86 (I had to have at least 70). I don't know about the other half yet. I'll let you know when I know something!
