I feel like I need to avoid anyone in my life that is over 75, because they all seem to be declining in health. I know it's part of the aging process, but sometimes I think that it is just cruel.
I feel this way because my paternal grandfather passed away right before Christmas and now it is looking like Scott's grandmother is not going to be around much longer. Granted we all thought this about 2 years ago when she first fell and got sick, but she did not lose the ability or desire to eat. Her blood pressure is really low, and she has been in SO much pain for so many years that has just gotten reall really bad over the past few months. I hate it for my husband, and especially for my mother-in-law. It is just so sad.
Minnie Lee is such an amazing woman. It has only been recently that she has complained of pain. She has always been so sweet and caring. So faithfilled, and never feeling like God has abandoned her. Her mind has stayed sharp, even though her body has continued to detirorate. I pray that my mind is that sharp at 92. I also pray that I am that positive and caring at that age.
She is in the ICU at the hospital. We are just praying that if it is her time to go, it will happen soon. We just don't want her to suffer anymore than necessary.
