Gramma Update
I just love this photo of my grandparents and their girls
Gramma was in the hospital starting October 12th and was able to go home on October 17th.
Gramma and Honey went to meet with her doctor this past Monday to discuss the results of the biopsy that was done on her adrenal gland while she was in the hospital. It's confirmed that this is another cancerous mass in a different location.
She finished her last round of chemo the day she was admitted to the hospital and the finished that round of radiation when she was released. They want to wait until the 2nd of December to do another PET scan to see what all the chemo/radiation has done and schedule another removal surgery after that. They will do their best to remove the mass on her lung and adrenal gland during that surgery.
In the time between they want her to do her best to regain her strength that she's lost during all of this.
I know this is a selfish thought of sorts but the doctors have suggested she stay away from large groups of people which means she shouldn't come to my wedding. This breaks my heart because I really want her there for the ceremony and photos at least. I adore this woman and all that she has done for me and taught me in my 28 years and cannot think of celebrating my wedding day without her.
I will have to go along with whatever the doctors decide and how she feels that day but I truly hope she's able to come to the ceremony.
We appreciate all your continued prayers

Y'all are still in my prayers! Maybe you could visit her before hand and have pictures with her in your wedding dress, just you two and the photographer. I'm sure it'd be special. Whatever you decide, it will all work out. I hope she feels better soon!
I don't think your feelings are selfish at all! Every girl dreams of having the most important people at their weddings! I can imagine not having my grandma there either! Everything will work out! I will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers! Your such an amazing girl!
Girl, you are not selfish. Anyone would want that! Your family continues to be in my prayers. I'm loving all the smiles in that photo. :-) I think it's so important to keep smiling, even during tough times.
P.S. I love Camille's idea!
Praying, praying, praying. And please don't think you are selfish for those thoughts. I am 100% guarantee that I would feel the same if I was in your shoes. Everything will work out for the best & your day will be perfect and like you have always imagined.
Camille's idea is brilliant :)
ohhhh, or you could Skype the wedding for your gramma!
I don't think it's selfish to want her to be there. I hope she can make it!
This post made me cry! And girl, I do not think you are being selfish at all! I love Camille's idea as well ... I continue to pray for her, you and your whole family ... I hope that she will be able to come to at least part of your day!
That's not selfish at all! I can totally understand why you want such a special person there. I hope she's doing well enough to at least see you down the aisle. Praying for y'all!!
your feelings are not selfish at all, hubs grandma could not make the trip from Austin for our wedding so I kind of know how you feel - sending good thoughts your way!
this breaks my heart. As I was reading I thought "oh good! She'll be able to come to the wedding." then BOOM! I know you want to listen to the doctors but shes only going to see you get married once! I pray she'll be able to coe for the ceremony and a few, quick pictures!
thanks for the updates again! xo
also, is your mom a twin? Because she and your aunt in the pink look so much alike!
Continuing to pray for your grandma sweet friend! Also praying that she can make it to your big day.
What a sweet picture! I have one similar when my grandmother was in the hospital, but my mom's brother is in it as well. Something to cherish, definitely.
I'll be keeping your Gramma in my prayers and I hope she'll be able to be there for your big day. I know she'll want to be.
Many prayers for your Gramma & Family
My prayers are with you and your family. I hate when grandparents get sick or hurt. I hope she can go to your wedding.
praying for you and your sweet family
Release the weight of the heavy heart of what can not be.
Make room for the joy and warmth of today.
Cherish your emotions, as it is those feelings that you use to show and express your love.

I know how you feel. My grandmother was in a nursing home and had to miss my wedding. I was so sad about it because she and I were really close. I went to see her on the day before the wedding and my mom brought her my bouquet and some pictures the next day. I thought about stopping by to see her in my dress on the way to the wedding, but logistically it wasnt going to work out. I hope your gramma can make it to yours! And your not being selfish at all. :-)
