Update In A Nutshell

Grandmother is swallowing liquids again after dealing with pneumonia, but is still in the recovery area of their Alzheimer's center rather than back in their room. Grandfather is not swallowing liquids after going through hip surgery and is officially under hospice care in the same room with her.

Our family believes in D.N.R. orders, and both of my grandparents have made those wishes clear to both my parents and the hospital upon numerous occasions.

We will be spending this evening/tomorrow moving their belongings from their regular room and into the hospital-like room they are now in and figuring out something to do with their beds.

Sister last seen last Thursday, the same day that she told us she would most likely be going to jail for anywhere from 6mo to a year after not passing two drug tests for her probation officer. My sister missed my graduation and at this point she may miss the passing of at least one of her grandparents.

One nephew starts school (next week, I think). The baby nephew is chumping along happily.

I have plans to move a desk into their room and set up their computer, possibly this weekend.

I'm suppressing my emotions.
