Another not good Update: The results of the scope they did today. She has colon cancer. I'm guessing they'll do surgery, but we won't know much of anything until we talk to the doctor tomorrow.

Updating again! Well, we did recieve good news. Both of her infections have cleared up. So now we are concentrating on her surgery. She's failed every swallowing test they've given her, so they're going to go ahead with the stomach tube. They tried a nasal tube, but couldn't get it in. In the meantime physical therapy has been working with her, getting her out of bed and into a chair, moving her legs and feet and arms. She's responding more and is able to talk more. She still has a major hurdle ahead of her, but she's making improvements everyday and the doctors are really encouraged.

Somehow I missed this sad update. I'm so sorry to hear this. Your grandmother is really having a rough time of it. I'm glad for her that you and your mom are there for her.
