We made it to Indiana late last night - it's a long drive from Austin to Indianapolis but we managed despite a neurotic aunt and a mentally slow cousin along for the ride as well.
Sickness is one of those things that is just so hard to understand. Despite all our advances of the last hundred years, we still can have something so small devastate us so quickly. It was a shock for me to see just how bad my uncle looked. My mom had told me some of what had been going on with him, but to see him there with all those wires and things coming out of him - well it was hard to see.
My aunt Connie just looks so ragged, though it's understandable. She's been practically living up at the hospital for the last week and a half and the doctors still don't know anything. It's just really scary, especially since this is the family that was just down to visit us right before the 4th. And now he's laying unconscious in a medical ICU bed with breathing tube.
I am going to end up staying here in Indiana after my mom and cousin and aunt leave. To help take care of the boys and things for my aunt - since it will probably still be a while longer before my uncle is able to leave the hospital. It's going to be interesting, but it should be fun I love my little cousins.
