Rough month

Its been a rough month around the Renman house.  It started with my mom going into the hospital. 

It continued with putting Oreo to sleep on June 12.  What a sad day.  Taking Oreo to the vet was probably one of the hardest things I've done in quite a while.  She was so scared.  She hated going to the vet regardless.  I left her while she was doing her cute little "meow" that she does at the vet.  Its the only time she really does that meow.  I'm starting to tear up thinking about it.

The next day, my cousin Laurie died suddenly.  She had a heart attack at 36 years old.  She and her son, Julian, were moving to a new apartment.  She was packing up, and Julian was moving the boxes to the new place.  Julian came back to see his mom had collapsed.  He called 911 and tried to resuscitate her.  He had just graduated from high school.  My heart goes out to him.

Mom went back into the hospital that Thursday for some further tests.  Thankfully, the infection was only in the skin and surface tissue.  Some fluid in the muscle, but nothing in the bone.  On Friday, her surgeon did some clean up work.  She stayed in the hospital until Sunday.

On Wednesday of this week, we found out that my grandpa has prostate cancer.

On Thursday, we found out that Mike's uncle was in the hospital with a bruised spleen.  Evidently it was from coughing too hard.  Thankfully he was dismissed on Friday and is now recuperating.

And yet, God's grace is still sufficient.
