*Hugs back* Thank you! I did get to see her. Mom called me right after the cable guy left and I drove up to the hospital and got to see her. She's still alive but she's sleeping and when Mom came home from the hospital, she said that Grandma's breathing was slowing down to about ten breaths per minute and I just got a call from my aunt saying that she was down to eight breaths per minute so it's just a question of time.

I wish you weren't either sweetie, but I know you're excited about your trip. That would be great, it'll really help to have someone to talk to. *Hugs*
