Avo Update

I thought since it's been quite some time since I've posted last; that I thought I should give you all an update to the latest happenings with my Avo.

She was supposed to see a specialist 2 weeks ago; however, in a twisted turn of fate, he was admitted into the hospital the morning of the appointment to have emergency heart surgery. No one can blame him for that. Trying to get an appointment with a different specialist has been a struggle. She was finally secured an appointment for tomorrow at 3pm. I will update you all on the results of that when I get the news; or any news from that appointment.

I saw her the day after she was supposed to go to the specialist and it's very apparent that she's declining rapidly. She doesn't recognise people; at least not at first, and isn't very able bodied anymore. She needs help to sit down, to stand up, to bathe, to go to the washroom--the list goes on.

She doesn't say much of anything anymore. How I long for the days of her rambligs of the day, her opinions about your clothing, or when will you finally give her another great-grandchild.

She has been silenced.
No more laughter, no more advice, not even a glace of recognition.
Nothing.

Please continue with your thoughts and prayers; we'll need them.
