I am so mad and upset that I ready to just scream at my mom and dad. My dad went to the dr the other day and the cough that he has is from brontist.(any sorry about spelling). The dr gave him a antibodic to take and he just started taking it yesterday. I have been telling my mom for awhile now to get some protien powder and mix it with his smoothies and that there is unflavored too so she can mix it with everything. She asked the dr about it and he said that would be great. But now comes the reason that I want to scream at them. I called them to tell them that I found the unflavored stuff and would get it for them tomorrow. My mom asked me how much it was I told her that was a bad moved I know. She told me NO that they would not pay that much for it. The cost is 30.00. I told her that I would get it for dad. She then asked my dad if he would take it. He said No he didn't need it. My dad has lost about 5 lbs in month. The dr said the he did not start eating and doing something to gain weight he was going to have to go on pill.
I was so upset that I called my sister and we talked for awhile. We finally decide to have my oldest son talk to his grandparents and explain to them why the protien powder is a good thing. I ended up crying when I was talking to my son about it. He called my mom and told her that I was crying cause I was worried about my dad. My son was starting to cry too and my told him to tell me to go and the powder and she would make sure that he took it. I know it was not right to have my son do this but he is the only one that they will listen too. I know this is long and I am sorry for that but I really need to get this out. I just hope that my mom and dad realize that the only reason I did this is because I love them.

Thanks for listening
