Sheila's dad, my mom...

I left Sheila up in Elkhart, Indiana with her mom. Her dad is dying. They can't do anything more for him. He is in the end stages of cardio vascular disease and congestive heart failure.
I had to get back to take care of the dogs as it is to much for my step dad to do it for to long with caring for my mom and working.
I will pick Sheila up next week or be attending the funeral.
Her dad suffered a major heart attack and only has 25% of his heart function left. Because his heart is not functioning enough his body is shutting down and if the try to fix one thing, they will sacrifice another, because he is to weak to handle the procedures.
My mom has two suspicious lymphnodes and will have a P.E.T. scan on Monday to see if it is more cancer or not.
Sheila got a new job and is supposed to start on Monday but they are giving her a week extension on starting.
We are exhausted and I am afraid I am a tad behind on the board. But I will get to catching up with everyone and your posts to me.
Hugs,
Laurie

Thank you everyone for your posts.
Sheila's dad is still hanging on. My mom goes for her scan today. We find out Wednesday if she has cancer again.
I will keep you posted.
Hugs,
