My grandma

I'm heading up north to Gaylord, Michigan today to visit my 98 year old grandma. I found out yesterday morning that she is in the hospital with kidney failure and pneumonia. She was in an induced coma over the weekend, but they brought her out of that yesterday, and she had some ice cream. Go grandma!

My dad doesn't think she'll be leaving the hospital, so I want to visit her while she is conscious. She will be 99 on September 5th, amazing! Her name is Florence. Here is a picture of Tony and I with grandma Flo 2 years ago up at my dad's cabin in northern Michigan.
