Thank you all.
I am very nervous about tomorrow. I haven't seen my daughter in 11 months.
The last year she has been awful to me. As have her husband and his family. And tomorrow I am walking into the middle of them all.
I keep reminding myself that it isn't about me, it's about my grandson.
Pray that I am gracious.

((((Blessings)))) I'm praying for everyone in this situation, and especially for you that you can embody grace and forgiveness no matter what their action/reaction. Be good to yourself, and remember that you don't deserve anything negative that they may try to dish out.

Thank you all
In true RADish form, we are acting as the past 11 months were not horrendous.
Considering the circumstances, that is ok.
My daughters husbands family has totally taken over.
I pray that is ok with her.

Hoping you have some healing time with your daughter, blessings. I'm sure it must be awkward and difficult, but you seem to be good at handling things with grace. How is your grandson doing?

My daughter and I spent the day together yesterday.
Learned a lot. It was awkward, but not confrontational.
Trauma bond trumps mama bond, and she is very accepting of the way her siblings treat me.
That being said, the siblings are in no way able to support her, so I will not have to contend with them.
My focus is supporting my daughter. She hadn't been outside the hospital in three days when we left yesterday for a few hours.
My grandson is holding his own. He is dreadfully sick. Between the disease process and the treatment, it is awful. He is getting fantastic care, and we can only pray and get through this. The process will take three years.
Thank you all.

I am back home.
Got to practice my best staying at the station skills. So thankful for all of you.
My daughter and I do great when it is just the two of us.
My dear grandson is very ill. So much appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers.
