Grandpa Ron is in the hospital

Miss Bella and I have been spending most of our time in the hospital for the last week. She has been cheering everyone up in the waiting room. Her Grandpa Ron - my dad - has been in critical care since last Saturday. He lives by the water and they think he was trying to shoot a water moccasin but the gun jammed and he must have accidentally shot himself in the chest and out the shoulder. He just missed his heart but did hit his lung. He was also on a blood thinner for medical reasons and they think he was alone at least 45 minutes before his girlfriend found him. So needless to say he had lost a lot of blood. He was responsive the first few days even though they have him sedated and on a breathing machine but over the last few days they have not been able to get him to respond even when they turn the sedation off. We are still at a "wait and see" standstill. They are now thinking there is something neurological going on. My sister had come down from NC but had to leave today. I am hoping and praying that we get our Grandpa Ron back.
On a lighter note, my little wee one is getting to be such a big girl! I look at her and can't believe how much she seems to have grown and changed from that cute baby stage lately - not that she is not still cute but she looks more like a toddler now. She is learning and saying more as each day goes by and amazes me all the time! I just love her to pieces.
