Moved back home
So this weekend I moved back home with my mom since Im 35 weeks pregnant. My husband and I thought that it would be better to have my family close by when I have this baby since he is on shift work. Its going to be hard leaving my husband but he will be down to visit and after I have this baby I can take our two boys and go visit him. I think that it is going to be hard on our two year old son who loves to play with his dad. But hopefully since most of my family is here it will be ok and my son will keep busy and just enjoy the time that he will have with his father when he comes to visit. Im just hoping that I cant deal with it because we have never been apart for a long time the longest time was less than a week. I guess we will just enjoy the time we have together more and make it worth it when he comes to visit.

Can things get worse
I just got another call from my brother he just told me more bad news about our Papaw. He told me that Papaw went in for blood work and things are getting even worse now. He just told me that Papaw has days to weeks to live because things arent looking so well for him. Im just really worried about my grammy because her and Papaw have been together for so long now. I really hope that he can make it til the end of this month because that is when I plan on going and visiting him.
Bad News
So tonight I got a phone call from my brother he just wanted to know how everything was going. I also got to talk to my dad and he was the one who told me the worst news ever. He told me that Papaw had stopped taking chemo and that now he was given like 2 months to live. Just when you think things are getting better I was told earlier the chemo had stopped the cancer from growing and that he was hanging in there. Then I get the news that he is getting skinnier and skinnier and in really bad shape but he is still taking the chemo. They had to put a port in his arm because they are having problems finding his veins so that they can give him the treatments. They were suppose to find out Tuesday if the chemo was still working and decide from there what they want to do. I guess that the chemo wasnt doing anything because they have decided to stop it and just let him live out the rest of his life. I just really wish that this wouldnt have had to happen to such a wonderful man as him. He def. doesnt deserve anything like this he is a good loving family man who would do anything for anyone. He served his country, followed the lord, and taken care of his family and has been a wonderful grandfather to me, my brother and all my cousins. I just really hate to see him suffer from this and be in so much pain but I really hope that he makes it to see his second great grandson who is going to be named after him. Im really just hoping that I will have to time to spend with him before he passes and that he will be able to see Christopher. Either way I will never forget him and my sons will hear tons of stories of there Papaw.
