Last wednesday my grandma had a small mini-stroke at work. Just some confusion and blurry vision and slurred speech but after it was over she was back to her normal self. My mom took her to our GP the next day and he did an MRI and found a small aneurysm in her brain. So she has an apointment with a neurologist today to discuss a course of treatment for the anuerysm (maybe radiation or surgery). Needless to say I am scared to death. AND since my grandmother is raising my cousin Jennie (14) she is still working at the age of 70. Because of the risk the doctor won't release her to work (which she is very upset about with the holidays as she manages a resturaunt and gets paid hourly). So now I'm scrambling to come up with the $$$ to get Jennie christmas and facing the possibility of raising a teenager so that my mom can retire with my grandmother to her house in the country. So I would appreciate any prayers you could send my family cause I think we're gonna need 'em. And thank you for giving me a place to come where I don't have to think about everything thats going on and being like another family to me. For the last couple of days I have felt my mailbox just radiating with love everytime I open it and pull out YT Christmas cards. Luckily for Jamie I bought all of his Christmas first so he is set. Let me know if you have any ideas on what to get a 14 year old for Christmas.

You guys are the best.
