Update on Gram

Thought this would be a good place to post updates on Grandma, who as you know has been in the hospital suffering from a mysterious, severe and seemingly chronic case of liquid guts (aka diarrhea). I talked to Mom last night and she said that it wasn't getting any better. The doctors were stumped as to the cause. They hypothesized that it might be colon cancer and they did a colonoscopy. Grandma had never had a colonoscopy - not because nobody has ever suggested it but because she has always refused to have one. Today's update (you probably already know this by now but just in case) is that the colonoscopy came back negative, the diarrhea has subsided, and DJ will be moving Grandma from the hospital to Westbury Care Center tomorrow. Sue is going to get her some of her things from her apartment. She doesn't want a phone in her room, so I won't be able to call her. If anybody gets a chance to go and see her, please let the rest of us know how she's doing! As far as I know the doctors still haven't figured out what caused her to be ill to begin with, which is kinda scary. In other news, Mom and Pop were at the Death Valley visitor's center when I called them today, so they're almost to Reno. Love to all, Julie
