I'm thinking about how awful my grandpa looks tonight. I received a call from Dad who's in Florida told me that my grandpa isn't getting better, instead he's getting worse. That he's been refusing to get any treatment, his lung has inflated and the docs & grandma wants him to have surgery done to lift the lung up but Grandpa has refused it. Dad thinks that Grandpa only has few days to a week to live...due to cancer and phenomia.
So I went to the hospital tonight and it has hit me hard when I saw grandpa lying there on the bed, unable to move and I can tell that he's in so much pain, in his eyes, it's like he's giving up. I also was surprised to see my cousin that has drove up from Hermiston to see Grandpa. Grandma isn't doing good, I can tell by her body lang and facial expression but she's trying to stay strong. Grandpa was so happy to see me, that I can tell and I almost just cried at the sight of him, it has brought many memories of my mother who has died due to battle of cancer.
So for most of the night, my cousin Carl and I sat at sides of his bed, keeping him company and comfort. Nurses has came into the room, trying to give him medications but he refuses.... and that really hit me hard.... it's like I'm finally realizing that he's giving up. I'm totally stressing out about my grandparents and with top of it dealing with my emotions. But whenever I'm around my family, I keep a mask on, a mask of expression that everything will be alright, that I am fine when in reality that in me, I'm struggling with the term that I'm about to loose another family member to cancer.
