Remember the "Little Train That Could"? I think I can, I think I can.
Melissa, this sounds like a very stressful situation. I know things were already difficult. Just know we are right there with you. We know how hard it can be. We have all been there in one way or another.
There will be an answer to the financial problem. I don't know how, but there always is. It may not be what we had planned, but we do make it out the other side.
We are all thinking of you. I'm praying for you and your grandson.

Hi Mel,
Well, no wonder you feel like you can't go on much longer - your own flesh and blood is seriously ill and meanwhile your finances are depleted. It's perfectly normal to feel completely overwhelmed, especially when you're also in pain. You really do need to take a deep breath, both physically and mentally. Get out of that hospital room and get outside for few minutes to get some fresh air and sunshine. Go to the cafeteria and get a nice cup of hot cocoa or something. Unwind a few minutes, either by reading book or doing some computer solitaire. You're not going to be of much use to your grandson if you're completely depleted.
And here's a good reason for still fighting the fibro battle: your grandson. He's going to need you. And you need to be there for him, in body and in soul. And I do think you have the strength and courage to go on, as your letters have reveled. You just need a place to come to and unload yourself, and here we are. We're here for you, because we've gone through the same battle ourselves. Not a very pleasant one, but it's for a good cause. You can do it.
Big hugs Melissa, please keep us posted.

Hey Mel, you need to stay strong for your grandson, but you also as others have said need to take some time for yourself. You’ve been through a lot in a short period of time and it’s understandable that you’re feeling like you want to give up, but there are two little kids that depend on you to provide them a supportive loving home.
Petunia’s advice is great, you need to get out of the hospital room. Go for a walk outside or sit outside with a coffee, pop or hot chocolate, or if weather isn’t permitting fresh air, walk around the hospital go to the cafeteria, or quiet lounge , read a book watch TV or people for 15-30 minutes and give yourself an opportunity to relax and take a breather. Although my husband is home now, I found during his 45 day stay, sometimes I just had to get outside, as hospitals can be stuffy, noisy and depressing.
I’m sure the hospital doctors and nurses are doing the best to help your grandson, unfortunately as we’re all well aware there are no magic pills and things take time to improve… My heart and positive thoughts are going out to you, your grandson and your family
Gentle Hugs, my friend
Dearest Melissa,
My good thoughts and prayers are with you and your grandson! There is nothing more precious in all the world than a child, and these children are oh so fortunate to have your love, care, and concern.
My heart is with you,
SK
