A hard time!!!

Just wanted to update everyone on whats going on with grandma. Last week grandma went back into the hospital. She got sick with the flu and then got pneumonia. We are not sure what's going on with her now, she will not respond very well to us. Its really hard to see her go from doing so well in the Rehab Center and getting so much stronger and getting to a point where so was so close to being able to come home to not being able to even talk to us. I was so grateful that John and I were able to spend about 4 hours with her the night before she went into the hospital. She was so fun and so full of life. She was joking with us about the food at the care center and was being so sweet and funny. I will never forget that time we were able to spend with her. I think that although we were very hesitant about her going to a rehab center or a care center at all , it ended up being the best thing. We as a family have been able to really bond with her in a way that I cant even describe. I have never felt closer to my sweet grandma than I have now. I do have to admit ... when I asked my grandma last night who I was she whispered ever so softy "my favorite" and then she went to sleep.
Please everyone keep her in your prayers, and also my grandpa who has been so sweet with her and has been at her bedside everyday for the last 3 months. He is tired and very worn out.

If that's not enough... yesterday my grandpa on my dads side was admitted to the hospital. His lungs are so full with junk and is in the late stages of congestive heart failure. The out look isn't good at all. They said that they will make his as comfortable as possible but didn't think he was going to last much longer. The weird thing is that my grandma and grandpa were both in the same rehab center and now are at the same hospital, at least it makes it easier to visit each of them.
So as you can see... never a dull moment.
Thank you everyone for your concerns, love and support.
