Grandmother Update
I went to Tulsa for four days, getting back yesterday evening -- my grandmother had surgery to remove what they suspected may be a cancerous growth. It turns out that it wasn't cancerous, and she came through the surgery okay -- this despite quite a few concerns on the doctors part. But just as everyone was beginning to celebrate, she had a bad reaction to the morphine they gave her for the pain. (I didn't even know they still used morphine!) 5 hours later, she was released from the operating room, but couldn't see anyone for several days while she recovered. Unfortunately, during this recovery period, she began to struggle with pneumonia.
We only got about an hour with her before we left on Wednesday -- she seems to be fighting it, but it still has everyone worried... :(
