Be Brave For Bob.
Yesterday I got a call from my grandparents saying that they were in California. I was very confused because we usually all go down at the same time to visit family and go to Disneyland. They then continued to tell me that while my Uncle Bob was on his trip in England he became very sick and was rushed to the hospital. There they diagnosed him with pneumonia, kept him for a few days while he recovered and flew him back home to a Californian hospital. After doing more tests they diagnosed him with a very aggressive case of Leukemia. My grandparents drove down there to spend time with him before he got even more sick from being treated with chemo therapy. Soon he will become very sick and unable to see visitors so my family and I will be driving down to either help him through this long and painful recovery.... or say our finale goodbyes. That's really hard to think about... how one day you can be fine and the next your life could be over. If you see me crying in the next few days or even weeks... this will probably be why. I haven't spent much time with him... which I regret whole heartedly. Uncle Bob I know you can fight this.... I love you.

I am so sorry to hear about your uncle. Let me know if there is something I can do to. Be sure to take care of yourself through this process.
ReplyDeleteHow is he doing? I hope he is okay.
ReplyDeleteHe is doing much better. He has finished both cycles of chemo and is scheduled to come back home tomorrow; in about 3 weeks he will go back in for a bone marrow transplant. The doctors all have high hopes! Thanks for asking! :)
DeleteThat is good! I am happy for him and you! :)
