The Best Medicine Ever!


As most of you know my Mamaw Drum has pulmonary fibrosis which is hardening of the lungs.
When Ashlyn was born the doctors only gave her a year to live.
As you can see she's well surpassed their expectations.
She lives and breathes for Ashlyn, and now Brennan.
They are her only great grandchildren and they are her WORLD!
Since before Christmas she's been bed ridden.
I truly believe that she has been holding on to meet that great grandson of her's.
Last week she stopped eating.
She's losing her strength and the hospice nurse thinks that it's probably just a matter of time before something happens.
I took the kids over last night and her eyes just lit up as soon as they walked into the room. Ashlyn made her a special get well picture and brought her the beautiful flower lei around Mamaw's neck.
Please say a prayer for my Mamaw and for our family duing this difficult time. Thank you!

Oh, I bet she just loved cuddling on Brennan! I know how special Ashlyn is and I'm sure that Brennan is such a joy to her. You know I'm here for you and she and all of you guys are in my prayers.

You know how much all of us have thought of Mamaw Drum over the years. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Ashlyn and Brennan are probably the best medicine she could have right now. Keep me posted on how she is doing.
