definition of long day

At the end of today it feels as if I have been awake for something like 40hrs.
Was at work for two hours when i got a phone call from mom and she was like "Im on my way to get grandma and bringher to the hospital, and you need to get there. grandpa has taken a turn for the worst"
As soon as i put down the phone im in tears, rushing to call Bev and tell her im leaving. So imust send out my sorrys to Courteny and Lacey, cause i hate randomly nreaking down in front of ppl.
So i rushed to the hospital after calling Kayla and filling her in. Went up to PCU to see my grandpa. There are some sights you just never wanna see, and that was one...
i wont go into details tho
Somehow the tough old fart managed to pull out of his rough state and stabalize. Then the doctor comes and tells us that on top of his failing kidneys, a weak heart, and lungs full of fluid, he now has peunomonia as well :( and i guess that these paniced phone calls saying hes having a bad turn is gonna be something im gonna hear almost daily until he looses :(
So it sucks. I know him tho, hes Bobs dad. Hes gonna fight with every last breath.

After grandpa fell asleep i went and picked up Kayla who had been flown in on some tiny emergency flight, curtosy of Bobs friend Gary and his excellent quick thinking.
We went home so i could change.
Met mom
Then went right back to the hospital.
Visited for a while, then we went back home and i just crashed. Oh, i bought paranormal activity cause for some reason a horror movie was more appealing then Time Travelers Wife haha.

Then out of no where my doorbell rings and mom tells me to come up
it was Cortlin :)
he brought a Reese peanut buuter cup icecream cake haha. So that was pretty much the best thing ever :)
so we all had a huge ass piece. i appreciated it more then he knows

Around seven we went back to the hospital to see grandpa one last time. Mom kinda coddled him a bit, and you could tell that grandpa was irritated haha . i love that about him tho, even in that state he holds onto his pride, and told mom to take the damn straw out of his tea and let him drink it himself lol
tough old fart

Stopped at Walmart on the way home. Got some juice.
Now im home
and i wish that i didnt have to work tomorrow.
