I'm not gonna lie, I'm scared thinking about what's gonna happen but I'm really trying to stay positive throughout this whole thing. We're all alert about my Grandma, we're all tired but at the same time we can't sleep. It's really tough going through something like this, when I lost my mom, I didn't understand why because I was so young and it's harder for me now since I'm older. I can't lose her yet, we all can't. I've seen my Grandpa (Papa) cry today for the first time. Right now it's pretty much keeping the faith, having her in our prayers and thoughts, and hopefully the doctors and nurses can pull through. My grandma is a strong woman, she's been through a lot in her life and this one now is her biggest challenge yet. I told her to stay strong, I held her hand and I felt a little grip from hers. I know she can fight it. I know she can..
