We had gone down to FLorida (Mothers day weekend) to see DH's 98yo Grandmother (who was doing GREAT! BTW). MIL said she was going FAST, so we RAN to see her and she...but she was fine (for a 98yo woman...she was better than FINE!!!). MIL has a way of seeing that glass as 7/8 empty (and I'm not kidding when I say that).
But now I fear MIL is not (how should I say this nicely...) exagerating. Grand-MIL's oxygen has dipped below 70%, she has been calling out for her siblings (all 8 of which are LONG gone). Yesterday she yelled for her mom and dad. MIL swares GMIL's kidneys are failing.
I am glad DH got to see his grandmother when she still had her wits about her, and DD will remember her that way as well (DS is too young, he wont remember any of this). She has lived a REALLY good life, but I know she has been in pain the last 10-15years.
