Let's Go Bucks!
Don't post much, love coming here though, always a good time. but just had to get this out..

My grandma was diagnosed with acute leukemia today, and prognosis is not good. Chemo is not an option because of meds she is on for a pre-existing heart condition. Blood transfusion are the only option as of now...docs gave her a few more weeks with tranfusions, but unfortuneatly, there don't seem to be any other options.

Just hoping and praying for the best right now..

Just spend as much time with her as she can handle. Ask her about her parents and grandparents, and her life growing up. So much of your family history evaporates when a loved one passes on. More importantly, she will love to tell you of her loved ones, and about her life. Celeberate as much of it with her as you can now. Most older people have moved though the denial and anger stages and are looking to share their final days with their loved ones. Do not be afraid or uncomforatable to be around her as she moves on with the next stage of her existence. Of course, she gets to control what and if and how much time she wants to share this with you, but do not let grief and sadness keep you from spending as much time with her now as you can. If it is possible, let her see the newest little ones in the family and take some pictures. She will love to see them, and they will treasure that recording when they get older.
