Granddad

For those of you that don't know here is a little update on Granddad. He of course has cancer and Parkinson's disease and recently he has been put on home hospice care. The doctors tried all kinds of different medicine and the last medicine he tried was almost like sending him into chemo which they thought that he wasn't strong enough for. Once he started taking the last round of medicine he got really sick and the doctors told my grandma that there was nothing else to do except put him on home hospice. He was not doing well at all and we didn't even think that he was going to make it to the holidays, well the holidays are here and I think he has turned around. In the past three days he has shown a lot of improvements. He has requested to sit in a chair (they didn't allow it), read his book, watch TV and yesterday he wanted to eat what we were eating (before it was applesauce and pudding) which he had small portions and last night he even had pumpkin pie! Yesterday we got to spend most of the day with him since we celebrated Christmas with my family and the look on his face when you walk in just melts my heart. Benjamin loves Granddad so much and was talking up a storm to him yesterday and Granddad just listened away. Here is the best photo we got of him and hopefully it is not the last...staying positive and sorry his eyes are closed :)
