Bad News

The roads are still flooded by my Wife’s Aunts house. It sounds like she is going to be living with us a few more weeks until the water goes down. This weekend we learned some bad news that is going to bring even more house guests for who knows how long.

My Wife’s, Grandpa’s Wife has esophageal cancer. It’s going to be pretty tough on my Wife’s Grandpa. His previous Wife died of cancer 20 years ago, and now he has to go through it all again. She probably isn’t going to last long though. It’s in her esophagus and as spread to her lymph nodes, lungs, and possible her liver. That would be tough for a young person to fight off, let alone an 80 year old.

They are from a small town in northern Minnesota, so they will be staying with us for a while as she is going to have treatment done at the Roger Maris Cancer Center here in Fargo. It will inconvenience us a bit, but it’s the least we could do to help the family out.
