Day 54

Today was a very bittersweet day. I began the day very excited about losing another 2 pounds bring my total up to 13 pounds lost so far. The day went south from there. Grandpa came to me again and asked me to take him to the hospital because he was having chest pain again. He spent most of the day in the ER where they did a lot of tests and he was finally admitted tonight. Thankfully it was not his heart but it looks like he has some sort of mass on his lung which they are suspecting may be mesothelioma. Not a good diagnosis. We are all hoping and praying that he will be well, but it is hard to remain optimistic given the fact that he is 92 years old. If you are reading this and are of the religious persuasion, please say a prayer for Grandpa. It would mean a lot. Thank you.
