DH is arranging things at work so he will be driving us out to Nashville to see Zavier!
We can get a less expensive room not as close to Vanderbilt Hospital and just drive in to the hospital daily.
This works out best for us and we are blessed to be able to do it this way.
The few rooms available at the Hospitality House and Ronald MacDonald House I feel need to go to families of children so very critically ill who cannot afford a room elsewhere.
There are not really that many rooms for the amount of folks that need them!
This being Easter weekend also means more folks visiting!
We are making arrangements to be leaving Friday or Sat .
For us it is an 11 hr or so drive of about 700 miles.
Doing a 2-3 day visit!.
I just have to see our sweetie and love on him!
Phones are okay but not the same as being there.
Talked with Kristy yesterday and things are looking up according to Zavier’s docs.! YES!!!!
Docs say the aggressive protocol they are doing is working and we are back from the edge somewhat.
Kidney is function better and other affected areas as well.
They have identified the tumor/cancer ‘type’ and radiation fights it well.
That will begin after they run a couple more tests/scans today.
There is a chance Zavier may not walk again but ya know we just never know what the future may hold!
I will not give up on him in any way in my heart and soul!
Working on his ‘Granny Loves Me’ Comfort Quilt now.
As many as I have done for others never thought I would be doing one for one of my own grand children!
It is helping me stay busy, focused and positive too!
We all have that need to DO SOMETHING at times like these, so this is may way of doing that!
The extra treat for this Grandma is I get to see the other 5 kiddoes too at least for a day on this short run out to Tennessee!!!!
Not sure if I will be able to email or post any while there .
If not will do so as soon as I get back!
Once again thanks so much for caring about a child and a Grandmother you have never met!
Thanks to our sweet Micki for posting about sending Zavier cards on her blog !!
The offers of help from folks we have never met has touched my heart!
We are all so blessed to be a part of a sewing /quilting community of such wonderful caring folks!
You are all awesome!!!!!
May God bless and keep you!
Hugs,
Lola
