Today started pretty nicely with Da Da sleeping in an extra 15 minutes on his birthday. I had a card from JH ready when Da Da woke-up and JH ran up and said "happy birthday Da Da", and then wouldn't hand over the card.
We had French Toast for breakfast and after a bath for JH we loaded up the car to come to Chicago. Gramma was scheduled to leave tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM, we got a call at 1:00 PM that Great Gramma VanDerSnick / Junker was being taken to the hospital. We know very little as I write this other than Gramma V is on the train back to Moline and Great Gramma is stabilizing. Great Gramma is 90+ and loved by so many. When we show JH pictures of her he immediately says "that's Gramma Junker".
When we got home from dropping Gramma off at the train JH was going potty and I was hugging Da Da and I told him I loved him, JH said "I love you too Da Da", looking over at us while he was on the potty. He is so sweet and has had so much tragedy in his life we don't want to completely shield him but are careful to keep things lite.
We have our rescheduled home study tomorrow so Da Da couldn't go home with Gramma or drive her home. I know this is very difficult for him! We are all hoping Gramma Junker pulls out of this like she has several times in the past. We're all pretty numb right now and know we need to focus on Jonathan and our visit with the social worker tomorrow morning. Good thoughts for us all and a speedy recovery for Great Gramma.
