Emerson Ann & Stella Louise: April 29th, 2008

For those of you that don't know, my grandpa has had a rough year. To make a very long story short, my grandpa started to go down hill this time last year and after surgery, aspirating fluid into his lungs multiple times, and several hospitalizations, he ended up in a nursing home. His doctors don't seem to know what went wrong, but he is very confused most of the time. I have only been to see him one other time since the girls were born, and the girls had not met him yet. Yesterday, my mom and I took the girls to a doctor's appointment and then stopped to see my grandpa on our way back. Luckily, my grandpa was having a great day. He knew who we were and was able to carry on a fairly normal conversation. To our surprise, he put his hands out to hold the girls and we were able to get pictures of him holding both of them. In a situation with very little hope, we celebrate the good days.
