My grandpa

My family is going through a really rough time right now. My grandpa passed away last night at 9:45PM. It was kind of sudden but we were expecting it...meaning, he got sick in March and the Dr found a growth on his kidney that turned out to be cancer and spread to his small intestine, stomach, and back. When the Dr made the diagnosis he gave my grandpa 2 weeks to live and he lasted 5 weeks. I think my mom has taken the whole situation the hardest, she has been very emotional for the last 5 weeks, but she has been strong enough to help my grandma. My grandma is amazing! She has been so strong throughout this whole thing.
We took S to the Dr today for his well baby check up. He ended up getting 4 shots, but he did so good! He only cried for about a minute and as soon as I picked him up he nuzzled me and was fine. It just breaks my heart when my babies have to get their shots, even though I know it is what they need to stay healthy. S now weighs 12 lbs 8 oz and is 24 inches long! He is growing so fast! The Dr said he looks great. The Dr said he is also going to help us find a Dr up here, the one he suggested isn't taking new patients right now but he said he would call him and see if we could get in. I really don't want to have to drive 2 hours to go to the dr.
We also got the boys pictures taken today and they turned out great! I had a coupon for some free pictures and decided I better get it used before they told me I couldn't...even though it didn't have and expiration date on it.
Anyway, that is all for now.
