Thanksgiving crazyness

So Thanksgiving this year has been a crazy one. So my sister and her family were suppose to be coming to Albany for Thanksgiving on Wednesday. But then on Tuesday she calls and says that shes got strep throat and doesn't know if they can come. So we were just going to wait and see how she feels after shes been on antibiotics. So she said they would probably be coming on Thursday. Well Wednesday around 10am my mom calls me while I'm at work and says that G-mommy (gmommy had surgery on Sunday and has been in the hospital since) has now gotten a blood clot and her kidneys aren't working so we have to go to Atlanta. So I left work at 12 went home packed and drove mom to straight to the hospital. So my mom spent the night at the hospital Wednesday night and me and my aunt went to gmommys house. That night is a whole other story itself just cause my aunt was so sleep deprived, it was hilarious. So my uncle got there and my cousin and his wife came over and spent the night there too, and another cousin and his wife got there around 12pm.

Thursday Thanksgiving morning I drove over to my sisters house which is about 45 mins away. We cooked Thanksgiving and had a great day. It was me, my sister Erin, her husband Eddie, their 3 kids, and his mom Rommie. We had a great day. My 1 year old niece was showing off and it was just so funny. She was dancing for me it was great. So that evening my mom and dad got there and ate and we all just hung around the house. At 10pm Erin, me, my mom, and Rommie went to Toys-r-us for their sales. The line was so long out around the building and down the street. So we left hahaha. . . On Friday we found out that over 5000 people went through there that night! CRAZY!!! Anyways so we left there and went to Walmart cause their sales start midnight. So we walked around for two hours getting all the stuff my sister wanted and then got in line at 11:50. We were in the check out line for almost 2hrs! I was sooooo MAD! I am not a good black Friday shopper. So we got back to the house at 2:30am. I went straight to bed.

So Friday my mom and I got our stuff together and drove back to the hospital and relieved my aunt so she could go take a shower. So we stayed for a few hours and until my uncle and some more cousins came. We went to G-mommys house and hung out with some of our family that was there then went to bed. I hardly slept at all cause I had to share a bed with my mom and she snored most of the night.

So then on Saturday my mom and some cousins went to the hospital and me, my aunt and uncle stayed at the house. We cleaned. I cleaned every bathroom in the house and did a ton of laundry just washing sheets and towels. Saturday night we all went out to eat except for my parents cause they were at the hospital. So we ate. Then I drove my aunt to the hospital to relive my parents. We were there till midnight though. We finally got back to the house and hung out with family for an hour or so then went to bed.

Then there is today Sunday. We got up early but then my aunt called and said that G-mommy wasn't doing well. She had an infection and they were moving her to ICU. So we all got dressed and got our stuff together cause some of us are leaving to go home from the hospital and others just don't know who's going to spend the night at the hospital tonight. So we get to the hospital around 11am this morning. It is now 7 and G-mommy is in surgery right now to get all the infection out. All her kids and all the grandkids have gotten to see her today. They weren't sure how things were going to go because she's not really fighting anymore. She's kinda givin up. (but before she went back into surgery she was a little more peppy than she has been so that's good) So everyone wanted to see her in case this is the last time we get to. I went back there to see her and didn't even stayed a min. I couldn't take it. For starters I am not a hospital person. They creep me out. So that was making me panic just being in that room with all that stuff. But also to see her that way was just to much. So I left. Everyone has been taking turns going in there to see her but I won't go in again. So now some of us have had to go home but the rest of us are just sitting here in the waiting room. This surgery will take at least 3 hrs. So we'll be here till late tonight. And dad and I are heading back to Albany tonight when G-mommy gets out of surgery. So no telling when we'll be getting home tonight. But for now it's just a waiting game. . . . .
