Grandma Update

Update on Grandma Wilhoite:
She has gone home from the hospital and is much happier there. The bone biopsy from Monday diagnosed her with Multiple Myeloma. We are not sure what stage.  Hospice is seeing her several times a week plus whenever we need them to. Since she has left the hospital, she has seemed to 'perk up' a bit. Philip and I took her a milkshake from McD's yesterday and she drank almost 3/4 of it, which is huge for her. She has a catheter in place and a hospital bed in her room. She is still able to get around with her rolling walker, and assistance.

She is very thankful to be home and have her family around her. Uncle Curt, Aunt Rita, Tiffany and little Harrison came in from GA this weekend. loved seeing them. I know Grandma did too. 

So for now we are focusing on comfort and just spending time with her. There is no way of knowing when she will make her home in heaven. But we know that is where she is going, and she tells us she is ready to be there. We tell her that we understand, and we will see her when it is our turn to get there.

Thank you for all of your prayers, emails, texts and thoughts. I have relayed all of them to Grandma and she always says 'thats wonderful' or 'thank you'. 

"He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and there will be no more death or sorrow or crying or pain. All these things are gone forever." Revelation 21:4
