Worried and stressed
I'm a total mess right now. I just got off the phone with my mom. She found out today my grandpa (her dad) is sick. They are doing more tests tomorrow, but the tests today show his kidneys and liver may be shutting down. This is seriously one of my worst fears/nightmares. I'm very close to my maternal grandparents. My mom had to move back in with them when my sister and I were 3. They are really like second parents to me. I know logically I need to wait and see how things turn out tomorrow but I can't help the tears. My mom does tend to overdramatize things. She gets extremely emotional about everything so I'm trying to keep that in mind. It might not be as bad as she made it sound.
Just needed to get my worries and fears out. My stress level for my test tomorrow is not improving with my worries.

I talked to my mom last night. They gave him something on Wednesday that helped his kidneys a little so they were able to get some dye into his system and do a CT scan yesterday. The doctors didn't find any cancer in the scan. (YAY!). But he still has a kidney problem so they are sending him to a kidney specialist next week.
They aren't sure what the lump is in his throat. He's had it for the last three months and sometimes it makes him sound hoarse. He is seeing another specialist for that in six weeks.
My grandpa's birthday is tomorrow so I'm going to call him and see how he's feeling. He always jokes that he's 29 and holding so I was thinking about finding a birthday card about that and sending it to him. I'm still making plans to go visit soon. They live 13 hours away from me and I don't get to see them much.

I am happy to hear some good news. I am sure a visit/phone call/ or card would cheer him up!
Still thinking about your family.
