As some of you may already know, we received some upsetting news about Mama, my great-grandmother, this week. She was diagnosed with cancer and it has spread to several parts of her body already. She is still in the hospital in Slidell. They are keeping her as comfortable as possible for now with morphine. We are hoping to hear more detailed information tomorrow, but in the meantime, the doctor has already called hospice here in Lafayette to get the ball rolling.
As you can see from this picture, just 3 short months ago, Mama was having a blast at her 90th surprise birthday party! (See post from May 12th and pictures in Photo Album). She even danced around with her boa and her wand! She also received over 100 sweet cards from people who consistently said that she is a breath of fresh air and a role model for all. How great it must be for her to know how many people adore her!
We pray for her now that she is pain free and as comfortable as possible. We are going to visit her tomorrow and hopefully we'll have more answers. Thanks to all of you for your prayers!
