My poor Gramps and Grams

Tonight I went down to the hospital to see my Grandma...it was worse than I was expecting. She has to have this huge ventilator on her face, it drives her crazy... and it looks a little clastrophobic. I feel sooooo bad for her. They have found out that she has Lou Gerins disease (i'm not sure how to spell his name). It is a disease that takes away all of your mobility...walking, talking, even swallowing. Everything goes except your brain. She totally knows what's going on and she's being so brave!!! Tomorrow they are taking the feeding tube out and putting it in her stomach...this will be so much better because the tube is killing her throat.
It's funny how sickness and death can bring a family together and then soon after it's tore apart. I don't understand why some family members have to be so selfish!!!
I love you Grams so much and I love you and I am so proud of you Gramps for also being so brave through this time in your life.
