Sometime before Thanksgiving, Aunt Barbara (Dad's older sister) was diagnosed with Melanoma again. She had it about 5 years ago on her foot and has been cancer free until now. It has progressed throughout her entire body and she was told she has about 6 months to live.
We organized a little family dinner for the brother and sisters of Dad right before Christmas at our house. This is the gang with the exception of Donald. The order is Spencer at 87, Barbara at 85, Donald would have been 83, Alma at 81, Helen and Ellen at 78. I found out that their birthdays are close together, Barbara's is 12/28, Helen and Ellen is 1/5, Dad is 1/25 and Spencer is 2/5. We were going to have a birthday party for them all but Barbara has had a turn for the worse and so it has been postponed, maybe canceled.
As of today, Barbara is not receiving visitors and is having a very difficult time. She is on Morphine constantly now. We hope to be able to see here sometime this week, if she improves. It doesn't look like she will make the 6 months the Doctor gave her.
