My grandmother seems to have pulled through this latest crisis but is now residing in a nursing home for the rest of her days. My mother and uncle take shifts visiting her and she so doesn't want to be there but this is what her life has come to.

Mother is too emotional these days to talk to on the phone much. I went to see her and my dad briefly on Sunday while she was cooking lunch before he had to leave for another doctor's appointment in Houston this week.

My cousin had a baby boy, named Robert James, last week. Her sister is still on bed rest with twin girls, Autumn and Amber (according to my mother) that still have a good bit longer to go before making their entrance into this world.
