Grandpa Scouller

Grandpa Scouller and I at lunch


Last Saturday morning we found out the Grandma Bonnie Scouller was Diagnosed with Terminal Cancer. She was sent to the hospital last wednesday after accidently taking one of grandpa's blood sugar pills. After a few tests of her reaction to the pill, they found a tumor on her lung, and it had matastasized to her brain. Then Saturday night while sitting at grandma Nobles, Grandpa Scouller called and was crying. He told mom he needed power, and asked her to come as soon as possible! Because i'm headed to Alaska on May 6th, I thought it might be a good opportunity to go over there to Sequim to see Grandpa as it might be the last chance in awhile. Being that Stephanie, Andrew and David were up for the weekend, they decided it was a good chance to go see grandpa as it could be awhile for them also. We all left about 6am on Sunday morning, and spent about an hour visiting with grandpa at Jeremy's where he'd been staying for a few days:) After being kicked out of the hospital we went back to Jeremy's and ate at Red Robin. Monday morning we went over to Sequim and talked with Bonnie and Grandpa some more. After returning to Jeremy's we realized that we couldn't QUITE leave Grandpa under his circumstances. So we went back over on Tuesday and stayed at Jack and Glenda's and kind of met with Grandpa secretly. He then finally felt comfortable Wednesday afternoon for us to go, and felt he had enough power. We stayed at Jeremy's Wednesday night to get some much needed rest to head all the way back home. (plus we couldnt miss american idol) Now we're home, and i'm posting some pictures of our visit with Grandpa!
