Seriously? Come on!

As if this week couldn’t get any worse…
Today we found out that my grandfather has slipped into a coma. His health has been slowly getting worse over the last couple of years after suffering a couple of strokes.
The situation has been somewhat expected, but even when you know it’s coming, it is still horrible news.
On top of that, we found out that Sonja’s mom is going to need surgery for her back. They are going to be transferring her from the Luverne hospital to the Sioux Falls hospital today, and we will be discussing more about it later and find out when and what exactly that will be.
I have to admit, this week has been draining in every way possible. It’s only Tuesday, and I am already completely worn out.

As if yesterday wasn’t enough of a scare, today my nephew Eli went into the hospital after starting to get pretty sick over the weekend, and they did an ultra sound and found that his kidney’s are grossly enlarged.
While I’m not overly informed of what this really implies, from what I am told, this is a big red flag for a number of terrible things that I don’t even want to list as possibilities.
So, over the next few days they will continue to do more test, which simply means more waiting.
I hate waiting.
In the mean time, all we can do his hope for the best. Good luck, little man.

This weekend Sonja went to a small family gathering, with more extended family that I didn’t know. It was only going to be a short day trip, and then she and her cousin were going to Valley Fair today. In light of this, I had the weekend off, free to catch up on some work, do some course preparation, and just relax.
Of course, that all ended this morning when we heard the news that Sonja’s mother was in a Car accident late last night as she was driving home. The accident was pretty bad, at least four broken ribs which is causing some difficult breathing and possible fluid build up int he lungs, along with a fractured vertebrae, and a body covered in some severe bruising.
The good news, and what we’re thankful for, is that she’s alive and ok. Sometimes, it’s hard to tell yourself “it could’ve been worse.”
Although, as you can see above, I don’t think it could have been any worse for the poor Toyota Prius, as it is pretty much totaled.
